What would you give to
JESUS
if HE made a special trip to your home
and said,
"I want you to give ME your most precious possession.
It may actually be something that is causing you pain,
yet you can't let it go.
It may be something that you love so much,
yet you are depending on it too much.
It may be something that you can't let go,
because you can't picture your life without it.
It may actually be you.
But whatever it is
I promise to carry it for you.
I promise that you will be filled with
MORE than "it" could ever provide,
For
MY PEACE & MY HOPE & MY JOY
is ABUNDANTLY MORE than
what
_______________ could ever try to give you.
Will you give IT to ME".
And there you are.
In utter silence, yet in awe.
JESUS made a special trip to come to see you.
And all HE asks is for your IT, so that HE can become
MORE
in your life.
So what if you gave JESUS
your IT?
What is your IT?
Is IT a habit that you practice, whenever you are feeling LESS then.
Is IT is a thought that you ruminate on,
in HOPE that the more you think about IT,
IT will change.
Is IT is a person who you LOVE so deeply,
yet they aren't LOVING you so deeply
Is IT YOU?
JESUS can SEE your HEART and your FEAR of LETTING GO.
HE knows you LOVE HIM.
But HE LOVES you MORE.
That is why HE is asking you for your IT.
So what does JESUS really want?
IT isn't specifically your IT,
as IT is your TRUST.
HE wants your TRUST.
So HE draws closer to you.
HE then speaks the following word
that piercse your HEART~
"PLEASE".
Oh you FEEL HIM,.
You never want to leave HIM,
because you are looking at JESUS and HE is looking at you,
with such an indescribable LOVE.
And you give HIM _________,
because
you want to live the ABUNDANT LIFE in the here &now,
and because
you are weary of carrying your burdens yourself,
and because
you are stuck in this moment and don't know how to press forward,
and because
you are disappointed & bitter & lonely & sad,
and because
you are tired of doing the same thing over and over again
expecting something different.
You tell JESUS to wait a second,
as you go and gather all your
"ITS"
so you can
SURRENDER each one.
One by One.
The first one was the most difficult to RELEASE,
because it is YOU!
And then it became easier and easier
to
SURRENDER MORE OF YOU
as you
become
LIGHTER & LIGHTER
as you
RELEASE MORE,
because your HEART receives
MORE than you could ever image.
JESUS asks.
JESUS waits.
For JESUS is a gentleman and does not force to
take from you what you don't want to give HIM.
If only you could SEE what HE has you,
in exchange for what you are holding onto so tightly.
But then you look at the CROSS
and SEE what HE gave up for you.
What is your IT?
Will you place IT at the CROSS
and TRUST JESUS with IT,
for HE has so MUCH MORE for you
in the HERE & NOW.
For JESUS is
bigger and better
then anyone or anything
that you make bigger than HIM.
So will you join me and
FAST from your IT.
RELEASE IT into the arms of JESUS,
so that you WILL experience
the MORE that transcends all understanding
because
JESUS transcends all understanding.
And all JESUS wants is
MORE OF YOU
and that means
Less of you.
So just ask~
JESUS, I want
"MORE OF YOU"
(listen to the song below)
HE takes it and gives me so much more,
more of what I really need~
HIM.
So will you join me on this
EPIPHANY Sunday
and give to
JESUS your most precious possession~
just as the
THREE WISE MEN & even the LITTLE DRUMMER BOY
gave to
THE BABY JESUS.
What will you give to
YOUR SAVIOR
because
JESUS IS MORE THAN A RESOLUTION~
HE IS SO MUCH MORE!
"I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
JOHN 10:10
