On staying AFLOAT

 

John 3:5

King James Version

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.


How to stay afloat?

How to overcome challenges?

How to have peace?

SURRENDER to JESUS.

BELIEVE in JESUS.

TRUST JESUS.

That's how.

JESUS is the only reason for existence.

JESUS is the only reason to work.

JESUS is the only reason to live.

He gives us power to do so.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.


He is the bread of life.

The living waters.

He is our source for nourishment.

The world doesn't love us.

Why else the cut-throat competition?

Why else the non-stop struggle to keep afloat?

Why else the cruelty among men?

How to overcome suffering and inequality?

Believe in JESUS.

Know that He loves you.

Why else did He give His life for you?

He will keep you afloat, through all challenges.

Our suffering on earth, is temporary.

Romans 8:18

King James Version

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time 

are not worthy to be compared 

with the glory which shall be revealed in us.


JESUS has overcome the world, just so you know:

John 16:33

King James Version

33 These things I have spoken unto you, 

that in me ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation: 

but be of good cheer; 

I have overcome the world.


I dreamt about GOD once.

He showed up as "warm sea foam".

A soothing, warm sea foam.

And that was before He made me born again.

Now that I'm born again?

He led me to His Son.

He turned me to Scripture.

Now, I know past, present, and future.

My heart is at peace.

SPIRIT tells me everything I need to know.

He explains Scripture to me.

In a way I can understand easily.

He helps me piece the puzzle together.

Now, it's whole.
