The more I get to know Jesus, the more trouble he seems to get me into.
…the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Hebrews 4:12-13
This is so true for me too. The more I read about the life Jesus lived and how He wants me to live I find myself living more counter-culturally, denying myself and my wants and seeking His will for my life. You know what? It’s a fulfilling, abundant, joyful, contented, challenging, thought-provoking life and I’m so thankful the Holy Spirit gives me the strength to go on.
…the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. John 14:26
