Our Savior Lord Jesus created us from one breath and a handful of dust. He gave us everything we ever needed, but we being greedy couldn't settle for anything less. When Eve took a bite of that fruit, it was because she was told by Satan that she would be able to know between good and evil; just how God knew. And that leaves us to being here today.
On this treadmill of life, you are holding your bottle of water trying to quench your thirst. However, it is unquenchable because you are filling your body with the wrong liquids. . In this life, we continue to grow further apart from God and it leaves us feeling dry and thirsty. It is Jesus' blood we need to be drinking.
This world we live in is a broken world. We suffer from pain to anguish, from sickness to death, and we all are wondering that if there is a God that loves us as so many people say He does, then why does He let us suffer the way we do. Why? you ask. Because we chose to be this way. God makes us suffer so that we can find shelter and comfort in His hands. Whenever a baby enters the world, it is crying and yelling. This cry/yell is the baby's way of telling us that the world is broken. It is crying because it knows that the world needs God. It is trying to yell at us to understand.
I became a born again Christian in the eighth grade and since then, my life has never been the same. You could have everything in the world, but still feel a sense of emptiness. It is like trying to fill a cup that has a hole in it. You continue to pour into the cup, but the fluids slowly leak from the hole. The only thing that can fill that hole is Jesus' love. This is what I was going through. I was slipping away fast whenever I saw a nail-pierced hand that was ever so gentle reach down from His cross and pull me up from Satan's grip. It was a difficult struggle for many years and I still have times where I stumble, but I have come to find that Jesus is always there to catch me when I fall. Jesus has loved me enough to rescue me and deliever me from evil.
This leaves me to where I am today, sitting in a Church and glorifying His name. I can feel Him all around me and His prescence within the room. Everybody has their own way of feeling God's prescence in a room. God is like a reflection; you can see it, but you can't quite make it out. For me, God's prescence gives me the chills. There are pulsating chills that almost feel as if Jesus' heart and my heart are beating as One. I can feel Him moving and working through me. Silence screams the truth that our Savior is here with us.
I have sinned and will continue to sin the rest of my life. We all fall short of the glory of God, but God has created the heavens and the earth, the land and the skies, the universe and the galaxies. He named every star that blankets the night sky and every animal, but He still knows my name, and your name. We continue to struggle with the walk in this world and a walk in His. Many of us are sitting on the fence, some of us have one foot in this world and one foot in His path. We need to walk more with the Lord than what is offered in this world. The people in this world will walk in front of or behind you, but our Lord Jesus will walk beside you, holding your hand.
It is the innocent that are killed to cover the guilt. Jesus has died for you and me on the cross to clothe us in His righteousness. I receive the power from drinking His blood and eating His flesh. My power comes from my relationship with Jesus. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the light. He is the promise brought into this world. We are healed by His wounds and all our hope can be found in Heaven. Our hope can be found in the past knowing our Lord Savior died on the cross to pay for our sins so that we can live in eternity in Him in the kingdom He has prepared for us.
Sometimes, it may seem like homework, school, family, work, boy/girlfriend, etc.... will get in the way before God. We need to place Him first because without Him we have nothing.
Let me pray for you!
Dear Heavenly Father, you are my comfort, my rock, and my shelter. Through you I find all my strength, all my love, and all my hope. I pray that you be with whomever may read this. May they too find solace in YOU! Lord, I ask for you to break their heart so that they can allow you to start working in their life. Lord I pray that you open their minds to your word, their ears to your song, their eyes to your prescence, and their hearts to your love. I pray that you use them as your servants to guide lost souls as we once were. I pray that they use the song in their hearts to praise you. I pray that they accept your outstretched hands and walk beside you in this world. Lord, please wrap them in you arms and protect them from the dangers and evils in this world. Give them the strength to continue in this world we are living in today. Lord, if it wasn't for your sacrifice on the cross, we would not be where we are today. I thank you for dying on the cross to pay for my sins so that I can live eternity with you in the kindom you have prepared for me where there is no sin, no sickness or pain, no misery or death but Lord only your love. And it is in Jesus' name I pray. Amen!
