Many get excited about following Jesus but bring their old ways of thinking with them so not much changes & they become disappointed. To live the abundant life Jesus promises (Jn 10:10), you have to renew your mind constantly with His truth (Rom 12:2), it will set you free (Jn 10:10)! Every time you come to your end-don't fret...your end is where Jesus begins (2 Cor 12:9). This is the sweet spot-where life is lived as God planned for all who believe in Him (Eph 2:10, Jn 6:29).
Jesus offers the ride of a lifetime to all who will let Him drive (Eph 3:20)! He's not missed one tiny detail, He's included every mistake you've made (past, present & future), every wrong done to you & all your weaknesses...He even gives you the desire & power to obey Him (Phil 2:13)! Your part is to put your faith in Him constantly (Mk 11:22). When you're ready to give the first of your last, believe without seeing & risk leaving your comfort zone...then buckle up baby-Jesus drives really fast & you're going places! Riding with Jesus doesn't exempt you from heartaches & hardships, but He promises to deliver you from each one (Pr 34:19). Know that doubt is always lurking around, waiting to steal the destiny God's promised you (1 Pet 5:6-7). Don't allow these difficult & unknown seasons to interfere with your ride-God is faithful & gives you the ability to endure & a way out...every time (1 Cor 10:13)! Many leave the ride at this point, opting to believe what they feel instead of...believe what they know.
Listen closely, faith only grows in unknown & unfamiliar places-you don't have to know how God will carry out what He's promised to you...to choose to believe what He's promised you! I pray you won't opt out of the ride of your lifetime-will you follow Jesus? LMM #followjesus #christianinsightforlife
Shining God's truth across the world (Mt 5:16). When we lay down who we think we should be...we make room to become who God says we can be-His masterpiece to do the good works He planned long ago (Eph 2:10).
