Invite

      Is something lacking in your life?  If you are feeling an emptiness that never seems to be filled, then maybe you are trying to fill up on the wrong things.  Material possessions may provide temporary pleasure, but they don't enrich your spirit.  Experiences may be fun for a while but after they are over they are only memories that eventually fade.  What is the lasting fulfillment that stays with you always?

      Sometimes in the evening I don't feel like cooking and I eat a bowl of cereal for dinner.  I'm full for a while, but later in the middle of the night I might wake up feeling hungry.  That hunger may cause me to toss and turn, unable to sleep.  Maybe I'll get up and have a snack.  That may help for a while, but no matter what I'll still get hungry again later.  If only I could eat a meal that would fill me for the rest of my life.

      You may have heard that Jesus is the Bread of Life.  That He provides Living Water.  In other words Jesus is all you need for spiritual survival.  The diet of the Bread of Life and the Living Water will fill you up and satisfy the spiritual emptiness you may feel.  However, Jesus is not going to force feed you.  The dinner is on the table but you must come willingly to partake of it.

      Jesus is ready to accept your invitation to come into your life and guide you through your tough times.  He will provide you comfort when you need it.  He will instill you with strength to face the adversity you encounter.  He will show you the way to truth and wisdom.  Jesus is there when you want to answer His call.

       Don't delay.  You've been invited to a heavenly celebration, but first you have to invite Jesus into your house to stay until the gates to Heaven have been opened.

      Someone is knocking at your door.   Are you ready to invite Jesus into your life?

  1. Money and possessions are not the important things in life, an inner peace of mind is something we should all strive for.
    Enjoyed the read.
    Have a good day Lee.

  2. Thought-inspiring post. An invitation to heavenly celebration comes with some responsibilities here on Earth.

  3. "Jesus is not going to force feed you. The dinner is on the table for you to partake." Beautiful words. I can only hope more people accept Jesus' invitation willingly.
