"When I gave you My Spirit, I empowered you to live beyond you natural ability and strength. That's why it is so wrong to measure your energy level against the challenges ahead of you. The issue is not your strength but Mine, which is limitless." Jesus Calling

II Corinthians 5:7 for we walk by faith, not by sight.

Galatians 5:25 If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit.

*****

I have been upset about the lack of energy that I have been feeling lately. I need to stop worrying about what I can't do and concentrate on what God can do!! What about you?

security

"I want you to realize how utterly secure you are! Even if you falter as you journey through life, I will never let go of your hand...Knowing that your future is absolutely assured can free you to live abundantly today." Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

Psalm 37:23-24 The steps of a man are established by the Lord; and He delight in His way. When he falls, he shall not be hurled headlong; because the Lord is the One who holds his hand.

*****

Jesus is there holding our hand at all times. We will fall, but He will hold on and help us up!

needs

"The world is a needy place; do not go there for sustenance. Instead, come to Me.Learn to depend on Me alone, and you weakness will become saturated with My power. When
you find your completeness in Me, you can help other people
without using them to meet your own needs."
Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control...

*****

Where do we go when we are in need? Do we turn to Jesus or do we try to do it ourselves or do we look to others? Jesus is the only one who can fulfill our need.
