Give Me Jesus

Read John 10:10

Ever get winded?  You know what I mean - winded, going up a flight of stairs, trying to catch the elevator, hurrying to get anywhere.  Sometimes we're in such a hurry to get where we're going we get winded and realize we're not in the shape we want to be in and so we wonder what it's going to take to turn it around where we're no longer winded, out of breath and stressed because we're not in the shape we'd like to be in.

Transfer this thought to our faith - ever get winded?  Tired of trying and doing and relying on what we've got inside us instead of Jesus.  All I want is Jesus, Give Me Jesus and I'll be ok; in fact, more than ok I'll be energized with life, passion, energy, purpose, enthusiasm, and the abundant living that I was created to have. 

Friends, we can all have this abundant life.  The secret is this ask, simply ask for God to give us more Jesus.  John 10:10 tells us we have an enemy that will make us winded, zap us of our strength, come against us to steal, kill and destroy what God is doing in our lives and how He's using us to live for Him.  But that's not the end of the story.  Jesus, the greatest communicator ever, says "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

Let's be people who accept this, own this and then live this.  Want to make a difference, change this generation, inspire the next?  Then take hold of God's truths, this truth that we have Jesus and more Jesus means more life.  Pray this prayer this week.  Father God, give me Jesus, more Jesus in my life this day, this week, this month and this year.  Then and only then will we have influence with this one life we've been given.
