Jesus – the Most “Boss” of All
In John 15:15 (NIV), Jesus says, “I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.”
A servant doesn’t ever really know his master.
There is always an invisible wall between an employee and his boss. There are expectations, duties, reluctance obedience at times, unspoken opinions, and as much as you think you and your boss are friends, you never really are.
BUT JESUS . . . the most “boss” of all IS our friend.
There are no walls with Jesus.
If you feel there is a wall, YOU built it, perhaps blaming God for whatever event happened in your life. The truth is you have free will to make whatever choices you want.
Jesus is the one waiting for YOU to want Him as your friend.
Do you want Jesus to be your friend? Then tell Him, talk with Him, get to know Him. He is waiting to listen.
God is Kissing Me with the Sun
I know we need the rain. Sometimes, though, rain is dreary. The clouds block out the sun and then it’s really dreary and blah.
For about three days, it has been drizzling and raining constantly. FINALLY today, the sun peeked out.
The sun warms my soul and makes me really happy; it’s like God is kissing me with the sun.
We are Little Kids in Adult Bodies
I am convinced we are all but little kids in adult bodies.
As a woman, I still like girl things: the color pink, stuffed animals, pretty paper, cute outfits, flowers, pretty nails, etc.
If I was younger, I would wear an adorable tutu like the little girls are wearing nowadays.
I definitely wear a Wonder Woman costume on the days I felt like saving the world.
I might dance in the aisle of a grocery store . . .
. . . or throw a complete and total body fit when I wanted something I couldn’t have.
Men, who are big boys, still love their toys.
So, if we are still little kids in the inside, why isn’t it easy for us to see God as our Father? There is no better father.
As little kids in the inside, I think we still yearn for those hugs and kisses and affirmations we received when we were younger. If you never received them, then I know for sure you wished you had.
As we grew older, we learned about hurt and the pain of the real world. Maybe your real father hurt you or wasn’t there for you.
Perhaps you see God as you see your earthly father. I certainly did for many years.
God IS the perfect Father in every way. He loves us like no other, wants to spend time with us and wants to give us His blessings. But, unlike our earthly father, He never forces us or guilts us into doing anything.
God is waiting for YOU to turn to Him as Father. Take time to know Him through His Word because He is the most awesome Father you could ever ask for! Talk to Him about ANYTHING. I promise, He is listening to every word you have to say. Ask Him to guide you and help you. I promise He will. Believe Him when He says you are His most beloved treasure. He really does loves you as His daughter.
Because God is my Father, too, then I am free to be His daughter as a woman, tutu girl and Wonder Woman. How cool is that?!
