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!
JESUS is THE LIFE GIVER.
So let's enter into
JUNE
and
LIVE THE ABUNDANT LIFE
through our New Devotional Series
"THE LIFE GIVER"
by daily embracing
THE LIFE GIVING TRUTH
in every day life~
for there is nothing more REAL than
RECEIVING THE REAL TRUTH,
for that is
