Jesus knows your heart
August 12, 2010
"For wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
--Luke 12:34
Jesus has a way of getting right to the heart of our issues, doesn't he?
Think about the New Testament story when the rich young ruler asked Jesus how to find eternal life. Jesus told him, "Sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven."
Jesus knew exactly what was standing in this young man's way of following him—his wealth and possessions. But the man rejected Jesus' invitation.
You see, there was a limit to the man's interest in Jesus and Kingdom things. If it meant losing all his wealth, he didn't want to follow Jesus that much. In reality, he was an idolater; he loved his gold more than he loved God. He loved his possessions more than people because we learn that he wasn't willing to get rid of his things in order to help the poor.
Is there anything standing between you and eternity with Jesus? Maybe you don't have an issue with money, but maybe you're clinging to a sinful pleasure, a lifestyle, a behavior, or an attitude. Each of these things, and many others, can keep you and I from following Jesus... but not if we repent, turn from our selfishness, and follow Jesus.
Let Jesus get to the heart of your issue and give you a new life.

Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out
Dear Friend,
Do the words rested... peaceful... and refreshed describe you today? Or do the words stressed... rushed... and pressured better describe your way of life?
If you're like most Christians, you'd probably have to admit those last three words more accurately describe your life most of the time!
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way... even when your life is one big pressure-cooker. And in my new book, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out, I'll show you why.
Based on the principles from Paul's letter to the Philippians and Psalm 23, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out will help you find true peace and rest in a world that is anything but peaceful and restful. It's the perfect "pause" button you need!
So please request your copy of Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out when you give online today! --Jack Graham
