I has been WRITTEN.
IT IS FINISHED.
THE END.
So what do you do when you know that
something
IS FINISHED
and that you can't go back and CHANGE
what was WRITTEN,
because what was
WRITTEN is
ONE AND DONE.
But is IT really FINISHED?
Is IT really
ONE AND DONE?
Oh my friend,
that is when
your
STORY BEGINS
and
NEVER ENDS,
because
GOD NEVER ENDS
and
JESUS NEVER ENDS.
GOD IS the AUTHOR of your STORY.
HE chose to BEGIN your STORY.
JESUS IS THE FINISHER of your STORY.
HE chose to give you THE ENDING of
LIVING HAPPILY EVER AFTER
that
NEVER ENDS
because
GOD NEVER ENDS
and
JESUS NEVER ENDS.
Even though
your
PAST IS
ONE AND DONE,
is IT REALLY?
Is there a
SOMETHING
in your PAST that isn't
ONE AND DONE
because you just can't
forget about it
and wish you could go back and change it?
Is there a
SOMEONE
in your PAST that isn't
ONE AND DONE,
because you just can't
CHANGE and fix the relationship?
BUT JESUS CAN.
"For if you forgive others their trespasses,
your heavenly FATHER will also forgive you"
(Matthew 16:14).
ONE AND DONE!
Is there a SOMETHING or a SOMEONE in your
PRESENT
that is causing you to become tired and weary
because
CHANGE appears to an impossibility?
BUT JESUS CAN.
“Come to ME, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).
ONE AND DONE!
Is there a
___________
that you wish was
ONE AND DONE?
What is your ONE?
That
ONE
person,
place or
thing
that WAS in your life,
that IS in your life,
and what MAY BE in your life,
that is robbing you of
PEACE
JOY
HOPE
LOVE,
leaving behind
ANXIETY
WORRY
DESPAIR
REJECTION
BITTERNESS
&
____________?
Well
ANXIETY
WORRY
DESPAIR
REJECTION
BITTERNESS
&
____________
is never forever
as it is
ONE AND DONE IN CHRIST,
because
IN CHRIST
is where
REAL PEACE
REAL JOY
REAL HOPE
and
REAL LOVE
is
ALWAYS found
beyond the ripped pages of your
STORY.
From the moment you
INVITE JESUS
into those RIPPED PAGES of your STORY,
that you wish weren't there,
JESUS does the IMPOSSIBLE
so that you CAN
turn the page and live beyond
what was and what is,
because
JESUS
is
THE STORY CHANGER,
who breathes
NEW LIFE
into every dead place and space in your heart.
Oh I know this to be true,
as at times I learned it the hard way,
when I didn't BELIEVE that
I would ever be able to
have
PEACE in the midst of ANXIETY ridden circumstances
and
JOY in the midst of such deep DESPAIR
and
HOPE in the midst of circumstances that were crying for a divine intervention
yet never changing.
BUT the moment
I SURRENDER myself
and my
DISBELIEF
and answer JESUS' INVITATION
to COME TO HIM
and let JESUS do what only JESUS CAN do,
HE TRANSCENDS all IMPOSSIBLE
because HE IS THE POSSIBLE in
ALL CIRCUMSTANCES.
For JESUS made a PROMISE to you and me and everyone else~
"Peace I leave with you; MY [perfect] peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be afraid.
[Let MY perfect peace calm you in every circumstance
and give you courage and strength for every challenge]" (John 14:27).
Oh JESUS CAN
because
JESUS IS
THE PEACE that TRANSCENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING
and because
JESUS IS
THE JOY that TRANSCENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING
and because
JESUS IS
THE HOPE that TRANSCENDS ALL UNDERSTANDING
and because
JESUS IS
EVERYTHING in your NOTHING!
So will you join me
and
INVITE JESUS
to write
HIS REAL PEACE
HIS REAL HOPE
HIS REAL JOY
&
REAL LOVE
on every
IMPOSSIBLE that you have written on your heart,
Because
JESUS IS
and
"JESUS CAN"
