With every INVITATION there is an answer~
YES or NO,
and
MAYBE doesn't count.
MAYBE lives on the fence.
MAYBE waits for a better INVITATION.
MAYBE procrastinates
Now, some MAYBES are sincere for when your schedule is flexible
and you are trying to move things around.
Do you have a MAYBE
that is making you live on the fence of making a decision?
Do you have a MAYBE
because you are waiting for a better INVITATION?
Do you have a
MAYBE
that is
MAYBE making you
procrastinate doing what you know you need to do,
yet don't want to do it
because
MAYBE
you afraid of saying
NO
to that someone
or to that something
that is
MAYBE
keeping you from
where you are to go to,
to where
GOD is desiring to take you?
Think about it.
There is someone at the door.
You look through the peep hole
and there
HE is~
JESUS!
HIS only words are a KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.
Your first response is to look at your messy house.
Your second response is to look at yourself as you are still dressed in your pajamas, and you haven't even brushed your teeth.
Is your immediate RESPONSE~
YES, as you open the door.
Or is it
NO, as you fear that JESUS will call you on the carpet as HE will expose everything you have done in your life
that will leave you in shame.
Or is it MAYBE?
MAYBE just MAYBE
JESUS is the ANSWER you have been searching for.
MAYBE just MAYBE
JESUS is who HE says HE IS.
MAYBE just MAYBE
JESUS just wants to LOVE on you.
MAYBE just MAYBE.
So you open the door.
And HIS first words are
“Do you want to get well?”
The same words HE asked the invalid who was lying by the healing pool
for thirty eight~years WAITING to get well. But the invalid responds with the excuse why he never was able to go into the pool.
And then you
RESPOND
with
"But JESUS I didn't mean to do ___________".
But JESUS I didn't mean to say ____________.
But JESUS I didn't mean to ___________.
BUT the question
JESUS asks is an INVITATION,
that is WAITING for a
YES or NO response.
Wow!
Think about it.
Whether you have been a
JESUS FOLLOWER
for years
or
Whether you have put being a
JESUS FOLLOWER
on hold for right now
or
Whether you are terrified to be
a JESUS FOLLOWER
because you FEAR
what others would say
because you FEAR
what it would cost you
because you FEAR
BEING
FREELY LOVED
with
GRACE
that
LOVES you
right where you are
because
JESUS never says
MAYBE
I will love you,
MAYBE
I will forgive you
MAYBE
I will give you the abundant life.
JESUS never says
MAYBE.
"COME TO ME ALL who are weary" (Matthew 11:28)~
YES OR NO?
"FOLLOW ME" (Mark 1:17)~
YES or NO?
"ABIDE IN ME" (John 15:4)~
YES or NO?
JESUS ALWAYS INVITING ALL~
"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears MY voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with
that person, and they with ME" (Revelation 3:20)~
YES or NO?
MAYBE is no longer an option
when
JESUS INVITES YOU~
"DO YOU WANT TO GET WELL?"
And you do
FIRST THINGS FIRST~
"I SAY YES"
