THE TIME TO START=IS NOW!
Do you look to
PUT OFF doing good?
Sometimes we have a
STRONG SENSE
Of what or where
The Lord is MOVING IN US=
But we =put it off
GET ON into your relationship
With God=
Get into your RELATIONSHIP
With Jesus
DON'T put it off=
THE TIME to start
IS NOW!
“Another of his disciples
Said to him
'Lord-let me go first
And bury my Father'
But Jesus answered him
'FOLLOW ME=and let the dead
Bury the dead'” Matthew 8:21-22
There is NEVER a reason
To put off GOOD=
To put off
What we should be doing
But we NEED to follow God
And we need to follow him
RIGHT NOW!
“Moses summoned all Israel
And said=
Hear-Israel=
The decrees and laws=
I declare
In your hearing today
Learn them=and be sure
TO FOLLOW THEM” Deuteronomy 5:1
“Surely your goodness and love
WILL FOLLOW ME
All the days
Of my life
And I will dwell
In the house
Of the Lord forever” Psalm 23:6
“Then Jesus said
To his disciples=
'Whoever wants
To be my disciple
Must deny themselves
And take up their cross
AND FOLLOW ME” Matthew 16:24
IF you want to be a
FOLLOWER of God=
A follower of Jesus=
THE TIME TO START
IS RIGHT NOW!
Discipleship can be DEMANDING=
It can mean giving up
An object or activity
That brings us COMFORT
It can mean
TURNING AWAY from temptation
It can mean
GIVING AWAY a
Piece of ourselves
To help someone else
WHEN it comes to
FOLLOWING God and Jesus
The time to start
Is always RIGHT NOW!
You don't have to
Make the whole JOURNEY
Right now=just start out
In the right direction
With a few BABY STEPS
LEAD US lord=we will FOLLOW!
In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our FOREVER LEADING FATHER!
