Let's Be Saints!

“Remain in my love.” You can stay busy around Jesus…and still not stay with Him. Are you abiding—or just visiting?

“You are not of the world.” So why are you still asking the world to tell you who you are…or what your life is for?

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.” Jesus doesn’t promise comfort—He promises Himself. So why are you still looking everywhere else for peace?

“Father, love them through me.” Every father, every priest, every Christian loves others with the love they first receive from God. Are you letting Him love you first?

"I'm going to be with Jesus." What if your whole life—your ministry, your family, your vocation—became fruitful because you finally chose to become His disciple?

"Do I have an awareness of what God is doing?" You track everything else—why not Him? Look again…can you testify to where He’s moving in your life?

"Are you listening to you or are you listening to him?" Obedience begins in listening—turn from idols and hear the One who speaks life, peace, and freedom.

Does the Word of God have space to live in you—or is your life too full? He’s not a what…He’s a who. “Show us the Father.” Will you finally let Jesus introduce you?

“We would rather be comfortable than great.” Is that you? What are you avoiding that God is asking you to give your life to? Work won’t save you—only Jesus will.

“I know those whom I have chosen.” He knows you—and still sends you. So why do you keep doubting…or rejecting the ones He sends to you?

Is your life about you—or about Him? The Holy Spirit can’t fill a heart already full…what needs to be emptied?

You were worth His life—then and now. Will you finally believe Him?

“I have come that they might have life…abundantly.” Why are you still stepping over the Gate and going your own way?

“Saul, why are you persecuting me?” Do you see Jesus in you—in His Church—even in your mess…or are you still blind? You are not alone—He lives in you. So why do you keep living like He doesn’t?

“Everyone who listens to my Father and learns from him comes to me.” Do you actually listen—or just talk when you pray?

Jesus loses nothing that is given to Him. So why are you still holding back—your heart, your future, your life?

“I am the bread of life.” He doesn’t just want to do things for you—He wants to change you. Will you let Him…even in how you see your enemies?

“He has not come to make you wealthy…He has come to make you holy.” Are you a fan of Jesus—or are you actually following Him?

“Awe came upon everyone.” Thomas is a great model of honest prayer. Jesus met Thomas’ honesty with His own. This brought Thomas to live an awe-filled life. He wants the same for you.

My heart becomes anxious and fearful; it becomes troubled when I am distracted or forgetful. So He places His heart close to mine. “A prophet like me will come…to him you must listen.”

“Rejoice, O hearts that seek the Lord.” It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness. Who/what are you looking for?

Have you ever been cut to the heart? Is your heart free enough to be able to be “cut?” Jesus is present in the “cutting” of our hearts!

The Lion of the Tribe of Judah has roared! Life and love have won. Can you hear the call of love, the invitation of the Great King? Every “yes” to Him is a miracle, but the greatest miracle is His “yes” to you.

Love is crying out to you. Can you hear Him?

The highest expression of my reason is what I choose to worship with my life. There is nothing more reasonable, honest, or powerful to worship than Love.
