Jesus Follower is the only title I want!

Hey there friends! 

There is a lot of weight given to the number of followers you have in the world of influence online and I have to stop myself and remember these things often.

*Remember that follower of Jesus Christ is the only title I need in this world. .

*Remember who God is in my life .

*Remember His Word and power is where I can be strengthened to teach and share the gospel with others. It is Not the number of followers or the title someone has. It’s my spiritual growth and relationship with Jesus that matters. .

Who else needed to hear this? 

 I sure did because these past few weeks I have felt the pull of striving and I don’t want to strive for anything other than Jesus follower! Jesus is my future and hope!

The Bible reads us back like a mirror

We can read the Bible and the Bible reads us back like a mirror seeing into my heart. I am asking myself am I seeking the right thing when I come to the Word of God? 

“For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror.” James 1:23

My desire is to never walk away from the Word without it changing me. I want to be a reflection of Christ for others to see more of Him. As I desire to know Jesus I must draw near to Him and in the book Ruth I see instructions given to Ruth by Naomi that shows me how I can have intimacy with my Redeemer. 

“Wash therefore and anoint yourself, and put on your cloak and go down to the threshing floor, but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking. But when he lies down, observe the place where he lies. Then go and uncover his feet and lie down, and he will tell you what to do.” And she replied, “All that you say I will do.”

‭‭Ruth‬ ‭3:3-5‬ ‭ESV‬‬ 

5 things to being intimate with God? 

•Be cleansed (1 Cori 7:1, James 4:8) 

•Be fragrantly set apart (1 John2:27) 

•Be clothed with the best (Isaiah 61:1-3,10)

•Be committed (Ruth 3:4)

•Be faithfully obedient (Eph 1:3)

All of these things are preparing my heart for a closer relationship with Christ to be a reflection of Him. Let us prepare ourselves like Ruth to meet the Redeemer of our souls today. 

Have a wonderful week and share what you are creating this weekend?

Grow in grace

“She selects wool and flax and works with WILLING hands.” Proverbs 31:13 

Gardening has begun here in my part of West TN.  

Our hands are how we can delight in God by serving our people, working where God has us, and giving of our gifts and talents God has given us to others.  We can share His love, kindness, and forgiveness to others through planting our hearts in Jesus! 

The proverbs 31 woman is a daughter of God who finds her satisfaction and joy in Jesus Christ alone.  Don’t think we can’t “be that woman” because you are if you are a daughter of the King🙌🏻 

Are you feeling unsatisfied or unnoticed?

God sees!  

Who needs to hear this today?

Have a great day friends!

Why I am Celebrating Easter

Thy Will be Done Hand Stamped Black Bracelet

Hello Friends! 

This week marks a really big decision God made for His son Jesus. It was for us. Jesus carried the burden and pain to the cross for our sins.  At the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prayer 3 times to the Father and each time he asked his followers to stay awake. They failed. I fail too. I have failed at being alert to temptations and fallen hard into sin but Jesus has the cure. Pray and repent to the Father.  

We have salvation through Jesus Christ🙌🏻 

Mark 14:36 says Jesus called out “Abba Father, everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not my will, but your will.” 

God’s plan was for Jesus to die for us. It wasn’t to be rescued from the pain of sin or suffering. It was to cure our sin problem and give us eternal life with Him. Jesus is the only way and through Him it is possible to be redeemed and rescued from our sins. Amen! 

Love you friends😘 

 I hope you have a beautiful celebration of our Risen Savior this week and Share what God is teaching you!
