Thankful I have Jesus, My Everything
by Janice Parrish
Always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 5:20 NIV
I am thankful I have everything... I have everything, because I have Jesus, and when you have Jesus you have everything! Even during the times when I'm seemingly down to nothing I still have everything, because I have Jesus. He's everything I need and more! Putting it simply, Jesus is my everything! He's my best friend! "LORD, ... You are everything I need in this life." Psalm 142:5 NIRV
I am thankful for who I am in Jesus. I am content in knowing that I am His and He is mine. Money cannot buy what I have with Him. I have a faith that is steadfast and strong, a faith that no one can take from me. Faith is what holds me together. "You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought. It’s healthy to be content." Matthew 5:5 MSG, Proverbs 14:30a CEV
Jesus is my confidence. I live in victory, because of Jesus. I trust Him for everything in my life. Jesus is my confidant. I can share with Him the most intimate details of my life. I can trust Him with everything, because He knows everything there is to know about me. My confidence is in Him knowing that His Word to me is true. He will never let me down. "O Almighty LORD. You have been my confidence ever since I was young. Blessed is the one who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him." Psalm 71:5b GW, Jeremiah 17:7 NIV
Proverbs 3:26a NASB says, "The LORD will be your confidence." Your life counts counts for much with the Lord. With Him as your confidence your life can make a difference touching the hearts and lives of others.
I am thankful for Jesus' acceptance and unconditional love for me. He loves me at all times, regardless! Loving Jesus comes so easy. He's what love is all about. "Jesus loves us. I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us." Romans 8:37b-38a, 39b MSG
My hope is in Jesus. Without Jesus I would be without hope in this world. He makes my life worth living, giving me the strength to go on. Jesus is the Word and His word gives hope even when there is no hope. I am thankful for the hope that I have in his Word. "Your strength to continue comes from your hope in our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Thessalonians 1:3b NIRV
I am thankful that I am never alone, because I have Jesus. I can count on Him to always be there for me no matter what! Jesus never disappoints! He always gives his best to me. He has my heart. Nobody is worth coming between me and my Jesus! He's all that really matters in this life!
Make Jesus your everything and... "Enjoy the best of Jesus!" Romans 16:20b MSG
