Spoken For

When Jesus died for us, do you know what He did?

He pointed to me and to you and said these are mine. I'm going to pay for whatever wrongs they do because I love them. I have their backs on this one. He picks up the tab for us every time we sin.

What love He has for us!

He said that I am worth more to Him than His life! Wow! Me, you and everyone else....our names ran through Jesus' mind as He was beaten to within an inch of His life. He saw my name written on the cross that He carried all the way to Golgotha. Even when He was taking His lasts breath He thought of me.

The Bible says "greater love has no man, then he that would lay down his life for his friend." I am glad that Jesus looks at me and calls me friend. He showed the greatest love for me that He could ever show. He gave His life for me....me.....this girl that talks to her ceiling every night hoping that Jesus is listening cause He is the best listener.

Why would I ever doubt that He wasn't listening to me? Anything that is important to me, He takes notice in and guides me.

Thank You, my friend Jesus. You saved me, when I killed You. You loved me, before I knew You. How can I ever repay you, but to live my life for You until it is my time to see You and my Heavenly Father in my eternal home.

Thank You so much!

Joy vs Excuses

Is it easier to be joyful or to make excuses of why we can't be joyful?

John 15:11

"I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete."

Why is it that so many people try to do anything to escape from being joyful? What is wrong with it? Then again, are people joyful and we just don't know it?

Some people have joyful hearts but don't show it on the outside.

NOTIFY YOUR FACE!

It's a very simple phrase, but it can change the way people see you. By showing your joy on the outside, people are going to want to know why you are joyful.

You are joyful because God wants you to be joyful. He wants His joy to be in us.

Show your joy!
