Jesus Jesus Jesus. We need to cry out to Jesus. Every day, every night. So many of us need Him to help us. My husband and I find our prayer list growing more and more each day with people's needs and requests. I lift up my Mom and her health each day, our friend's son who struggles with "teen" matters and so many others. People simply need the Lord. I say it because He is here to set us free. You don't have to be a "holy roller" or consumed with the bible, church and only talk to people who believe exactly as you. That is not what He is about at all. He simply wants to be a part of your life each and every day. Can you imagine someone standing at your front door each and every day simply waiting for you to welcome them in? They are not intrusive with the doorbell or obsessive knocking or yelling. No they are simply standing there day after day, month after month, year after year simply waiting for you to welcome them into your home. That is what Jesus is doing. He is waiting for you to simply welcome Him into your heart to dwell within you and walk with you. I often tell new believers that a simple illustration to use when they are unsure of something they are doing or somewhere they are going to simply "picture" Jesus in the flesh tagging along with them as a friend. And to ask yourself ,"Would I bring Jesus here?" or "Would I be saying this or acting this way if Jesus were here with me?" or simply the question we all have heard and quite frankly have gotten too used to it b/c of the commercial use of it but "What Would Jesus Do?". It is a great barometer just like the illustration of how we ignore God's request to be our friend. What is it? Can God only get your attention now if He requests you as a friend on Facebook? Think about it. He just wants to be your friend. Won't you answer the door and let him in? Won't you accept Him as your friend as you do to so many on FB? No matter how trivial your problem may be or how tall the mountain seems to be, it matters to God and He loves and cares for us all and simply wants to be there for us! Let Him help you today. Amen!
Luke 12: 6-7
