Prodigal: With Christ is better.

Me: With Christ is better than anything else without Christ.

This is from Intimacy with the Beloved by Pat Chen

Those who give themselves completely to Christ are often despised, mocked and looked upon as weird. The crowd demands that we prove who He is in us. They told Jesus to prove who He was. The world demands that we be just like everybody else. If we are not, they think something is wrong with us. We are constantly challenged to be like the crowd and to prove ourselves. But we don’t have to prove anything. Jesus has already proved who He is on the cross. We must battle against those same mocking spirits that Jesus battled on the cross. The evil spirits are intruders into our private lives with Christ. Our passion for Jesus is despised by the enemy. He hates our passion, and he hates us.

Present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. Romans 12:1
