Life with Jesus Is Everything!

Life is a never- ending road that is constantly swerving and turning with trials, temptations and hard times. When I was reading" Violet's Amazing Summer" by Martha Finley, I was inspired by this section of the book. Violet was in a conversation with her dear Aunt Wealthy, who she visits in the story, when her aunt plainly and truthfully  stated" Life is not a tea- party, my dear: it is an adventure, and one that is often hard at times, but we have our heavenly father to guide us and to be with us." This was such an encouragement to me and one of those things you read in a  book that you never  forget. Life is hard, but when we have Jesus beside us he is all we need. His presence is like no one else's. If we ask Jesus to open the eyes of our heart, we will see him. He will give us peace and joy that is like no other; because, fake peace and joy will not help us in hard, sometimes unbearable circumstances. IT will only last when we are doing something fun.Jesus's peace and joy do.  Because No matter what is happening to us we are content in the assurance that Jesus is right beside us, holding our hand, guiding us and helping us. We will make mistakes and we will stumble,; but he will forgive us, he is merciful and loving despite our mistakes and he is always there to pick us up and to give us strength to overcome sin and our weaknesses; and this assurance will lead us on to great heights of joy and peace and he can do great things through us to glorify his name; if we will only believe.  Because life is not about fun, it is about Jesus. I am very bad about this, I am constantly forgetting that life is not about fun, I have to constantly ask Jesus to help me remember the true purpose in life is him, living for him, wholeheartly serving, obeying, and loving him and not to waste my time here on earth always looking forward to fun events and forgetting to treasure the moment and spend my time getting to know my creator.  It is okay to do other things; for example you of course have to do your job, go to school and it is okay to enjoy entertainments like movies, music, reading a book, but your main thing, YOUR ONLY REALLY IMPORTANT THING Is Jesus and the majority of your free, leisure time is spent on him. Because every day is a fun day, a weekend, a Friday, A Saturday, a Sunday, when Jesus is with us.
