Serving Jesus: Uncomfortable and Addictive
This serving Jesus thing… well it can get quite UNCOMFORTABLE.
Honestly it can.
IT IS.
There is no hidden agenda with Jesus. He puts it all out there from the beginning. .. “You must be willing to give up all to follow me. “
This is an exclusive relationship, no room for my idols.
NO
ROOM
FOR
ME.
He is totally not interested in this copilot business
He asks that I relinquish control and give Him the wheel and get in the back…way back
I must surrender my will and accept His
I must die to myself so that I can live in Him
I must embrace suffering and make of my life a daily offering
But even with all that I have to lose
I rejoice in all that I have gained
Because serving Jesus well it can get quite ADDICTIVE
Honestly it can.
IT IS
He takes my yes
And does more with me than I could have imagined
He hears me when I pray
He sees my tears
And always reminds me that He is on my side
So there is NO NEED TO FEAR
I am constantly receiving confirmation of His love
He has provided beauty for my ashes
Redeemed my past and gave me
A life that will last
FOREVER
