The Wise Words of Jesus (and why I need them so much) – part 7

John 6:37:
However, those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them.
What a relief those words are.  We can go to Jesus at any time, in any state, even with doubt, fear, sin - anything – and Jesus will never reject us.  We might feel guilty and keep away, but [...]

Directions

The Wise Words of Jesus (and why I need them so much) – part 6

Mark 10:15

The Wise Words of Jesus (and why I need them so much) – part 5

John 4:13
“Those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”
That fresh, bubbling spring is my lifeline.  Some days when I feel tired and worn and dry and dusty I wonder what I’d do without it.  It soaks my soul and grows [...]
