Priority #1: JESUS

            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  If you desire a life of abundant JOY, here’s the way…..Put Christ First!

           

            In order to develop a deeper relationship with Him, we must make Jesus our priority…#1 on our list! That means we should surrender every area of our lives…living according to His will, rather than our own.  Our friend, Micca Campbell from Proverbs 31 ministries posted on her Facebook wall this statement: “The only thing you'll miss by NOT surrendering your life is all God has for you.”

            In Matthew 22 the religious leaders questioned Jesus about which is the greatest commandment.  He replied:  “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all  your mind.  This is the first and greatest commandment.”

            Because we love Him, we should want to obey His commandments.  But each one of us is going to fall short because we’re human.  We have to remember that our spiritual growth process is just that…a process.  And we must seek God’s direction by humbling ourselves before Him, asking for His guidance in all areas of our lives. 

As the old hymn says:

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace

            I entreat you to drink your Joy Juice faithfully. Make Him your number one priority and radiate with the JOY of the Lord.
