Well, how about that!

It's Friday afternoon. To tell you the truth I am really tired. I want to share something great with you. It has not come to me yet. 

This morning I read about the rich young ruler in Luke 18:18. "He came and asked Jesus what he must do to gain eternal life? Jesus reminded him of the commandments. The rich young rule replied that he has kept all commandments." Jesus knew he was telling the truth. So, Jesus understanding where this young ruler's heart was told him, "You still lack on thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me. When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was very wealthy." The rich young ruler left. Jesus did not try to bring him back! 

Have you ever wondered why Jesus did not pursue him? I know that Jesus wants all of our love and attention. Are you thinking...well, I just can't sit around all day and night meditating on Jesus and the Bible! Of course not! However, we are able to talk to Jesus all throughout our busy day. We are able to thank him for our food, our health, our job and all the people he puts in our path each and everyday!

Has Jesus asked you a question that pierces your heart? Has he asked you to give up something that is not good for you? To be honest with you, Jesus has told me to study the Bible more and watch less television. I do love the Bible! I have no excuse. I am still recovering from all my cancer treatments. My energy and my endurance is still not where it use to be before cancer. When I do watch television, I pause on the commercials and pray for someone or remember some of my favorite verses. Well by golly, I feel great and I don't have to watch those dumb commercials!

Jesus love you and me! He understands exactly where we are and what's in our heart! Be willing to give to Him whatever He asks and you will be thankful!

I am His,

THANK U JESUS!

Jesus answered...

A good afternoon to you!

Recently, I have learned that I am Lactose Intolerant. So, with the Jesus' help, I am going dairy and sugar free! I look forward to this new challenge in my life. Hopefully, I will lose some weight too💪!

The verses of today is from John 14:5-6. In verse 5, Thomas asked Jesus, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."  

In this world today it is difficult to be a Christ Follower. However, when people ask us if we are a Christian, are we ready for persecution? Jesus dealt with it from is own people and from his home town and from his own family! I have had to deal with disowning from my siblings and two of my three daughters.

Are we ready to let people know that Jesus is the only way to heaven? About a year ago, I felt strongly led by the Holy Spirit to text all my siblings and my daughters and my son-in-law this message, "Jesus loves you and wants you back!"  Well, for those of you who do not know, I am the only Christ Follower in my family! The texts I received were angry! You would of thought that I cursed at them and that probably would have gone over more smoothly😏! 

My point today is that the name of Jesus is more offensive to the world than any other name! I love Jesus! He saved me cancer! What has Jesus done for you? My Mom tells me all the time, "I count my blessings every night when I go to bed!" That is a wonderful way to thank Jesus each day!

I am His, David Walter Wiseman

AMEN & AMEN!
