Jesus. Family. Tacos. Story ๐ป๐
In making this design I was very challenged by a sister in Christ. At first, I thought how fun, I love Jesus, my family and absoultely love tacos. In doing so, Jesus was really using this design to get grip of my heart. During this season my aunt had passed and went home to be with the Lord. I remember battling with so many emotions. The Lord gently used this design to meet me and confront me with my true feelings of my relationship with Him. Do I love him above all?
The Lord used this design in a gentle way to remind me of so many things, and one of them was to set my priorities in order, and to never loose sight that Him alone should always be my #1. The thoughts that crossed my mind was to love HIM above all, love others, and give people His Word. I kept thinking How God is a God of order and if we seek Him first, everything else falls into place (Matthew 6:33). Iโve learned that our priorities have to change the minute we follow Jesus. Instead of reaching out for food Iโve learned to sit before my master. Inviting Him on the daily to feed myself spiritually to carry a healthy spiritual life. Then the questioning came to mind...
Why is it when we find ourselves in a place of brokenness, we run to someone, to food, or you fill in the blank to whatever it is that comfortโs and satisfies your flesh. Jesus says that in HIM we will never HUNGER, โI am the bread of life; those who come to me will not hunger, and those who Believe will never thirst againโ(John 6:35).
As mother, we have moments, we began to worry about our family. We become disorganized and forget that we were called to live simple lives . Yes! we start doing things out of order and life becomes disorganized. When all we need to do is Trust in the Lord. (Proverbs 3:5-6)
In the following scriptures, (John 21:15-19) Jesus confronted Peter three times about his love for him. Peterโs heart was checked, and so was mine. I write this in tears, because itโs so easy to say we love the Lord and not commit to His plans. During this season God was tugging at my hear to leave everything behind for HIM, Instead, we hold on to the most familiar, and common places, Even fishing in the same places of life, living in doubt, wavering in the what if, and allowing Fear to grip our hearts.Iโve learned that being honest with our Master gives HIM room to work in our lives. Christ needs to come first and He is the greatest love of all. I say this confidently a year later, taking a step of faith in Jesus He will never disappoint you.
I pray you allow Him to search your heart, deal with your brokenness, hurts, and pains.
Take the step of Faith to move forward in His Grace, Love and Mercy.
(John 21:15-19)
This is the inspiration behind JESUS. FAMILY. TACOS.
