You need Jesus. “If onlies” can become a barrier to Him. “If only my husband gave me more time and love.” “If only my teenagers were more obedient.” “If only I had more money.” “If only my dad understood me better.” Surrender your “if onlies.” They stand in the way. When you do surrender, you belong to the Lord, with all the “if onlies.” That is good!
The Spirit, however, produces in human life fruits such as these: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, generosity, fidelity, adaptability and self-control. . . . (Galatians 5:22 *Phillips)
Lord, teach us to rise above our petty problems, so that we may use all our talents to overcome the greater problems of the world.
