ALL ABOUT JESUS

Acts 2:33 Now he (Jesus) is exalted to the place of highest honor in heaven, at God's right hand. And the Father, as he had promised, gave him the Holy Spirit to pour out upon us, just as you see and hear today.

Everything good in our lives, as believers, is about Jesus, His love and forgiveness, His grace, His righteousness, His mercy.

Everything good we have in life, as believers, is because Jesus came to this earth, suffered the cross and rose victorious from the grave. 

Everything good we do in life, as believers, is because he has equipped us to do it, say it, write it, give it, receive it, whatever.

OUR WHOLE LIVES ARE A REFLECTION OF WHO JESUS IS IN US AND THROUGH US.

James 1:17 Whatever is good and perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.

If we're any good at anything it's because God has given that ability, it's not our 'smarts' that enable us, it is God Himself.  It is His goodness that is blessing us with every gifting we have.

So today, I just want to exalt Jesus and give Him all the praise and glory for any good that is coming to anyone through this blog.  I give Him all the honour and thanks because without His inspiration and enabling it wouldn't happen. 

I am giving a shout out for Jesus and thank Him for His grace in helping each one of us to do whatever He asks us to do. Maybe it's in phoning and encouraging someone, maybe it's in making a cake or giving a plant, or just telling someone they matter to you and you're glad they are in your life.  Just listening and being there for someone is a gifting from God. It all comes under the banner of encouragement and building one another up and all of that comes from the Holy Spirit who Jesus has poured out on each of us.  God knows we all need encouraging.

So let's exalt Jesus together each day for all His goodness that comes to us, but also for any goodness that flows through us to others. 

We give Him all the glory and pass on all the thanks to Him for every person He uses to make our way brighter and lighter. 

And do you know who that person is?  It's YOU! 😊
