He Has Risen!

It’s so easy to get caught up in gossip, in chatter, in noise.  My Jesus resolution is to block that noise, to be kinder, to love my neighbor, and to build up my relationship with my Father in Heaven.  In this day, I encourage you to reflect on what God has done for us.  To look at our lives and see how he is working in it.  If you do not have that relationship with Him, know that he yearns for you!  He wants to be a Father to every one of us but we must seek, we must read his Word and he will, HE WILL, answer when you call!

 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?  If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!”  Luke 11:9-13

So many times, I need to remember that he died for me, he carried that cross for ME!  Let’s surrender everything… all of our fears, our worries to HIM.  Man, when we can just say, forget it!  I GIVE UP!!  Take it Jesus, I’ll follow in faith, will we have true peace 🙂  This is my constant prayer and something I constantly have to reflect on, that I can’t live in this world one day without Him.  That I can’t do it by myself!

My life verses…

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.  Phillipians 4:6-9

I encourage you to ask God for forgiveness, to forget about the small bickers, to love one another, to be kind and have a pure joy for this time that He has given us on this Earth.  He loves you, He loves me!  What he did for us is enough to stop with the complaining, jealousy, bitterness, hurt, and anger and focus on everything good that we have in our lives 🙂  Please remember that NONE of those things above come from Christ.  Their is a constant battle and the enemy is very real.  (These are my notes to myself as well!)

Let’s Praise Jesus, our God, today and everyday.  He fought the battle and already won!!!
