Why am I with Jesus?

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, you want to be with me because I fed you, not because you understood the miraculous signs.”
John 6:26

 

 

My Takeaways

Something Old

John 6:63

Human effort accomplishes nothing.

This is a great reminder to me today.

Something New

Why do I want to be with Jesus?

Will I leave Jesus when things are too hard to understand?

Believe by faith (Hebrews 11:1)

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Something to Do

Stay with Jesus no matter what.

  1. Wendy,
    “Why am I with Jesus”? The Holy Spirit wanted you to ask this question! For years I was with him because I grew up in a home where my Maw Maw lived for Jesus and I thought that I should too. As a young adult I just continued with my family tradition of “going to church”. As a young Mom I was with Jesus for my children and as a mom of young adults I was with him because of my storms and struggles with my youngest son. And now this is truly the Spirit asking why are you with me? Prayers are still unanswered and I still have trouble with my younger son. Am I going to walk away? NO!
    I don’t understand it all and yes I still have unanswered prayers but my heart believes the Jesus chose me the day he created me.
    Something to do
    Don’t walk away because I don’t understand! Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance and understanding.

  2. Am I going to stay with Jesus? ABSOLUTELY YES!
    ….WHY?
    God has a plan for my life! Even though I/we are going through storms and have been for two years, God IS IN CONTROL! I released our situation to Him in this last month, as we are on a dead end and I/we have no place and no way to humanly work out our situation!! In almost twenty years of business, we cannot work out our business issues ourselves, for the first time ever!! We are at the end of ourselves totally….PTL!
    I HAVE BEEN FREED FROM THE STORM AND SITUATION AND NOW GOD HAS THE CONTROL AND PRAISE HIS NAME, WHATEVER HAPPENS IS FOR MY/OUR GOOD AND HIS HONOR AND GLORY!!
    Through these storms, God has worked out miracles in individual’s lives. I praise God for walking with us and for going through them.

    Thank you Wendy for your question!

  3. Why am I with Jesus. So I can have hope for eternal life.. And because I am weak,, so that He can be my strength.

    will I leave when things get hard? To echo the words of Peter. Where would I go, He has the words of eternal life.

  4. I was challenged in the reading today about searching for Jesus and where he’s at but also to be searching for Him for the right reason. Not just looking for Him when I need something but desiring to be near Him all the time to serve and glorify Him.

    The Isaiah passage that Jesus quoted challenged me also. Am I giving God lip service while my heart is far from him? I don’t want my worship to be a farce. I want to be sure what I’m teaching and sharing with others is Gods Word not my own ideas.
