"Follow ME!" (-Jesus)

I am probably pretty naive, but I'll say it anyway:
There arejust two kinds of people in this world . . . only two kinds oflife-goals:
1) Those who believe that Jesus IS -- is there for them tobuild their lives on . . . AND
2) Those who think they can "fit Jesus in", that Jesus changeswith the times.

It may come as a shock to you, but YOU CAN'T FIT JESUS INTOYOUR LIFE PLANS!

Jesus is the "odd-shaped cornerstone" that only works ONE WAY:
You can trust Him, and build onHim, and He will never let you down as long as you live! or else--He simply always gets in the way!

The first kind of people are people who really believe thatJesus doesn't change, and so they dare to follow him through the changing scenes of life. They believe that Jesus is NOT simply who wemake Him out to be. He is not the private, personal "God of our choice", but the God that IS! He is YHWH!

The second kind of people are people who act as if JesusChrist is in the same category as Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.They may never admit it out loud, but instead of staying in personal touch with Jesus they begin to accept what the experts say about Him,or they stop talking to Him because that is what little kids and old,old people do.
And so they change their god to fit their world instead of the other way around.The secret of joy in the Christian Way is this:

If you dare to put Jesus first, follow Him no matter where He seems to be leading you, and build your life around Him, then your salvation "experience" will be becoming a relationship!
God is not only your Savior from sin, but your Friend, who desires the very best for you!

Prayer: Lord we come to You, the Eternal God! We thank You we can dare to build our lives on You. Give us grace to make and keep covenant with You and live to please You. In Jesus' name, AMEN
