Anything for Jesus...

"And they straightaway left the boats and their father and followed Him" - Matthew 4:22

This verse talks about Peter and his brother John, who left everything to follow Jesus. Jesus said to be fishers of people, not our heart desires. Those fish were examples of the things in our life. Except the fish are our heart desires. We just don't wanna leave until we've got the money, the life, the children. Matthew 19:16-30 teaches a valuable lesson. That unless you are chosen bu God and cannot leave the worldly life, you cannot be a follower of Christ. Simple. But Peter and John knew that God was leading them to an important man. And they were willing to give up their family, household and even their job for Jesus! We need to male a sacrifice for Jesus. A wise pastor once said, "If it doesn't hurt you what you are giving to Jesus, you are not loving him." This basically means that if whatever were giving to Jesus, has no value to us, it's a waste of time! We have to give up something to invite Jesus into our lives. We have to give Him our time, effort and seriousness. Expressing, "I will do anything for Jesus". If you miss out on my scripture reference section, here it is below!

Humble Is Best!

Direct my footsteps according to your Word; let no sin rule over me. Psalm 119:133  |  NIV   We need to let God's Word rule our lives, directing our footsteps on our journey through life. God is our Director leading us-even of the path LOOKS right, it doesn't mean it IS right. God knows best so we shouldn't be no-it-alls. Humble your self!

Key = Blue = Scripture  Red = Answers to questions  Green = Verses to read in your spare time. Black = Normal post Bold = Question  "Call unto Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." - Jeremiah 33:3.  Many people either don't believe in God, or become atheists, partly because of this question: Why doesn't God answer some of my prayers?  Answer: This is because of your heart. Before you ask this question you must ask yourself, am I pure? Have I sinned by mistake and need forgiveness? Or are my thoughts starting to make my light darken? Ask yourself these questions and their surely will be an answer.  But why must I ask myself these questions?  " So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart" - 2 Timothy 2:22    If we are not thinking good thoughts or have sinned by mistake or not, we have sta...

Christ Died For Me! Romans 5:8

"But God shows His love for us on that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" - Romans 5:8 Sin. God. Not friends. God tells us to love one another, but we only have one enemy. Satan. The person who wants to wipe out mankind forever. One of his main servants is Sin. Something that cannot get is close to God. But how does he bait us in? How? Worldly pleasures. Money, Fame, Huge businesses, Children and everything you could ever wish for. Satan shall give you these things but they shall not last long. Only things from Jesus last eternal, if we follow Him. SEE Joel 2:32 Jesus paid a big price to make us clean and pure. He died. It was only a heavenly body that could rescue us. Why not the Angels? You may ask. You see, they needed to be in the form of a human, which could not be possible before Jesus died. So God sent his Son. He gave up his pride and joy. His most beloved son. SEE John 3:16. We do not have to pay that huge debt. We would have to DIE if Jesus had not d...
