Cravings!

If you are a woman, you know about cravings!  Women seem to "crave" more than men.  Or perhaps, we are just more open about our cravings.  Whatever the case, what are you craving today?

Common cravings are: ice, cream, chocolate, sweets of any sort.  How about Jesus?  Do you crave Jesus?

When we crave chocolate or ice cream, etc, we may actually find ourselves driving to the store to get it, in order to satisfy that craving.  I must admit, I have gone out in traffic or a little out of my way to go to a certain restaurant or store to get  what I was craving.

The thing that we should crave the most is a deeper more intimate relationship with Jesus.  That is a craving that will not cost us money, or cause us to get in our car and go to the store.  However, it is a craving that will cost us our time.....it will cost us our lives!

Jesus wants our lives!  Not in order that He can take from us but rather that He can give to us!  Jesus always gives back more than we give Him.  He is looking for a willing and surrendered heart.

When we crave chocolate, we often find ourselves feeling worse after we satisfy the craving.  We look at the calories or fat grams listed on the wrapper.  We look in the mirror and already can imagine  exactly where those fat grams are gonna go!  We end up feeling worse after satisfying the craving!! (AT LEAST I DO!)

Not so with Jesus, we will never fully satisfy that craving for more of Him in our lives, but one thing for sure, we will never feel worse after ingesting His Word and His presence....we will only feel better.

Are you craving Jesus?  Great, just go to your Bible, take some time to soak up what He wants to say to you today......and keep coming back.......never be satisfied.........He is the greatest and He wants to speak to the needs of your heart

See you later

Are you looking for the perfect Christmas gift?

We've all been through this!  Many go through it every year at this time of the year.  Finding that perfect gift....Christmas gifts are fun and there is nothing wrong with them.   However, in the midst of your Christmas shopping and wrapping gifts, don't foreget to share Jesus.  Yes, use your Christmas shopping as witnessing opportunities. We will see people that we will probably never see again, cashiers, fellow shoppers, people at your church that only show up on Christmas and Easter.  Pray that the Holy Spirit would alert you to those people who need Jesus. It may mean actually telling someone about Jesus, it may mean showing who Jesus is through our conversation and our actions.  Have tracts available to leave with your tip or to give to someone you come in contact with.


Don't let Christmas go by without sharing Jesus with someone.  The whole reason He was born was for us, yes we are the reason!
