Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and LEARN FROM ME, for I am gentle and humble in heart”….
Is your faith paper thin? Are you feeling burnt out on religion? Are your prayers empty because your passion is gone? Maybe you need to discover, or rediscover Jesus for Who He says He is for yourself. That’s what makes it a personal relationship. Stop depending on others, or church just on Sunday. Church is everyday within yourself waiting to come alive.
1 John 2: 27 “As for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in Him.” Question is, are you, or were you, ever really in Him?
Jesus is the ultimate gift of God to us. Jesus said look for Him and you will find Him. So whether it is now, your first time searching, or you fell back, I strongly suggest you take the time to discover Who He says He is. “I am gentle and humble in heart”… The same way you take the time to search out the best prices for those Christmas gifts on line, or maybe you were first in line on black Friday somewhere. All the Christmas presents you could ever imagine receiving, doesn’t compare to the presence of Christ. You search and go out of your way for many things in this life, WHY NOT FOR JESUS? Every excuse comes up not to have time for Him, I don’t get that, especially from believers. It cost you nothing, but cost Him everything!
I don’t know about you, but I want my Spirit to jump for joy when I hear His name, and then share to others all that He’s done for me. He gives me breath every day to go out and enjoy my life. I am blessed to have health and live in this country. I can go on and on….. I always want to hunger for Him, because ONLY JESUS can bring our cold hearts back to life. No teachings of men, only God alone, can shed the burning light which opens the mind of truth. If you’re not getting it, you must not be searching it with your whole heart for yourself. If you say He is Lord of your life, than you should be desperate for Him over anything else in your life. If you call Him Lord, your everything, than He should be above all, and before all things on your list of things to do. Deuteronomy 4: 24, Our God is a jealous God. He wants that personal relationship with you, that He died to have with each and every one of us. God will perfectly teach you, if you would only give Him some of your time.
I hope that whatever you decide this year to be your New Year’s resolution, I pray that Jesus is a BIG part of it.
