We all typically get frustrated with some aspect of our life and want to solve it with one mighty effort. If we go on a diet, we want to get involved in a program that helps us lose fifty pounds in one week; well, maybe not quite that much. But, we do want to make major sacrifices and cure years of bad eating habits in a short period of time. However, the way to get the weight off and keep it off, is to develop an eating lifestyle. That is the way you need to do with Jesus; you need to allow Him to help you get involved in a lifestyle. If you keep your time with Him simple and consistent, it will make all the difference in the world.

If you attack your life issues with an “all or nothing” approach, then you may see some results but it won’t become a lifestyle. But, if you simply read two to three pages a day for five days each week, that is something you can work into the “normal” aspects and schedule of your life. It can become a part of your day; and, it can be a sustained procedure for the rest of your life. In other words, you will not only learn a method for handling and improving your current issues, you will have a system that works to keep you growing and succeeding from now on.

Some people like to read and others don’t; even those who struggle with being able to sit down long enough to read something, can read two to three pages a day. It might be a real challenge for them at first; but, once their life starts growing, improving, and being blessed by Jesus, it will get much easier. The rewards you get will make any sacrifices you make worth it!

Whether you love reading or you hate it, a few pages during your week is the best way for you to get the results you are looking for. It won’t be too much of a demand on your day; and, it won’t be too small to get the job done. And, it will prepare you for your day; plus it will be presented in a format that will build on all the previous material. You will grow because Jesus has put His plan together in a progressive program. It will be like walking up stairs, each day of reading and prayer will expose you to the next level of spiritual and life-success growth.

It isn’t just about reading and studying the pages each day; that is actually a very small part of it. A very important part of it is what you do for the rest of your day.

You will need to discover what Jesus is trying to teach you.

You will need to let Him show you how to use the information during your day.

You will need to allow Him to show you all the benefits you can gain from it.

And, you will need to learn how to do it without creating stress, frustration, confusion, or fear.

Jesus has a wonderful way of helping you grow without pressuring or confusing you. That is something you will be learning from the very beginning. He is all about joyous, peaceful, loving, and patient relationships with Him.
