Don't Stop

Reading Jesus healings is always so cool to me.  He healed the sick so simply and without trying to get attention.  Just with love and compassion.  I read again the story of when he sent the demons into the pigs and they ran into the waters and drowned.  Hear this "The herdsmen fled, and going into the city they told everything, especially what had happened to the demon-possessed men.  And behold, all the city came out to meet Jesus, and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their region."  Matthew 8

Why would any of us ever think that we will be accepted by following Jesus?  Some people will be drawn to Christ in us, others will want us to just go away.  The teachings of Jesus were and are hard for people.  In a nation where Christianity is becoming less and less it is important that we seek the face of God.  It is important that we ask ourselves 'Have I diminished Jesus in my life?  Have I forgotten what the bible says?  Have I listened to this world over what Jesus says?'

Jesus did incredible miracles - Jesus death and resurrection are true - His promises for us are true - But I think how sad he must be when he sees his people turning away and following what the world has to offer.  He is longing for you - He is longing for you to surrender the things of this world and to come to him in complete surrender.  The beauty that he has for you is more than you could even begin to imagine.  Let his miracles speak truth into your life.  The truth of his power - that power that lives alive in you.  His grace is enough for you.  Nothing can separate you from his love - nothing!

Are you hoping for a miracle in your life?  Me too!  Keep praying it, never stop.
