A few thoughts.

WALKING WITH JESUS

"They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world." John 17:16 ESV

We are no longer of this world, and its attraction starts to wear out as we draw closer to JESUS. Walking with Him is a journey of discovery, first about how we are less than good, sinners, deprived and hopeless without Him, and then the better because He saved us, reborn to live with Him for all eternity. We are now complete, not lacking or in need of anything.

NO LONGER OF THIS WORLD

"If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." John 15:19 ESV

Suddenly, it doesn't matter what the world thinks of you. If you are hated by all for believing in JESUS and following Him, it's of no consequence. You only live for Him now, not a religious act of does and don'ts but a relationship amongst friends of gratitude and trust.

FRIENDS OF JESUS, THE KING OF KINGS

"No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing, but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you." John 15:15 ESV

Could we ever have imagined that we could be the friends of the King of Kings, the LORD OF LORD's, the One who created the universe and all there within? Could it ever have been imagined that we would forever live in His Kingdom as His family?

"But, as it is written, "What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him" 1 Corinthians 2:9 ESV

LIGHT VS DARKNESS

"Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12 ESV

No longer walking in darkness but in His light. So let us shine as lights on every mountain top for everyone to see, saying repent of your sins and be saved, for the King is coming soon. Our King is coming. Yes, He is!

WALKING WITH JESUS

Walking with JESUS transforms our worldview, our perspective about life, and everything happening around us. Everything takes on a new meaning. We no longer think in the temporal but now in the eternal, seeing the bigger picture. At the present, there is real hope for a better future that will last forever.

"For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding." 1 Chronicles 29:15 ESV

"But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ." Philippians 3:20 ESV

"By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit." 1 John 4:13 ESV.

Be encouraged, for the LORD is coming soon!

GOD bless you all!
