Picturing myself in that crowd, I’ll follow Him wherever He goes. Not just for the spectacle of it, but for the sheer awe and amazement on what He can do.  He’s fully aware of His power, yet, He’s humble about it and insists no one talks about it.

If I were Jesus, I would just go around and heal people everywhere, not worrying about the crowd, and not worrying about my status as a “miracle worker”.

But Jesus had a bigger plan. He was not in this world to become a rock star. He was here to show us that having faith in God is the miracle in itself.

Ultimately, He was here to save us all, through faith in Him.

I picture myself as one of the disciples, panicking over the turbulence of my life. I see difficulty, and I will get that panic attack.  I will get that unsettling feeling that something needs to be done.

I will try to fix it myself.

But, as a believer of Christ, I don’t try to fix it by myself. I don’t question God’s will.  I must have faith that God will do something. I must know the storms in my life are temporary. I know God is there to help me.

My soul follows close behind You; Your right hand upholds me.

Psalm 68:3

Often I depend on my own strength and smarts to get by in this world. The truth is I’m scared to make a mistake and falls flat on my face.

Bit, I’m comforted to be God’s friend for He always catches me when I fall. He will be there to hold me.

I thank you, Lord, for your protection and hands in my life! Amen.

This world is a temporary assignment.  Therefore, all of my troubles in this world is temporary.  I look forward to heaven when I’ll be with Jesus, for that is my true reward and troubles will be no more.

He is able to do immeasurably more than all I ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within me. (Ephesians 3:20)

I’ve always wondered where I get the strength to go on in this cruel world. There were days how I could ever survived school.  There were days how I could ever fix my failed relationships.  There were days when I thought about giving up.

I still think of what will happen to me when I die.

But, thank God almighty for saving my life in this world.  Thank God for the promise of heaven, the resurrection of the body, and eternal life with my beloved fellow Christians.

Jesus is where I draw my strength from.  I can go on with life because God gave me a reason to live!

He is able to keep me from falling. (Jude 1:24)

Greater is he that is in me, than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4)

Jesus is my Lord and Savior.  He saved me from sin. When I trip and fall, He catches me and sets me back up again.  I’m striving to be like Jesus, who is blameless, and separate myself from the ways of this world.

God is faithful. He will not let me be tempted beyond what I can bear. (1 Corinthians 10:13)

These are my reassurances. I hold on to the promise that Jesus will give me the strength to handle all of my problems.  Also, He promised I can handle the temptations that he allowed me to endure, and He’ll be there to help me.  The same principle of parenting I’m teaching my child, God is working through the same molding process with me.

I am being transformed into Christ’s likeness with ever increasing glory. (2 Corinthians 3:18)

When Jesus saved me, I am being transformed into His likeness. I am becoming holy. Not only in my spirit and mind, but also my body.  God will resurrect my body when I die, so I won’t abuse it.  I need to take care of this one while I’m on this earth, so I may serve Him well.

The Word of God is at work in me. (1 Thessalonians 2:13)

When I follow Jesus, I love myself less, and love God more. I am changing my life to become more like His: blameless, patient, loving, holy.  I use the scripture to make that transformation happen.  I become like Jesus to glorify His name, for He is good and worthy to be praised.
