Have you noticed?
Jesus is here,
Jesus is there,
Jesus is everywhere.

I woke up with this thought in my mind and heart this morning. “Christianity isn’t about a religious organization. It’s about daily surrendering to and being led by the living Jesus.”

God wants people to daily follow and obey the risen Jesus, not just to be a good member of a religious organization. He uses painful circumstances (that He doesn’t cause) to bring us to the point of brokenness and surrender to His presence and to His will. In addiction recovery that is called “hitting bottom.” When we are desperate and have nowhere else to turn, we are most willing to open up to the risen Jesus and let Him take full control of our life.

Notice Jesus now, right where you are! Why wait until you have tried everything else and are full of despair? Breathe in the air of Christ’s presence now. Refuse to let Jesus go unnoticed, unobserved, and unfollowed in your life.
