Flu shot

Every fall people can get flu shots. People get the flu shots to prevent themselves from getting the flu because they believe the flu is bad. When you get a flu shot you are actually being injected with the flu virus but in a small amount and your body learns to fight it and acknowledges it as bad. You are getting the flu in a small dosage. Some people do the same thing with Jesus. They take Jesus in in small doses. They don't ever have too much Jesus. They only take Him in at church or in front of their parents or at certain times. Now like the flu shot taking Jesus in a small amount and not letting Him take over and have your full heart is making you immune to Jesus. You feel Him less and less. And when He is there you can't feel Him because you have made yourself immune and not actually feeling anything when He is there. You have trained your soul to not react or get excited about Jesus and you compartmentalize Him. You become an actor and not a follower of Jesus. Jesus is today not tomorrow, not when I get this raise, not when that relationship is perfect, not when you get good grades. And also not when you need Him to get better grades and then leaving Him when your grades are good. Jesus is saying I am content today the way my life is and this is where you have me. Where you go I will go, where you stay I will stay, when you move I will move. It's all about God! It's not about us! We don't know if we will be here tomorrow or in another country or face to face with our almighty God. 

We are supposed to consume Jesus to the fullest and embrace Him and never ever let go but squeezing for more and more. Because there is always more of God for us to find. God is out consuming fire! Don't shut Jesus out but open the door and show the door to everyone! 

Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back tomorrow and I’ll give it to you”— when you already have it with you. (Proverbs 3:28 NIV). 

Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them. (James 4:13-17 NIV). 

“Show me, Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting my life is. You have made my days a mere handbreadth; the span of my years is as nothing before you. Everyone is but a breath, even those who seem secure. (Psalm 39:4, 5 NIV). 

Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. (Luke 9:23 NIV). 

As Easter approaches it is very important to take up our cross each and every single day!! Never letting go of Jesus and His amazing power!! Praise You Lord!
