Don’t try to impress Jesus!

Thought for the day: “My desires are your desires.”

If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:31-32

How to be a friend of Jesus?

The secret is don’t try to impress Jesus. Just be yourself and invite Him into your life. You can’t please Him through your efforts and you will never come close to His righteousness. You will fall short and fail Him. He alone is worthy!

God does not need you. You need Him and nothing else will suffice!

God is looking for one thing from you. Recognize who He is and walk towards Him by faith.

God is alive and wants to have a warm and personal relationship with you. This relationship will be based on trust and nothing else.

You seek God out for your every need and trust Him through the good and bad times. You never look at your circumstances but you keep your eyes on the Creator of all things.

You abide in your best friend by praising Him, praying to Him for your concerns, and filling yourself with His Word.

You come into oneness with Jesus through His Spirit living in you. Be still and listen for His voice and be obedient to Him when He speaks to you.

The purpose of God is to imprint His laws in your mind and heart and give you the freedom to walk through life free from the bondage of sin.

You can walk confidently with Jesus aware that He is at work taking away old things and making all things new!

He wants the very best for you!
