Jesus offers the
abundant, Spirit-filled life. He offers grace upon grace and we move from glory
to glory reflecting His image in ever-increasing ways, as He offers us more
love. The “more” and “even more” of Jesus is available 24/7 to those who love
Him.
He has
saved us and called us to a holy life-not because of anything we have done but
because of His own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus
before the beginning of time. 1 Timothy 1:9
I have
been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The
life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me
and gave Himself for me. Galatians 2:20
Jesus saw you
before the beginning of time. He loves you. The reflection of Jesus offers us
an inner peace, a deep joy in spite of circumstances, a patient heart and a
generous soul. The people around us may need a dose of Jesus. Could it be you? Can you represent Him? The
angriest, most critical, most arrogant, addicted, culturally different people
you know need Him more than most. You may not think they deserve Jesus.
Neither did we.
Dear Father,
You love us, each one of us, right where we are. Change us
into Your image with the help of Your Spirit. The abundant life is filled with
the giving and receiving of God’s blessings. It’s how life works in the realm
of the Holy Spirit. We don’t get it, but we want it.
In Jesus name,
Amen
