Sweet and Sour 365

What are you (what am I) choosing instead of Jesus? Do you numb out through distractions? Busyness, social media, food, etc... These things won't fill us or satisfy us for very long. We will keep looking for something to quench our thirst. Let's stop going to places that are dry! Let's look to Jesus. Let's bring Him along in our days. He longs for our company. When we realize that we aren't enough without Him then we can begin to recover our lives. "With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation." Isaiah 12:3

“The world may tell us we’re too much and never enough. But we can walk wildly in who God created us to be and rest freely in the work Jesus did for us. We do not have to be confined or conformed by cultural expectations. We are unchained from our past and unafraid of our future.” ~Jess Connolly

Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. ~John 15:13

Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him! ~Mark 4:41

"Mercy triumphs over judgment!" ~James 2:13

Be brave to do the hard things. Jesus is enough. Jesus says: “ Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to saving yourself, your true self .” Mark 8:34

"But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt." ~James 1:6

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." ~Ephesians 2:8 (NIV)

"Come to Me, and I will give you rest..." ~Jesus

Look for Him with the eyes of your heart...

Happy Mother's Day
