STAY FIT: Strengthening Your Connection To Jesusಮಾದರಿ

What if I were to say and do every single thing today “in Jesus’ name” with a thankful attitude? I can remember a pastor posing this question years ago, and I wondered how my choices might be affected were I to take this command seriously. He suggested trying to do this for one day, just to see what would be different. I had to think of it in very practical terms:

For today . . . 
• What if I ended everything I said with the phrase “in Jesus’ name”?  
• What if I approached every task on my to-do list “in Jesus’ name”?
• What if I viewed all interruptions in my day as being “in Jesus’ name”?
• What if I spent my money “in Jesus’ name”?
• What if I used my downtime “in Jesus’ name”?

I have the option to invite Jesus into every aspect of my day. Doing all things “in Jesus’ name” transforms my ordinary life into an extraordinary journey filled with potential. This verse reminds me that all I say and do is a reflection of the most important relationship in my life.
