Offering Jesus

Have you ever felt like you've got nothing left to give?

Have you ever felt like even though you've offered all you could to a situation; it still wasn't enough?

Have you ever felt like you just weren’t enough?     

. . . Me too!

I am reminded of what Jesus says in Matthew 20:28-29.  “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” NIV

What if YOU really don’t have anything left to give? . . . But Jesus

What if YOU really don’t have anything more to offer? . . . But Jesus

What if YOU really aren’t enough for the situation ahead of you? . . . But Jesus

We can have all of the life experiences in the world, but if we don’t point people to Jesus, how will they ever find rest for their souls? Our world is longing for this Jesus, who will carry their burdens and give them rest, but they need to meet Him. Jesus needs to be introduced in the midst of their everyday situations.

The reality is – the only thing we truly have to offer into any situation is Jesus.

So how do we do this?

     1. Know God’s word in season and out of season.

Begin with memorizing one verse. Once you’ve memorized it move to another one. After that memorize one more verse. And so on and so on. You have to start somewhere – begin with one verse . . . today.

     2. Offer God’s truth into the situation.

It’s stronger than any conviction you’ll ever have, it’s more significance than your opinion, and His Word is essential in informing our views of the things around us

     3. Learn to trust Father God to love and care for His children even more than you do.

God has created us for a purpose – to give Him glory – in ALL we do and in WHATEVER situation we find ourselves in. He is trustworthy and worthy of our trust.

Let’s equip ourselves with God’s Word tucked into the recesses of our mind to pull up at any given situation.

Let’s be prepared to “care for the orphans and widows” in practical and tangible ways – always for the purpose to show Jesus to others.

Let’s cling to God’s truth.

This is how we give to others . . . even when we have nothing left to give . . . We Offer Jesus!
