As I began my devotional time this morning the devotion was titled, “It’s in the Attachment”. As I was reading it I thought it is a perfect follow-up to our pastor’s sermon last Sunday. The attachment is us being attached to the vine–Jesus. We are the branches. There is a line in the writing which I want to include today. It is: “You don’t have to work it up or strive to perform good works on God’s behalf. Instead, you trust the Lord to bring to you the people He wants you to minister to and to poor His power and wisdom through you into their lives.” The closing line of the writing is: “Jesus, help me to be so attached to You that when people look at me they see only You.”

God is reaching out to you and me to complete His Kingdom work that He created us to do. For years I tried to do this on my own strength only to fall short time and again. My biggest failure was not understanding how to let go of the old beliefs that I NEED to do this so that I could surrender and let The Holy Spirit be my strength. Surrendering to The Holy Spirit has become a daily commitment for me.

May our light so shine in this day that the people we are with do see Jesus–only JESUS!
