Life With Jesus
II Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
Hello again friends! Glad to see each and every one of you starting your day with positive vibes, positive expectations and the joy only God can give! In today’s post, we want to look at our lives with Jesus as the key part. In retrospect, I find it hard to believe one can live life without Jesus. For those of you who have not yet given your hearts to God, take a moment to see life through the eyes of someone who had a miracle happen to them; whether physical or mental. As you read about their experience or actually listen to their story, did anything resonate within your mind or did you sense something that was not of this world? Did you become overwhelmed with a deep sensation of remorse, a deep caring, something that you cannot explain? Those feelings are what it feels like to release all your cares, your burdens, your dark sinful past, to God. As you open up to allowing God’s Holy Spirit to bring His presence into your inner being; wholly, trusting, obeying, accepting; you cannot help but want that same feeling to lead you! You will need that giving, protecting, forgiving, guiding, teaching and transforming God to be with you at all times! As you develop that intimate and ongoing relationship nothing will be the same; every ounce of your being will want to become more like Christ, wanting to share Him with everyone! When we begin that transformation we stop living for ourselves and live for Him. We want to also, pray daily, study His word, praise Him, and worship in every moment! Jesus lives inside us; thus, making us a “temple”, and the reasons why we must take care of our bodies; physically, mentally, spiritually. He offers continuous guidance, comfort, protection and fellowship. With Jesus, we can not only receive His love, but we will begin to love ourselves and others unconditionally. Even in sorrow or trials, good times and success; life with Jesus is best because He is always there. Life with Jesus, what are you waiting for?
