Jesus Does
Today we are again given the opportunity to begin another day. Maybe your mind today is cluttered with the negative thoughts again. First let’s thank God for this day and anything it may give us! Next, let’s get a little reasoning to questions that are clouding our minds. Stop thinking on why family or friends don’t have your back, or be by your side; Jesus will and Jesus does. Stop wondering why or when will someone actually be your protector, your encourager, a confidant; when Jesus already is. Truth is, you have always had that one constant standing by you in every moment. That still small voice you sense, that unknown whisper in the back of your mind. He uses the voices of loved ones, the memories of loved ones, through dreams or thoughts. Jesus does encourage you and protects you through everything, even when you don’t know who He is. Jesus does know who you are. Jesus does know your past. Jesus does know your future. When you have fallen away into the abyss of this world and feel there is no way back, and that you have no answers; Jesus does. No sin is so great that He cannot reach you. No problems that feel so overwhelming, that cannot be corrected or solved by you are no problem for Jesus. Opening up to believing, acknowledging, accepting God’s continued grace, mercy and love, you will become less clouded in all thoughts. Just take today to allow what Jesus does to fill your mind, heart and soul. No matter what awaits in the next moments, know without a shadow of doubt that Jesus does!

Prayer:
Dear Lord, thank you for another day. Grant me the ability to know that Jesus does know my needs and He will always be the one constant. Allow me to understand that not everyone is here to be of good service, though you created them to be. Help me to pray for those loved ones who need to gain insight into your love, your grace and especially your abilities to be there in times of need. Help me to be more like you, to be a servant to others in their time of need, and to trust that you can and will be there always. Amen.
