Good Morning!

I am the Good Shepherd, and I know [without any doubt those who are] My own and My own know Me [and have a deep, personal relationship with Me]— even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father—and I lay down My [very own] life [sacrificing it] for the benefit of the sheep.  -John 10:14-15 AMP

When we are in close relationship with Jesus, He knows us and we know Him, it says even as the Father knows Jesus and Jesus knows the Father. We can be one with Jesus when we pursue close relationship with Him and when we are one with Jesus is when we are living life to the absolute fullest with the most fulfillment. We all long fulfillment if we don’t have it and the only place we will truly find fulfillment is in Jesus. The enemy is always trying to convince us that we can find it in other things and will try every tactic to try and keep us distracted from true relationship with Jesus. Stay the course with Jesus, keep pursuing Him, contrary to what the world or the enemy wants you to think, it will never get boring and will never be less than. He has a special plan and purpose made specifically for you but you will only find that purpose by pursuing Him fully.

“Your relationship with Jesus will set the tone for every other relationship in your life. Fix your eyes on Him and watch how it changes things.”

“The closer you get to God the more you will be able to understand the things of God.”

Dad Joke of the Day:

Tucked my kids in bed and said, “I’ll see you in the morning!” Then we laughed and laughed and saw each other 16 more times before sunrise.

Have a great Monday!
