MAKE MORE TIME FOR JESUS BY ABIDING IN HIS LOVE AND GRACE EVERY DAY.

I tossed and turned all night. I could not get comfortable because my legs were cramping and my back hurt from moving all the furniture to my new house. The pain was excruciating, and I was so tired. My thoughts also kept me awake. Would I like this new community, and was it going to be a comfortable place for my family and my pets? Would I find a church home where I could grow in my faith? As I became more restless, I realized that I was not surrendering all to Jesus. I needed to abide in Jesus first, then I could let go and let Him take all my burdens. Nothing would be too hard for Jesus!

What is on your mind that is troubling you? Have you given it to Jesus? He will take what is bothering you and use it for good. He loves you and wants you to abide in Him. When you do, He will give you all the love and grace you need for what you face daily. Give Jesus your time and see what blooms in you. Much fruit grows when you abide in the good soil of faith in Jesus Christ!

PRAYER

Dear Lord, Thank You for giving me rest as I come to You weary and tired from all the demands in my life. I can fully rest in Your presence because You have called me to come and abide in You. Nothing can separate me from the power of Your love and grace. My heart’s desires are met as I open my heart to more of You. Thank You for loving me as I abide in You! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

PRAISE

Thank God that He will grow much fruit in you as you keep abiding in His great love!

PROMISE

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.” John 15:9
