I Saved it ALL for YOU, Jesus!
To Seth, Peter, Jessica, Rebekah, Tyler, Kaylie and Renee: This is something I've been thinking about for a couple of weeks. I started working on it after we sang a song together, "Let's exalt His name together." We talked about the words to the song for the children especially. It made me think of what it means for those who are on a journey towards Jesus to fully save themselves for Him to come and live inside of them one day. It made me think of you guys specifically :-) The last verse of that song is very practical: Come children now and listen, if you would see long life, just keep your lips from wickedness and lies. Do good and turn from evil, seek peace instead of strife. Love righteousness and God will hear your cry. So I'm hoping you guys will take this picture i painted as an encouragement to give your heart to Jesus alone. Not to the empty stuff the world offers. Fun times, toys and things. Money, relationships, easy times as opposed to hard work or whatever else. Learn to love what He loves and hate what He hates. The words of the song we sang are some ways to do just that! Your heart will never be full and free and happy unless it's completely filled with Jesus. :-) And besides, He made you for Himself and He just fully deserves all of us! Love, J

All Heaven Rejoices. I know it's not much, but I've saved it all just for You!
