Jesus Only You…

by Melissa Taylor

Jesus Only You…

J.O.Y.

I asked a question on my blog and you responded. I asked you to finish this sentence:  Jesus Only You …..

Here are your responses:

  • J.O.Y…Jesus, Only You can fill my heart up with your neverending love.
  • Jesus, Only You can give me this and each and every day to be here on this beautiful earth to love my children.
  • Jesus, Only You lead me down the right path of my life and help me know the place where you want me to be.
  • Jesus, it is Only with You that all things are possible.
  • Jesus Only You, who can help me be the momma that my girls need and the wife my husband needs.
  • Jesus, Only You can bring peace to broken hearts.
  • Jesus, only You can can look past my outward appearance and see my true self!
  • Jesus, only You can pick me up every time I fall or fail.
  • Jesus, only You can exchange fear for faith.
  • Jesus, only You can breathe new life into a cold, dead heart.
  • Jesus, only You can turn prodigals home.
  • Jesus, only You can forgive sin and promise eternal life.
  • Jesus, only You offer strength in weakness, see the last as first and know the way up is found by getting down on our knees.
  • Jesus, only You…You only are more than enough for me.
  • Jesus Only You could show me how to forgive my abusive birth mother.
  • Jesus Only You can love me like I long to be loved.
  • Jesus Only You are my soulmate. No man can ever love me like you do. (I’m so thankful I understand this now.)
  • Jesus Only You can comfort me.
  • Jesus Only You can give me hope for the future.
  • Jesus Only You can bless my friends.
  • Jesus Only You can work in my dad’s heart and answer my prayer that he give his life to you before it is too late for him.
  • Jesus Only You is where my true value and worth is found. It is not in what others say or don’t say, what others do or don’t do, it is only in Christ.
  • Jesus, only you can give me true peace.
  • Jesus, Only You can restore what has crumbled and give me the strength to get back up when Satan knocks me down. Give me hope when Satan fills me with discouragement. And never remember my confessed sin although Satan uses it to bring me down.
  • Jesus only you can reach into my past and hold me in those dark places!
  • Jesus, only you can teach me to rest totally in the promises you have given me in your word.
  • Jesus, only you can preserve me in a land where I really feel like an alien and a stranger.
  • Jesus,only you can replace thoughts of anger and revenge with the sweetness of your spirit. Only you …Lord…ONLY YOU!!!!
  • Jesus Only You know what I truly need (which may not necessarily be what I want). Lead me to what I need.
  • Jesus Only You know all the desires of my heart. Teach me what they may all be.
  • Jesus Only You can heal the sick, wounded and sad of heart. My worrying will not help any of that. Please help me to direct my energies towards prayer and not worry.
  • Jesus only you offer me true protection from my enemies, when I am afraid.
  • Jesus only you give me strength when am I too weary to keep going on my own.
  • Jesus only you can make the wind blow and allow me to hear it as if it were a silent whisper meant only for me.
  • Jesus only you know the true desires of my heart.
  • Jesus only you can feed the hunger and quench the thirst of my soul with your word.
  • Jesus only you can heal my physical pain with your touch, when doctors give hope.
  • Jesus only you accept me broken and heal me.
  • Jesus Only You can heal my friend, Cindy’s body and relieve her pain, all my worrying and desires to help won’t heal her.
  • Jesus Only You can do my job at church, through me… my own efforts are for nothing without You.
  • Jesus Only You can make this women’s retreat work, not all my concern and over thinking and over committing.
  • These things have been stealing my JOY today. I need to be filled with Jesus Only You. Jesus, my focus. Jesus, my all. Jesus, the one and only.
  • Jesus, only you can meet all my needs!
  • Jesus Only You know every intricate part of me and know the true intent of my heart!
  • Jesus Only You can give me eternal, everlasting, unseparable love and joy!

Jesus Only You.  We can try to find peace, contentment, love, and comfort elsewhere, but no one or no thing can ever take the place of Jesus. The next time you are wishing things were different, just remind yourself that “Jesus, Only You…”

God Bless You,

Melissa Taylor

Thank you for your love, obedience to the Lord, your vulnerability and willingness to share private and dark things as well as victories. You bless and encourage me continuously. I love you, LaGena

This whole thing so ministered to me last week that Sunday my pastor was preaching on Joy and as I was taking notes of the sermon I wrote J.esus O.nly Y.ou on my notepad.
