Thank you. I have been following you for over a year now and have grown to trust and respect you so much. I am not a Christian, and frankly, have had a not so positive relationship with Christianity in the past. But because I trust and respect you- and watched this entire video and listened. I feel strongly that we all have something to learn and teach each other and when we listen with an open heart we can only grow. Thank you for building a bridge that I felt comfortable crossing. We need so much more of that now more than ever.

I honestly hated Christians until a couple years ago...I sat down read the gospels myself and fell in love with Jesus. God opened my eyes to how there are evil counterfeit forms of Christianity, Jesus actually warns us of it. Now I'm born again with the Holy Spirit and he healed me from so many things....try ignoring everything you know about Christianity (like the condemning, hateful, prideful American version) and seek to know Jesus for yourself through the gospels. ❤️

Jess - I have been waiting for this. Your "Infinitely More" devotional literally changed my life. This past spring, a farmer friend gave our family two raised beds, which is something we've wanted for a long time. However, we really didn't know what we were doing, lacked confidence, and put off filling them with soil and planting seeds until July 4th. The first thing we planted that day were okra seeds, because okra was brought to the US by enslaved Africans; and we wanted to honor them. (We are an African-American family.) To our amazement, those seeds germinated in a few days and steadily grew into the beautiful, thriving plants they now are. Moreover, we were surprised to see one lone okra plant growing through the thick grass next to the bed. A seed must have fallen from the packet or my hand onto the ground without my knowing it. To our surprise, that okra plant is bigger and stronger than the others in the bed we finally filled and planted! I think it was God's way of saying, "Even when you delay or just do what you can in this relationship, I will do a lot more!" It also said something to me about His power and promise, which far surpasses mine. He is my best and most loving friend. Why wouldn't I want to be in relationship with a God like Him?! Thank you for not only teaching us, Jess, but also inspiring us to do what we can when we can. And thank you for reminding us, as you said, that God is the One who fulfills our dreams. - Esther in Chapel Hill, NC

Soooooooo needed to hear this. As someone who is entering my senior years with a son that has special needs, the demands can often push the sitting time with Jesus away. Needed to be reminded that I can be intimate with Jesus while I am preparing the daily meals & meds for my son (peanutbutter and jelly sandwich). Need to keep reminding myself of heart posture until it becomes the very way I live. Blessings Jess. He shines so brightly through you, Thank you for your willingness to be the vessel.

For your merchants were the great ones of the earth, for by your drug sorcery all the nations were led astray.” ‭‭Ḥazon (Revelation)‬ ‭18:23‬ ‭TS2009‬‬ Food is the medicine, we should eat right, no GMOed foods, no grazon hay, no chemical toxins. No unclean, just eat seed bearing plants and just the Daniel diet, the body heals if you give it the nutrition to heal and obey the scriptures and seek and listen to YaH. Online the diet is called 80-10-10. Much Ahabah! May your son be healed.

Jane I just commented a similar thought. I think it was the most honest and edifying teaching on Mary and Martha I’ve ever heard...and I’ve heard many as you probably have also. When she said she was offended that Jesus didn’t ask someone to help Martha I realized I too have had that thought. As Christians we’ve all been taught to be like Mary, and we def need to sit as His feet, but I think particularly us moms and Grandmoms we find ourselves working like Martha. I’m so appreciative of Jess sharing her thoughts this morning. It is in Him that we live and move and have our being...and I needed the reminder. God bless.

Jessica thank you. Your word today was straight from the heart of God! I was slipping back imto condemnation because my Mom move in and I care for her. Since covid I also babysit weekdays for my 1 yr old grandson. I also have a garden to tend. I'm so busy but I meditate on the Lord while I'm working. I was starting to be frustrated when my morning time praying and reading is constantly interupted. I needed this very word today. I see the God in you. What an on time word. Thank you for you obedience and openness. I know that the Kingdom of God is "in" me and "in" you. God used you today. I love you! God bless you! A few years ago I was riding in my car to the store and this awesome worship song was playing. When I got to the store I didn't want to go in since the song was still playing and I was in the spirit of worship. Suddenly a small voice spoke and said "take me with you". You reminded me of that day Jess.

I turn 60 this year….. after a lifetime of pursuing a “personal” relationship with Yeshua, I have come to understand and believe that I have always been in one. I was trying to fit into a relationship box not meant for me. I see that now, as my Father has been working on teaching me about our relationship lately. Through neighbours, sermons at church and online, reading scripture and having the perceived expectations taken away one by one, I can finally rest at the foot of the cross, or rest on a walk, and just be with my Father.

Thanks, Jess - for sharing your faith! I truly believe that many of us strong women, whether we are homemakers or CEO’s, often relate to Martha - we are doers and don’t often allow ourselves to stop and sit quietly, like Mary. We see something that has to be done and we jump in. I have to ask myself, is my constant business a reflection of Him. Just finished studying 1 John - I love how John reminds us that if we constantly walk in the truth of God, there will be little difficulty for others to see Jesus in what we do. In his letter, John wrote with hope that the reader would eagerly seek fellowship with God, so sincerely, so intimately that we would know what it meant to “walk in the light, as He is in the light.” Keep on sharing both your life on your new property and your strength and obedience as a woman of God.

I know that loving my children has so often been a teaching process that has helped me to know and understand my relationship with god. And yet it is still hard for me to really grasp that I am loved by him with an even greater love than I feel for my boys. Or that he also wants only good for me in the same way that I only want good for my boys. I'd probably benefit from having Only Love and Only Good tattood on my forehead somewhere to keep me aware and remembering. Maybe I could put "And still, he loves me" somewhere on a wall in my house to remind me not only that he gives this to me but also that I can choose to reflect it to others in all I do. There are definitely moments in my life where I manage to get so far away from this. And I'd love to change that.

love does not take offense, love is not jealous.... so why is God a Jealous God and takes offense often? Why does he demand that his followers fear him? Is this really a loving God?

@@bipslone8880 Hello, when we read the translation of the Bible we have to consider the fact that it was translated from Hebrew and Greek, which has such a rich background in their meaning. I believe the word fear when it was translated really meant to reverence or respect. Like the word repent simply means to change ones mind. There are a couple of books that were put together to help us more fully understand the true, richer meaning of words that, at the time of translating, didn’t really have a very good English counterpart. The Strongs Concordance is one of them and is free online. I hope this helps you a little bit in understanding the Bible and why it was written/translated the way it was by the King James scholars. I am no expert, but I remember having that exact same concern you voiced. Have an awesome day!

@@bipslone8880 no, again you have to look at the circumstances at the time these books were written. I am actually named after a woman who was appointed by God to be a judge over Israel. My best advice for you is to do your own research. Don’t let others do it for you.

Love your energy, Jess! Thank you for the devotional. God Bless. 🙏💟🥰 What an awesome message! Thank you, thank you, thank you... I have taken offense also and had justified my reasons, because: My husband is intimacy anorexic, everyone else thinks he is the best, but we have NO relationship, of any kind. I live vicariously through you and your youtube community. I praise God for Justin Rhodes, you, Sow the Land, Art & Bri, The Hollar's, and etc. Somehow I need to praise God for my husband also.
