Following Jesus / HTX

When it comes to eternity, until you die you live.

“I’ve learned that suffering doesn’t destroy faith, it refines it. And God is worth trusting, even when we can’t see” -Melissa Camp

[sean @seanrubico]

Life is like a race track and I’m the car, the engine that keeps me going is Jesus. God tells us to keep fighting the good fight and finish the race, cause at the finish line is when I receive the eternal prize. Hold on to the life that continues forever.

[sean @seanrubico]

As Christians we’re not of this world, but we’re still apart of it, so God call’s us to LIVE.

[sean @seanrubico]

Sometimes we need to put our hands back, and stop trying to fix the puzzle pieces in our lives, and let God rearrange the pieces.

[sean @seanrubico]

It’s not “I can because of Jesus”, it’s “THROUGH Jesus I can”.

[sean @seanrubico]

God is infinitely vast. His patients towards us is forbearing, His mercy and forgiveness is unlimited, His love for us is unconditional and truth, His plan is unpredictable, His goodness is prime, and His words are living. God let your will be done, not mine! Praise the LORD.

[sean @seanrubico]

Process the season with your heart. Heart work is soul work. Allow God to work in your heart. The truth is that if you do not allow Him to work in your heart, you will stuff it with anxiety. Eventually all that stress will leak and affect the relationships around you.

[sean @seanrubico]

Jesus rescues minds and renews life! God sent Jesus to rescue you in salvation and grow in your faith. Anxiety is an opportunity for spiritual growth. We grow when we trust Jesus who is our anchor and foundation.

[sean @seanrubico]

Let’s take anxiety as an opportunity to grow our faith, so that we can rise up, minister to others, and walk in strength in Him. The strength is NOT your will power, but God’s power through you.

Joshua 24:15 -

“But if you don’t want to serve the Lord, you must choose for yourselves today whom you will serve. As for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.”

[sean @seanrubico]

Galatians 5:13 -

“My brothers and sisters, God called you to be free, but do not use your freedom as an excuse to do what pleases your sinful self. Serve each other with love.”

[sean @seanrubico]

Proverbs 16:9 -

“People may make plans in their minds, but the Lord decides what they will do.”

[sean @seanrubico]

Yet people choose to not believe in God, yet they don’t even know where the gift of choosing comes from...

[sean @seanrubico]

Luke 6:27 -

“But I say to you who are listening, love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you”

[sean @seanrubico]

Matthew 5:46-47 -

“If you love only the people who love you, you will get no reward. Even the tax collectors do that. And if you are nice only to your friends, you are no better than other people. Even those who don’t know God are nice to their friends.”

[sean @seanrubico]

Loving God is more than vague attraction or generic gratitude. It is recognizing and relishing the compelling beauty of Jesus. We cannot love Jesus in our fallen human nature. We need God to give us a new heart, new preferences, and new desires to see and treasure Jesus.

[sean @seanrubico]

As Christians, we have to stop looking from worldly viewpoints and start looking from CHRIST VIEWPOINTS.

[sean @seanrubico]

You can’t just love the people who love you, you have to love the people who do you wrong as well. That’s what makes us different, and that’s called THE LOVE OF JESUS.

[sean @seanrubico]

Galatians 5:1 -

“So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.”
