Jesus at the Center of it All

Jesus at the center of it all….Jesus at the center of it all.
From beginning to the end, it will always be, 
it's always been You, Jesus....Jesus!

As we sang this song today, in my mind I saw the sun burning brightly as the universe revolved around it. It’s not by chance that the worlds revolve around the sun. We need the sun for warmth and for light…without the sun, it would be really cold and dark. The sun helps the flowers to bloom and the plants to grow…things that are needed to sustain life. It also gives us Vitamin D which strengthens our bones so we can walk.

It’s not by chance that our life is to revolve around the Son. Jesus keeps us warm with the fire of the Holy Ghost so we don’t grow spiritually cold. He is light in this dark world….without Him we would be in spiritual darkness. He causes things in our lives to bud and bloom producing fruit and all good things needed to sustain us. Jesus gives strength to the weary so we can walk in the newness of life.

Jesus is to be the center of it all…does your world revolve around the Son?

You Are In His Hands

Isaiah 49:16 "See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands...."

I am not forgotten and neither are you!
    Those nail scars are a constant reminder to God
        (and to us) of His great love for us.
            No matter what you go through,
                No matter what you face, 
                    Remember, you are not alone. 
                         YOU are inscribed on the palms of His hands! 

When you're in God's hands, no harm can come that He doesn't allow. 
And if He does allow it, trust Him to work all things for your good. 

The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. (Rom 8:18)
 
In time, His plan will be revealed as we're formed into His image.
