Change!?!

Now I have Jesus as my friend and Holy Spirit lives in me. What comes next?   Change!  Transformation! Don’t be afraid – It’s ALL GOOD!! Here’s what Scripture says (NIV): Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Philippians 4:12-13 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength. 2Peter 1:3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.

BFF

Once HE “gets” us, and we say “YOU are welcome LORD”, we have a Friend!! Now you are my friends, since I have told you everything the Father told me.  John 15:15 NLT That’s the part that, for me, made the BIG difference. JESUS isn’t just in Heaven waiting for me, HE is right here with me 24/7 via Holy Spirit!! He is the Holy Spirit, who leads into all truth…But you know him, because he lives with you now and later will be in you. John 14:17 NLT It’s a true loving relationship. He will not fail you or forsake you. 1 Chronicles 28:20 NLT We are never alone once we accept JESUS as our SAVIOR and invite HIM in! There’s always room for JESUS!! Is HE your BFF?

HIS Timing

Yes, it’s HIS TIMING! GOD is in control. HIS Will be done! HE finds us where we are! I thoroughly enjoy the stories of how HE “shows up” – unexpectedly, unforgettably, unmistakably!! HE is in charge of when we come into this world and when we depart into HIS arms. I’m ready, LORD!! Hey friends, how about you? Ready?

Closer

The question to the group of women at the conference was “Who is as close to JESUS as you can be?” Mine was the only hand raised. The questioner said, “Lynne, we may want to chat about that.” I was given no opportunity to explain – not even following the meeting.                                           I’ll tell YOU! This moment, I am as close to JESUS as I possibly can be. HE will let me know when I can get closer; It’s all up to HIM. It’s been that way all my life. We spend a little time together, then I “back off”. HE taps me on the shoulder, “It’s time to get together”. I enjoy HIM for a while, but then I “back off”. JESUS reveals to me just what HE wants me to know. NOW days, I’m eagerly “on the lookout” for more! You see, if HE had shown me back

Hug Him?

I have heard it said that God is our ultimate Authority and our most intimate Friend! We hold RESPECT, ADMIRATION, AND REVERENTIAL FEAR of HIM. We also hold a DEEP TRUST, ADORATION, AND LOVE for HIM. I knew OF Jesus from childhood, thanks to my Grandma. I participated in religion sporadically in my early-adult years. By my early-30’s I gave up; I knew HE is in Heaven; I’ll see HIM when I die. I don’t need HIM now. It was in my early-50’s that a young evangelist spoke about HIM with passion and love. She said that I could have a relationship with Him! I decided I wanted that! Now, in my mid-70s, HE is IN my life 24/7!! I LOVE JESUS!!  HE IS MY COMPANION, SAVIOR, AND FRIEND!! I eagerly await the moment that we see each other eye-to-eye! I’ll run into HIS arms and hug my FOREVER FRIEND

Question Him?

I was in a weekly Christian Zoom discussion group. One week the question was, “What do you want to ask Jesus?” Answers around the Gallery spoke of meanings of Scripture, meanings of life, thoughtful topics like that. My turn — My question for Jesus — “May I hug You?” That is my first question when I get to Heaven! Does this ring true with you? Let me know!
