Jesus...He offers the ride of your lifetime!

Many are excited about the new beginnings of each New Year, but bring their old ways of thinking forward-so not much ever changes & they end each year with few accomplishments & mostly disappointed. To live the abundant life Jesus promises (Jn10:10), you have to renew your mind constantly with God's truth (Rom12:2)...your end-is where Jesus begins (2Cor12:9). This is the sweet spot-where life is lived as God planned for all who believe in Him (Eph2:10, Jn6:29) & Jesus offers the ride of a lifetime to all who will let Him drive (Eph 3:20)! God'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 because you're going places! Riding with Jesus doesn't exempt you from heartaches & hardships, but He promises to deliver you from each one (Pr34:19) & doubt will always loom-waiting to steal the destiny God's promised you (1Pet5:6-7). 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 (1Cor10:13)! 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 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 in 2014 & live the life He's promised you? 1/1/14CIFL/LMM
