Being present with Jesus

When we remember, not just in passing but really remember and think about all that Jesus has done for us we should be humbled. It is in the pausing in our daily lives and remembering the deep love and patience that Jesus has given to us in His life, in the miracles and healings, how He cared for people in need, especially when He laid down His life and took on our sins in an act of divine love to bring us closer.

It is in pausing that we have time to really be present with ourselves and the problems that we face but also confronting these problems with the grace and strength of Jesus. When we are present with Jesus, we start to appreciate the love that Jesus has for all of us and how much He wants us to thrive and grow but we thrive and grow the best when we follow the one who gives us life. It is in pausing and being present with Jesus that we can fully appreciate the life that Jesus is offering to us and being present with us everyday.
