Blessed by Jesus
SEEK TO LIVE IN THE PRESENT—with Me! Your life is a gift from Me, consisting of millions upon millions of moments. These countless, tiny gifts can easily slip away unnoticed and unused. The best remedy to such wastefulness is to fill your moments with My Presence. You can begin your day connecting with Me by praying: “Thank You, Jesus, for this precious day of life. Help me stay aware of Your Presence with me.”
Thankfulness keeps you linked to Me and anchored in the present. Worry, on the other hand, pulls you into the future, where you wander in barren places of uncertainty. However, you can always return to Me by whispering, “Lord, help me.”
To live consistently in the present, seek to become more grateful. Look around you, searching for the many gifts I shower upon you. As you thank Me for these blessings, go into detail—express yourself enthusiastically! This will increase your gratitude and enhance your ability to grasp how blessed you really are.
