I am honored to write on my sister-in-law Hannah's blog.
Hannah, you are such an annointed woman of God in everything you do. Thank you for being 100% REAL in your walk with God.
I have asked God to show me what to write about. And as I have read scripture, everything I read I think "Wow! I want to write about this." But, of course you can only say and talk about so many things on one blog before people get completely bored and confused and leave the site completely. I will keep this short and simple!
As I slipped my head in my daughters bedroom door while she was taking her afternoon nap, I couldn't hardly stand there much longer as my eyes filled with tears and my heart swelled with pride. I felt such a strong warmth of Gods love wrap around me like an oversized furry blanket during a winter snow storm sworming about.
I immediately went to the altar that I have in my bedroom and knelt. I thanked God for loving me even when I was a stubborn girl who thought time was in my hands. I did what satisfied my flesh and was decided that I would get saved when I was older. (Salvation doesn't work that way)
As I was praying in my room today, my mind went back to the night that I was changed forever; at a Tuesday night youth service. The preacher preached, but the message I can not remember. During the altar call I recognized before God my brokeness that I had been living with for a long time and I was only becoming more broken each day I lived without Christ as my saviour.
Standing infront of the altar of the church, all I could see in my mind was Jesus Christ standing up looking down at me with his arms opened wide. The most tender look was in His eyes. I knew what He was doing. What He had been doing for a long time; waiting for me to jump in His arms and be rescued from sin and bondage! All I could get out of my mouth in the midst of crying was "Thank you for still loving me. Thank you for still loving me." over and over as I gave my heart completely over to Christ. I had never been so grateful for such merciful love in my life. I was free! Free forever. I didnt care anymore what people thought. It wasnt worth living alone any longer and it certainly wasnt worth eternal death in hell.
If you havent ever heard or maybe have forgotten, Jesus loves YOU!
My dear friend, right now, take a quick trip down memory lane, and I do mean quick. Don't dwell on your past sins longer than just to repent (If you haven't already) and thank God for STILL loving you! No matter what youve done. No matter the people you have hurt or who has hurt you and you have been carrying around unforgiveness.
GOD STILL LOVES YOU.
He's standing here with arms open wide waiting to rescue you!
Please don't miss this opportunity to be forgiven. Cleansed. Free forever.
God can make brand new what Satan has torn down and nearly destroyed.
II Corinthians 5:17
"If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation; old things are passed away behold all things are become new."
This verse has encouraged me so many times! Old things are passed away!! I and everything in me became new when I surrendered my life to Christ! The old me is gone. Thank you Jesus!
My only desire is to worship you, Lord. I pray that when your eyes come across me, you find a heart that is just like yours. In Jesus name!
