Day 8: Jonesing For Jesus


Declaration of DEPENDENCE.

Declaring DEPENDENCE.

DEPENDENCE ~

Confidence

Craving

Belief

Trust

Obsession

Addictedness.

All words for DEPENDENCE.

What are you obsessed with?

What do you put your confidence in?

What do you crave?

What do you believe?

Who or where do you place your trust?

What are you addicted to?

I found another word for

DEPENDENCE~

JONES!

Now I really am convicted today as

DEPENDENCE

has taken on a whole different meaning.

JONESING FOR JESUS~

"to have a strong need, desire, or craving for"(google)

JONESING FOR JESUS

because JESUS

meets

every strong need

every desire

every craving.

To be addicted to JESUS.

To be FIXATED on HIM.

To FIX your eyes on JESUS

when a dead end is all you see.

To FIX your eyes on JESUS

when anxiety is your best friend.

To FIX your eyes on JESUS

when loneliness is paralyzing.

To FIX your eyes on JESUS

when

the what ifs

the if onlys

the should haves

the would haves

&

the could haves

leave you stuck.

To FIX your eyes on JESUS~

To

Have Confidence in.

To Crave HIM

To Believe HIM.

To Trust HIM.

To be Obsessed with.

To have an Addictedness to HIM

is

what sets one

FREE.

Are you JONESING for~

Peace

Joy

Hope

Love

and where are you looking for it?

When my eyes are FIXED on

other people, places and things

to fill those inner

needs, desires & cravings,

there always remains an unfulfilled hole that

still needs to be fed.

Because

whatever my eyes & whatever your eyes are FIXED on

to fill

that void inside

that is what you will become.

To JONES for JESUS

is to

FIX your eyes on

"whatever is true,

whatever is noble,

whatever is right,

whatever is pure,

whatever is lovely,

whatever is admirable—

if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things" (Philippians 4:8)

and that is

"fixing our eyes on JESUS, the author and perfecter of faith" (Hebrews 12:2)

Because when you are FIXATED on JESUS

you can't be FIXATED on anything else that blocks the path

of

Living FREE

Because

"If the SON has set you free

you will be free indeed" (John 8:36)

&

Being FREE

is

Being

DEPENDENT~

Confident

Craving

Believing

Trusting

Obsessing

Addicted

&

JONESING FOR JESUS.

And why JONES for anything else

when you are

"LOVING MY JESUS" (listen to the song below)
