“Jesus Loves You To The End!”
“Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end,” John 13:1
Eventually, the love of friends fades. As years go by we grow up and move on with our lives. Even some familial relationships can wane with the passing of time. But, there is one love that never quits on you. His promise was to never leave you nor forsake you, Heb. 13:5. He showed His devotion to His disciple right up to the end. And daily, He shows His devotion to each and every one of us by continually being there for us, loving us, interceding for us and hearing us when we call.
I am personally amazed at His undying devotion to us. Through all of our faults, shortcomings, and mess, He still stays committed to us even “to the end.” This is a source of comfort and reassurance for them that are His. Despite the tragedies of life or how much we feel like we are not measuring up, we have a Savior, nay a friend that sticks closer than a brother, Pro. 18:24.
The times and tides of life may ebb and flow, come and go, but Jesus is a solid source never to be moved. Somebody said, “It ain’t over ‘til it’s over!” And, since we are here today alive and with breath in our bodies, guess what, it’s not the end. Bolster your faith today in this great truth that no matter what it may look like right now, Jesus loves you to the end! God bless you!

A Word for Today: “Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
Dealing with defeat is more than just being discouraged. Defeat has a way of getting deep down within the spirit of man and making them feel crushed beyond measure. It’s more than a heavy load. It’s carrying the weight of disappointment, hopelessness, and pain without seeing any real way of being able to experience the least bit of victory in the end. Therefore, the shoulders slump forward without the strength to be lifted up.
How does one go on when they think they have no more power for the press of this life? There is nothing you and I can do to overcome on our own. A humanistic way of thinking will formulate plans over and over again but they come to naught. Or, any measure of peace we think to feel becomes fleeting and never lasting.
In Jesus Christ, we have our ultimate source of victory. He said, “Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” HE IS THE DEFEATER OF DEFEAT. He is the power that stands aright with no competition to put Him down. He is our way when there seems to be no way. Our comfort when the love of people is few and far between.
There is NOBODY like my JESUS! Ain’t that the truth! He’s my comfort when I am comfortless. He’s my fortress when I am surrounded by enemies. He’s my strength when everything within me feels weak. He has overcome anything and everything this world has thrown at Him and He stands ready to overcome for you, too.
We are far from defeated. We are more than conquerors. Everything that tries to convince us otherwise is a bald-faced lie from the enemy. We are secured in Christ. Christ has already won all the competitions of this life. He has already overwhelmed the enemy. He has taken this world by storm and we rest in the realm of His power, strength, and love.
To say that Christ has won is an understatement. He has literally crushed, obliterated, and stands on the head of every adversary we may face today. The world may think they have won but Jesus will flip the script on them every time and show who He really is. He has “disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross,” (Col. 2:15; NIV). His enemies are being made a footstool at His feet (Hebrews 10:13; NIV). He is the King of all kings and Lord of all lords and will conquer everything and everybody that tries to war against Him (Revelation 17:14).
In case you haven’t figured it out yet, WE ARE ON THE WINNING SIDE! There is no defeat for a child of God. We have too much victory available to us through the name and the blood of Jesus Christ, our Savior, our Redeemer, and our Victor.
He has already overcome and we will overcome with Him! Be of good cheer.

“Where My Life is Found!”
Some days my life feels taken.
Overshadowed with fear, my faith feels shaken.
But You told me that I’m not forsaken.
In Your hands, I am molded and shapen.
Failures, mess-ups, and disappointments
all try to rob me of my anointing.
Making me feel like the least of all,
but You declared my life has a mighty call.
Walking away is not an option,
I was brought in by Your holy adoption.
To make me more than what I see in self,
to rise me higher in spiritual wealth.
In You, I am rich to do a mighty work,
denying the frustrations that try to steal my worth.
I stand in faith upon that solid ground.
In Jesus Christ, where my life is found!
“And be found in him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith,” Philippians 3:9

The Sweet Wonder of the great, “I AM.”
There is so much that goes on inside of us, outside of us, and around us, that can literally make our heads spin. There are so many if’s, and’s, and but’s that we deal with daily making us feel deflated, depleted, and downright drained. Sometimes, it just seems that things are out of control and we can’t get a handled on anything and we have mastered or accomplished nothing.
But, I take comfort in the words God spoke from the midst of the burning bush to Moses, His prophet. He said, “I AM THAT I AM,” (Exodus 3:14) and I am drawn into a world of sweet wonder at the love my God has for us.
The human heart can get so muddled and become so bogged down to the point that it can’t even express properly how it feels or what it wants to say. But, the great “I AM” doesn’t need our proper articulation of words to understand our deepest needs on the inside. In His beautiful care for us, He needs only to take a peek behind the scenes on the inside of our being to see what cares we bear.
He is our perfect heart inspector. When you feel like you can’t get it out – seek Him out because He already knows, in His loving sovereignty, how to deal beautifully with you.
God can be absolutely anything we need Him to be. But, God already is the great “I AM.” Those two words with only three letters cover us, lives inside of us through His Spirit, and helps us in our most desperate need.
So, if it’s tears that’s on the menu of your heart today, that come without explanation, the great “I AM” is the perfect set of shoulders to unload the heaviness of it all. If life just seems overwhelming at times. The great “I AM” is, well, greater than anything, any plan, or any thoughts against you. Whatever may seem to overpower us will never take over Him. He will always be in control. During every waking moment or any sleeping night, the great “I AM” will always be standing watch, guarding, and keeping us at those times when we can’t keep ourselves.
I smile when I think of the wonder of it all – the sweet wonder of Him. He really is the lifter of heart, mind, body, and soul. He is beyond anything we need Him to be. God, is simply, the great “I AM.” With a period at the end of it, it closes the case on exactly who He is.
