In our conclusion of our "What Jesus Wants From Me" series we explore what choices that we can make that can Show We're Following Jesus. What is it that we dream about?
In targeting what Jesus wants from "me" we explore two kinds of Holiness. First that we are Made Holy by God, our Positional Holiness. And second our aiming at a Holy Liefestyle, our Moral Holiness. As we pursue the life Jesus wants for us we can see how Holy we are or can be.
In our continued exploration of what Jesus wants for me, He wants us to love. And to love the way He has and does love us. This love is sincere, it cares, it goes the extra mile, it's generous, it doesn't give up, it's forgiving, and best of all it brings us closer to Jesus
Jesus wants us to comply to Him. This brings on a Simple life, the power to continually love and the capacity to rest our souls. Jesus tells us to take His yoke upon us for it is easy and its burden is light.
Jesus wants us have self control. He wants this for us because in can protect our lives, it can add stability, and is necessary to stay close to Him.
Jesus wants us to have Joy forever. He gives us the truth about Joy and that lasting joy comes from Him.
Jesus wants us to be Patient. He shows us His heart of patience; that He rewards our patience; and that He fuels our Patience.
Jesus wants us to be faithful. But how can this play out in our daily lives. Jesus wants us to have a legacy of faithfulness because it is wise for us.
Jesus wants us to know the truth about peace and really get the His peace that is grounded in His promises.
The truth about thankfulness is that it can be an odd request to continually stay thankful. But Jesus shows us how being thankful alters everything.
A Forgiving life can be hard, but more we understand and lean on Jesus we can move our lives to forgiveness.
This is a start of a new series titled "What Jesus Wants From Me". If we are to follow we'll need to know what Jesus would like from us, starting here with humility.
