Jesus is Priceless

| Jesus is calling you - He is priceless |
Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He
will give you. Until now you have
asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full
(John 16:23-24).
During the course of time men have gone to great lengths, both
legal and illegal, to obtain diamonds, gold, pearls, and money; yet all men die
and they cannot take a dime with them. The Pearl of Great Price, Jesus as King
of the Kingdom, never leaves us and we have Jesus forever. Jesus is utterly
priceless; more valuable than all the wealth in the entire world. This King in
His Kingdom is the source of true joy.
Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot
bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you
abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the
branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me
you can do nothing (John 15:4-5).
Do Not Worry: Trust Jesus
I will tell of the kindnesses
of the LORD,
the deeds for which he is to be praised,
according to all the LORD has done for us—
yes, the many good things…
according to his compassion and many kindnesses.
He said, “Surely they are my people,
children who will be true to me”;
and so he became their Savior.
In all their distress he too was distressed,
and the angel of his presence saved them.
In his love and mercy he redeemed them;
he lifted them up and carried them… (Isaiah 63:7-9).

Out of our selves, into Christ, we must go
(C.S. Lewis).
Believers should seek to see things from the
Lord’s perspective as we remind ourselves how much He has done for us, given
us, and provided for us. As we ponder the goodness of the Lord, our worries
will shrink.
The Lord Jesus is always good to His people. One
day I was walking down the street. It was almost 100 degrees outside: clear,
blue, and hot. It was a great day for a snow cone or some Gatorade. Then out of
the corner of my eye, I saw her. She must have been about seven years old. Just
a little daisy; her cheeks flushed as she was perspiring from the heat. She was
selling lemonade or Kool-Aid. But the beverage was not very cool for there
wasn’t any ice in the four cups that were sitting on the table in her unshaded
yard.
The few cups she had, looked, well, a little
used. She wasn’t wearing a happy-go-lucky child’s grin, but had a discouraged look
on her face from the heat and lack of customers. I said: “Hey little one—how’s
business?” “Not too good,” she replied. “How much for a cup?” “25 cents.” Then
I said, “I’ll take them all,” as I handed her a five dollar bill to keep.
As a result, she was jubilant. I was happy. And
it showed me a small picture of God’s care for His people.
So often we wrestle with worry as we temporarily
forget that Jesus cares for us. He really does. He comes along side and gives
and gives, and gives some more. He knows what you need and He will provide at
the right time. The lesson: Jesus will come. In the heat, sweat, and
discouragement, Jesus comes. He always does.
