“Yes Lord — Because You Called Me”

Sometimes the only words I have are, “Yes, Lord.”

But those two words carry power. They are my agreement with God’s plan over my life, even when I don’t have it all figured out.

This is what saying “Yes Lord” really means to me:

I Can Say That

“Let the redeemed of the Lord say so…” Psalm 107:2
Because when God speaks, I repeat it. I speak life. I speak faith. I speak the truth.

I Can Do That

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Philippians 4:13
Because it’s not about my strength, it’s about His power in me.

I Can Be That

“You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood…” 1 Peter 2:9
Because He has already called me that, worthy, set apart, anointed.

I Can Believe That

“All things are possible to the one who believes.” Mark 9:23
Because faith is how I access what God already prepared for me.

I Can Receive That

“Ask and it will be given to you…” Matthew 7:7
Because God is a giver. I just have to be willing to receive.

I Can See That

“We walk by faith, not by sight.” 2 Corinthians 5:7
Because spiritual vision shows me what’s coming, even when it’s not here yet.

I Can Learn That

“Teach me Your ways, Lord…” Psalm 86:11
Because I never stop growing in Him.

I Can Teach That

“Go and make disciples… teaching them…” Matthew 28:19-20
Because my journey, my story, my healing, it’s not just for me.

I Can Know That

“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” John 8:32
Because in Him, there’s no confusion, only freedom and clarity.

You Called Me

“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you…” Jeremiah 1:5
This is my why. My fuel. My confidence. He called me, so I said “Yes, Lord” to all of it.

Every “I can” is possible because He called me. When you feel unsure, remember this: You don’t have to be qualified by the world when you’ve been chosen by God.

When the Load is Too Heavy: It is Okay to Ask for Help

Life is full of difficulties, and sometimes the weight of everything can feel overwhelming. Whether it is work, relationships, or personal challenges, we all face moments when our loads get too heavy to carry alone. It is in these moments that seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but of strength. Asking for support allows us to share the burden, gain perspective, and move forward with renewed energy. You do not have to carry it all by yourself. Lean on your loved ones, friends, or even professionals when the weight feels unbearable. Remember, you are never alone on this journey, and it is okay to ask for a hand when you need help!

You can appeal to the personal and spiritual need for connection, trust, and surrender to God’s guidance. Just take a moment to pause and turn to God the Father in prayer. He is always there, ready to listen, comfort, and guide you. Just as you don’t have to carry your load alone, you don’t have to face your burdens without the strength that only God can provide. Pray to Him, ask for His help, and trust that He will give you rest. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.’ —Matthew 11:28.” Here is a reminder

JESUS, THE LIVING WATER

Jesus said, “I am the living water.” John 7:37-38 (NIV): “On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, ‘Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

In this passage, Jesus is speaking during the Feast of Tabernacles, a Jewish festival that included rituals involving water, symbolizing God’s provision, and blessing. When Jesus says, “I am the living water,” He is declaring Himself as the source of spiritual life and sustenance. The “living water” symbolizes the Holy Spirit, who would later be given to believers after Jesus’ resurrection and ascension.

Jesus invites those who are spiritually thirsty to come to Him, promising that those who believe in Him will not only have their spiritual thirst quenched but will also become a source of spiritual life to others, as the “rivers of living water” will flow from within them. This emphasizes the transformative and overflowing nature of a relationship with Christ, where believers are filled with the Holy Spirit and are empowered to share that life with others.

“AND YES, HE IS ALL HE CLAIMED TO BE!”
