Jesus Calling - Sarah Young
INTRODUCTION
When we come to Jesus with a thankful heart, we can set aside worries and enjoy His presence. This grateful attitude helps us focus on our blessings and look for the miracles Jesus weaves into our lives.
Through gratitude, the Word of Christ can live in us (Colossians 3:16). This is important because the Bible is the only perfect Word of God—without errors. As you spend time in the Word and in this devotional, be assured that I work hard to keep my writings consistent with the unchanging truths of Scripture.
I have written from the perspective of Jesus speaking, to help readers feel more personally connected with Him. So the first person singular (I,
Me,
My,
Mine
) always refers to Jesus; you
refers to you, the reader. I’ve included Scripture references after each reading. Words from the Bible (some paraphrased, some quoted) are written in italics.
Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus
(1 Thessalonians 5:18).
I LOVE THAT!
It is not possible to thank Me too much. I love your praises. Sometimes your praise is an unplanned, in-the-moment, you-just-can’t-help-yourself sort of thing. Perhaps you have just received one of My blessings or have been overwhelmed by the beauty of My creation, and you are just bursting to tell Me about it. I love that!
Other times, you stop to think about My blessings, about My Presence in your life. And you decide to thank Me. I love that kind of praise too.
When you are struggling with a problem, pray about it. Then go ahead and thank Me for the help you know I will give you. This kind of praise means you know I am in control—and I love that!
Fill up the spare moments of your life with praise, and you will find that your life is filled with Me.
PSALM 22:3; PSALM 146:1–2
Give THANKS whatever happens. That is what God WANTS for you in Christ Jesus.
—1 THESSALONIANS 5:18 (ICB)
EXPECT SURPRISES!
Try to see each day as an adventure, planned out by Me, your Guide. Instead of trying to make your day into what you want it to be, open your eyes to all the things I have prepared just for you. Each day is My precious gift to you—and you only have one chance to live it. Trust that I am with you every minute, working in your life. And then thank Me for this day—no matter what
