Why Jesus?
God can take the worst
things...and turn them into
something beautiful.”
- Matthew West
“Why should I follow Jesus?” The truth is, God loves you. He wants you to experience peace and an eternal home. He loves you so much that He gave His son to die for your sins.
That’s great that God loves me, but why should I follow Jesus?
Because at some point in your life, you’ve messed up. God didn’t make you into a robot that automatically loves Him and obeys Him. He gave you a choice. And all too often, the choice is the wrong one, and it causes a separation from God.
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. - Romans 3:23
Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God.- 1 Peter 3:18
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. - Romans 10:9

The Process
This topic has really been waying on my heart lately as a subject that the Spirit wants me to focus on. It is actually something that I'm going through right now. The Process to me is the time in which great change happens in our lives. The changes that will be our testimony and story for others to hear how this Jesus of ours forgives and restores. It's in this time that we learn, grow and strengthen ourselves for what He has called us for. I am amazed daily at the wisdom and understanding He gives, loving His timing. Knowing that anything I may face, I can overcome with His strength. The Process is not meant to be easy because it's in the daily battles of life, choosing to fight for our faith and not giving up that we give Him glory. Choosing to call on the name of Jesus for strength now not relying on our own. The Process is being able to be lead without question knowing that who you trust in has ultimate authority. Praise God.

So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up.

2 questions that make you think
Are you just making the grade or are you making a difference?
Are you following the crowd or are you following the call God has put in your heart?

One sentence
I have this book that I started reading through the mens group at my church called Man Up by Dr. Cliff Self. I really don't know what compelled me to pick it up again as it's been collecting dust in the back seat of my car. It is a great book though but as I thumbed through to where I last left off at chapter 4, I got situated in the back yard to catch some sun too. The weather has been great lately. It wasn't but one page into chapter 4 when I came across a sentence that described the difference between love & lust perfectly. Dr. Self said: "Love satisfies you at my expense, and lust satisfies me at your expense". You ever read anything that needs no explaination...just a little back drop.
