“I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” —Jesus
As Apprentices of Jesus, Our Goal is to live and love in the Way that Jesus lived and loved.
They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.” John 2:8-10
Jesus saw what others didn’t have time to see.
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. Luke 19:1-2
Jesus pursued what others thought was pointless!
Complaining today about moments you’ll miss tomorrow.
Don’t miss what you HAVE NOW pursuing what you WANT LATER.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Matt 6:34
Surrender the past you can’t change.
Trust God with a future you can’t control.
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— 14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. James 4:13-14 ESV (Mist)
This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 NLT (David)
