Letting Jesus make up the difference

Jesus what can I say to you that you don't already know?

First, I want to tell you what I'm taking part in with Ann & Holley (and some other lady bloggers).  We're calling ourselves "Word Girls."

Each Tuesday each of us Word Girls are linking up to Ann's blog: a holy experience and sharing our series of letters about loving you with our words.

So dear Lord, how do I love you?

INSTANTLY sadness befalls my heart.  My heart knows that I don't love you like I should.

BUT ...

You love me—even still.

The next question that comes to mind is ...

Do people see your love displayed through me?

Not often enough.

Last week Holley's letter to Ann was titled: "Why You and Your Words are More than Enough."

I've been thinking about that—pondering on the truth of that statement.  Is it true Lord?  Are me and my words enough?

It is true.  "Just offer what you have.  I will make up the difference."  That's what Holley wrote.

Oh Father, how she has uplifted me with those words.  She has reminded me... .  I know them too well.  You said that to me so many times; yet, I still forget.

I don't always approach each life situation in that manner either Holley.  I'm still learning.  Growing.

And today?

Today He is still telling me ... teaching me to offer all that I am to Him, and to let Him make up the difference—just as He has told so many who came before us.








Just offer myself to Him.  Just offer yourself to Him—that's all we gotta do.

Thank you beloved Holley for reminding me to "Just offer myself to Him."

Just offer yourself to Him, that's all you have to do, and let Him make up the difference!
