Come To Me

Come To Me…

Matthew 11:28 ""Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest (NIV)."
 
 
            God sees how we are not perfect and we struggle in everyday life. You and I could never satisfy God. God knows this and provides Jesus to give us rest. Life dependent on Jesus is life full of rest. Stress and disappointments in life can weight you down. You can be your worst critic and make your life feel incomplete. God's desire you to be complete in him. Whatever is stopping you from your rest needs to be fixed. You can fix it by coming to Jesus Christ. Come asking Jesus to show you His will. Jesus will show you his will for you until your find rest. Just seek Jesus with all you have.
            Be aware of the influence of your friends or issues in your life need that will stop you from finding rest. Do not allow these things to be in your life without first facing them. They will slow you down and stop your spiritual growth. Simply just come to Jesus. The world seeks to test you and your dependence on Jesus and Jesus simply says, "Come to me…." Surrender yourself and just come and find rest.

Pleasing God

"It's impossible to please God apart from faith. And why? Because anyone who wants to approach God must believe both that he exists and that he cares enough to respond to those who seek him (Hebrews 11:6)."
 

How are you living your life? Are you living to please God? Take the faith test to see if you are pleasing God with your life. Check your faith and see does it meat Hebrews 11:6 definition. Living to please God will please you. Living to please God results in peace and life full of purpose. Take the time to really look at your life and see do you have evidence of continuous prayer and meditation on God's every word. When you depend on God and pray to God you will not move unless you are firmly convinced you are doing what is pleasing to God.

Do no move in fear or doubt any longer, but move by faith. Move in prayer and dependence on God's awesome love. Depending on God by faith through Jesus will expand your life and multiply peace in your life. Depend on God and not on man. A pleasing life is a life that is free, full and faithful. This all comes from experience God's unfailing love through Jesus. Live pleasing God. Live by faith.
