What I got from Jesus is: It's the being, not the doing!

What I got from Jesus today is an important reminder of the difference being the "being" and the "doing".

When people asked Jesus about the "doing" of what must they do to make sure they are doing God's work. Jesus told them that is not the "doing" but being and believing in him is what is really important.

Most Christians are in a "doing" mode. We think that to do more for God is what God wants us to do. But, in fact, what God wants is for us to go to Jesus to enjoy his daily provision as a father provide for his sons and daughters.

Come to Jesus! It's the being and not the doing. It's the being with Jesus daily and not the doing for Jesus. If you have the time to be with Jesus each day then Jesus will instruct you to do the things he really wants you to do. Without the daily being with Jesus, you might just be doing your own things, sooner or later you are going to burn out!
