What We Have In Jesus

Sadly, we don't always appreciate what we have in Jesus. In fact, we spend a lot of time asking for things He has already given us.

We pray for love when God says that His love is "shed abroad in our hearts" (Rom. 5:5).

We pray for peace when Jesus has already said, "Peace I leave with you . . . (John 14:27).

We pray for joy when the Bible tells us plainly that we have "joy unspeakable and full of glory" (1 Pet. 1:8 ).

We pray for strength to do the things God has called us to do when He already told us that we can "do all things through Christ which strengtheneth us" (Phil. 4:13).

We Worry over our needs when The Lord has already promised to meet them (Phil 4:19).

We seek His presence when He has said, "I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." (Heb. 13:5).

2 Peter 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.
