Picture this - you awaken early one morning and head to the kitchen to grab your favorite beverage. You decide to slip outside and watch the sun overtake the dark horizon. Quietly, you unlock the door and tiptoe towards the lounger. As you sink into the cushion, you observe a small fire out on the water's edge. Curious at such a sight, you step into your flip flops and head towards the flickering light. What could that be? As you approach you see a man sitting there. Smiling, he looks up and asks, "would you care to join me for breakfast?" At that moment you realize it's Yeshua-Jesus! Although stunned for an instant, you excitedly reply, "YES, of course!"

Picture this - you awaken early one morning and head to the kitchen to grab your favorite beverage.
You decide to slip outside and watch the sun overtake the dark horizon.
Quietly, you unlock the door and tiptoe towards the lounger. As you sink into the cushion, you observe a small fire out on the water's edge.
Curious at such a sight, you step into your flip flops and head towards the flickering light. What could that be?
As you approach you see a man sitting there. Smiling, he looks up and asks, "would you care to join me for breakfast?" At that moment you realize it's Yeshua-Jesus! Although stunned for an instant, you excitedly reply, "YES, of course!"
There you are with Yeshua. The two of you talking and laughing as though you were very old friends. The atmosphere is electric. His eyes glowing with a fire all their own. His love tingling within the depth of your being. Time stands still as you inhale His presence.
Then suddenly it hits you - it's Sunday morning! I must get ready for church. What if I'm late? I can't do that. What if someone takes my parking spot? What about my favorite seat? There is so much to do beforehand. I have to get busy!
You abruptly stand up while brushing off the sand and say, "Lord, I really need to go now. There is so much to be done. Thanks for the fish and the conversation, but if I don't get back to the house now, I will be late for church!"
You look His way, but He's no longer there. The fire is now a thin trail of smoke. Slowly, you turn to walk back home as reality sets in: Mary (relationship and closeness) instantly morphed into Martha (religion and tradition). Time alone with the Savior exchanged for busyness and self.
Let's never get too busy that we neglect our time with the Lord, regardless of life's demands. Most things can wait. Nothing will ever be more important than time dedicated to Him. Sit with the Savior.
It's time to take a bow on a performance-based life with Yeshua-Jesus; that's called religion. Instead, try sitting at His feet and developing a relationship - only then will you understand His love for you and His total acceptance of you!
Have you had breakfast with Yeshua lately?
Luke 10:41-42 And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. But one thing is needed and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."
Blessings and Shalom,
Terri Jordan

Our value and worth in the eyes of our heavenly Father is not dependent upon our good works; it is dependent on the value and worth of His Son, Yeshua-Jesus Christ and what His death, burial and resurrection accomplished for us. When we finally learn to connect to the Father's heart, we will tap into our true identity. From that realization we begin to transform from the inside out. We take on the very nature of our Lord.

Because Yeshua-Jesus Christ lives, we can face tomorrow. Because He loves us, we can and should love the seemingly unlovable. Yeshua died and rose again that we may live a victorious life. We can do all things through Christ; nothing shall be impossible if we truly believe (Phil 4:13 & Mark 9:23). That situation you are facing right now, it is there to strengthen, not harm you. Face that situation from a position of victory.

Over the past several years, I've had to re-evaluate most of what I previously had been taught concerning God and Whom I perceived Him to be. You see, most everything I had learned, prior to my wilderness experience, came from the preconceived interpretations of all my past teachers. When we have a preconceived idea about something or someone, that perception becomes the lens through which we evaluate the event. As with most of us, our beliefs and interpretations are 'the gospel' until we begin to see the kingdom of God through the lenses of relationship.
