You are not an accident and your life should not be lived by accident! You were created on purpose and for a purpose!  And Jesus came, walked upon this earth, died on the cross, was resurrected from the grave and is seated in Heaven for a purpose!

Life is about so much more than just going through the motions. Jesus steps into your life and invites you to step into His life, so that He might take you somewhere!  The goal of Jesus is to help you BECOME!  Jesus wants to help you become all that God created you to become.

When Jesus invites you to get into relationship and follow Him, it is with the intention to “make” you into the something that God created you to be.  You follow and Jesus will make!  That really takes the pressure off!  I don’t have to make myself into anything.  I just simply have to follow Jesus!  Step by step, day by day and life situation to situation.  As I follow Him – He will make me into something special!

What are you going to be? As you live you life, day in and day out – what are you becoming?  When we really start to follow – God will use us to help others to follow.  As we allow Him to make a difference in our lives – He will us our lives to make a difference in others!  We get to participate in the supernatural!

Are you accomplishing the supernatural? You could be!  You should be!  You just have to take the time to follow Him and He will make you into what you need to be and help you to do whatever it is that you have been created to do!  You are important and you do matter.  God has an amazing plan for your life!  Don’t miss it!

Every person matters to Jesus! He wants everyone to come into a life changing relationship with Him.  Jesus wants everyone to come and be a part.  This is why He invites us.  Jesus says “Follow Me!”  He will not force Himself into a relationship with us – the choice is ours to make!  He offers the invitation to follow and we decide if we will.

Life with Jesus is much simpler than most make it! He leads and we follow!  Here’s the good news:  You don’t have to figure out the way!  Just follow! It is in the process of following that Jesus makes us into the something that God created each one of us to be.

There is one thing that is very important for you to understand:  Following Jesus is not cheap! It is going to cost you something.  When Jesus called the Disciples to follow Him, the Scripture teaches that each one left what they were doing to follow!  You will have to let something go, leave something behind, so that you can follow!

You’ve been thinking about following for a long time. You love Jesus and you even say that you are a Christian, but are you following Him?  You know that there has to be more than what you are experiencing, but keep asking yourself:  “How do I get there?”  You will have to leave something behind!  What is it that is holding you back and keeping you down?  What is it that you need to let go of and walk away from so that you can walk after Jesus?  Let’s all get honest and get free!

God is interested in You! I’ve been reading and studying my way through the book of Matthew, specifically focusing on the life of Jesus and I can’t help but notice that Jesus was and is really into people!  He walked into their lives and He talked into their lives and He made a difference in their lives!

God is interested in the ordinary! Another thing that I noticed is that Jesus is interested in the ordinary!  Most of the time we see Him investing most of His time and energy with ordinary people!  Jesus will use the ordinary in extraordinary ways to bring glory to the Father!  We don’t have to be flashy to have the attention of God, just faithful!

God wants you to be fulfilled! I know – it may be hard for you to believe, but God really is interested in you and your life.  He wants you to succeed, be happy and experience fulfillment.  We tend to get in the way of His plans to bless us with our own manipulated and messed up schemes!  Just get out of His way and let Him work on, in and through your life!

You matter to God! God cares about what is going on in your life!  I want to encourage you to take a little time today and all through out this week to talk and listen to Him!  Really seek to discover the truth and experience the reality of how much He cares for you!
