The JOY of Relationship with Jesus



            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Your friend Jesus has prepared a special recipe just for you!
  
            Sometimes I think we fall into the trap of believing untruths from our enemy, Satan! He wants us to think that because of some decision we’ve made in the past or wrong choices that have negatively influenced our life, we can’t be loved by God! We don’t deserve God’s forgiveness. Don’t believe it for a second!

            None of us is worthy of what God freely gives...but it’s ours just for the taking!  He is our friend; He loves us unconditionally; He wants to wash away all those bad choices and give us a fresh start with Him.  It’s a “heart issue”.  If we are truly repentant and remorseful for the things we’ve done and we ask for His forgiveness…we are forgiven.

            1 John 1:9 says, “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.”  It’s as simple as that!  

  • Confess your sins.
  • He will forgive and purify.

The challenge is the daily living---making the right choices.  We certainly cannot do this in our strength. We must rely on Jesus, our Friend, our Sustainer, our Wise Counselor Who will direct us step by step.  Yes, we will stumble because we are human.  But He is there ALWAYS to lift us out of the mud and clean us up again.

            The JOY of a relationship with Jesus will fill you with strength and peace.  Trust Him with your heart today!
