Today Reminder (Change) – 22 September 2017



A reminder for today
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10)

We had a breakfast at the office this morning and I thought I will shock a few and have some coffee. It created quite a discussion and I must admit the coffee was not that great. I barely ever drink coffee so you can imagine the surprise. Perception is something we all do and we all are always aware of change. Anything that changes in our daily routines can have either a negative or a positive effect on us. Mostly (and I am assuming now) it has a negative outcome, because we do not like change especially when we are happy with the way things are. Believe me, change is also good. Especially when we look a life. We get so caught up in our daily lives that we tend to forget that there is more to this life than what we see. God made us to live and explore this wonderful world so that we can discover Him in all of it. From friendship to nature and all that surrounds it. Break the routine a little and get outside and find God in everything.

Jesus loved to open people’s eyes and change their routines. This is such a powerful verse and it holds so much in it. Jesus did not come for the saved, but the lost. He came for the those who felt guilty, those who wanted to give up, those who are outcasts, those who did not know Him and those who made mistakes. He gave His life for the condemned and broken. He defeated death and broke the grip of sin for the weak, the weary, the broken and the misfits. His heart is for those who struggled and felt to broken to be saved. Yes, that is you and me. He came so seek and save those who were lost and change their routines and alter their lives forever.

This weekend I want you to get outside and just live. Do not worry about tomorrow and certainly do not worry about all your problems, debt and struggles. Just live with a heart that totally belongs to Jesus and a life that is dedicated to Him. Let go of all your fears and just let Him in. Take a moment and walk with Him and spend time with Him alone. Next week will never be the same.

Lord, come in our lives this weekend and isolate us from the noise of this world and let us spend time with you and you alone. Renew our Spirits and give us strength for all that awaits us in the days to come. In Jesus name. 

Have an awesome day, dear friend of Jesus. 

Cheers
