Let the Lord be magnified, who has pleasure in
the prosperity of His servant. Psalm 35:27
Do you believe that Jesus is interested in your success?
Take a moment to reflect on
this.
My friend, I want you to
know that Jesus delights in blessing you. It is His good pleasure to see you
blessed in every area of your life! Now, don’t put a limit on His blessings in
your life. The blessings of the Lord are not (as some may erroneously believe)
just seen in material things. Jesus is infinitely interested in your total well-being.
He is interested in your family, career, fulfillment in life, marriage,
ministry, and boy, does the list go on!
When it comes to your
desires, hopes and dreams, there is no detail that is too minuscule, minute or
insignificant for Jesus. Trust me, if it matters to you, it matters to Him!
Even if you go to Him in prayer to remove that small pimple on your nose, He is
not going to look at you and reply mockingly, “Hey buddy, don’t you know that
I’ve got a whole universe to run? Come to Me when you have a bigger prayer
request.” No way! A thousand times no! Jesus will never ridicule or deride your
concerns as petty. He is never dismissive or condescending. He is not like some
of your so-called “friends,” who may delight in poking fun at your
shortcomings. If it bothers you, it “bothers” Him.
You are important to Jesus.
Know with full assurance in your heart that Jesus knows you perfectly, and yet
accepts and loves you perfectly. When you begin to understand that, you will
realize that it is truly that unmerited favor, that favor from Jesus that you
know you do not deserve, did not merit and cannot earn for yourself, that will
perfect every imperfection and weakness in your life. If you are facing
challenges, such as lack in any area, addictions, fears, sicknesses or broken
relationships, Jesus’ unmerited favor will protect, deliver, prosper, bring
restoration to and provide for you. His unmerited favor will transform you into
wholeness, and it is the goodness of God, not your striving and self-efforts,
that will lead you to live victoriously for His glory. (Article &
