Day 19: Nothing But The Truth

Writer's picture: JoniJoni

No one likes conflict.

But what if the fear of conflict

keeps you away from taking the

risk to share THE TRUTH?

Well, I don't like conflict

and I feared it like the plague,

but I had to stop FEARING

to share the LIFE GIVING TRUTH

that has caused great conflict,

because it is worse to not take the risk.

Wouldn't you push a child

out of the way of a moving truck?

THE TRUTH isn't meant to cause conflict.

THE TRUTH brings LOVE to

the shamed,

the guilty,

the lost,

the addicted,

the rejected,

the you

the me

the_________.

THE TRUTH saves everyone.

Oh the GRACE OF TRUTH

that came with a price that wasn't easy,

yet it is so easy to RECEIVE

because it is FREE!

One step is all it takes

and that is to

PUT JESUS IN YOUR STORY

because HE wants to be in yours~

“I am the resurrection and the life.

_____ * (put your name), who believes in ME will live,

even though _____ * dies; and

_____ *, who lives by believing in ME will never die..."

And then JESUS asks the LIFE GIVING question~

"Do you believe this?” (John 11:25-26)

Oh gentle JESUS,

as HE never forces anyone to do anything.

and maybe that is why so many question

HIS INVITATION~

"Come to ME. Get away with ME and you’ll recover your life.

I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with ME and work with ME—

watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace

. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.

Keep company with ME and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly” (Matthew 11:28-30).

Well I FEARED becoming one of "them"

who said yes to JESUS,

yet JESUS never stopped pursuing me,

because that is what

LOVE does.

And I am beyond thankful that

I am one of HIS!

And that my friend is

where

JOY IS BIRTHED.

THE JOY

 that breathes life into nook and crany of your being

because

JESUS IS THE LIFE GIVER.

Embrace

THE GIVER OF REAL JOY!

READY! GET SET! GO!

"ONLY JESUS"
