Jesus.

It has been awhile my friends. Since i know about a billion people read this and check everyday to see if i have posted something, even though it has been almost three months..

But if i can't write for others, then why not for Jesus.

I think something I have learned this week is that Jesus is God. Yes, I know i have known that since i can remember, but really. Think about it. The God who created you, died for you, and now he lives in you. So why don't we live for Him. IN EVERYTHING.

On my plane ride home i had this epiphany that i just needed to hand over everything to God. EVERYTHING. It may seem hard at first, but everything in your life can be so much more satisfying if you give it to Him. But you have to trust that He knows best whether to give it back or to take it away.

I know for me, it felt great to do that with my relationship with my girlfriend. We prayed together that God would be the center and that His will would be above all else. Talk about a reliever. We both know how much we love each other, but we want it to be a love that God has given us, not something we try to form on our own, so that is exactly what we will be pursuing. A relationship that has God's Love abounding in it and He himself at the center. AMEN!

Today at small group we were challenged to memorize this verse:
"In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has can not be my disciple"-Jesus Christ(found in Luke 14:33)

So here is the Question..
Will you? Will you give it all up just so you can serve Him?
It's the best decision you could possibly make.

Goodnight,

Zach.
