Someone once said……You are God’s love letter to the world. Love big. Love well. Love all.
Finding Favor is one of my favorite christian groups of all time. One of their newest songs made my heart just scream out today……”Thank you God that you stepped in. Thank you God that you love me so much that you held out your hand and pulled me up out of a life of destruction and set me on a solid foundation. Thank you for not letting go when I failed you so many times. Thank you God for changing me, and giving me courage to be the woman you have called me to be. Thank you Jesus I am not who I was……and for giving me hope for a tomorrow, for giving me a purpose, (Jeremiah 29:11) and for giving me the gift of GAB to tell all I meet.
Amazing …….. Amazing……..So amazing……..
So many times I have looked over my life and I stand amazed at the difference that the Lord has made in me. As a teenager I was very unsure of my self…not to big on self confidence. I had no ideal who I was or where I belonged. No Ideal who my friends where or if I had any at all. However now….I know who I am, I am a child of the most High God. And I belong to his Family….. When I was married to my first husband I thought I was absolutely nothing. Not pretty, not loved, completely worthless…..BUT NOW…….Jesus has made me see I am the apple of his eye. I am loved. I am wonderfully made. I am more precious than a ruby. When I use to drink and do other things that I am not proud of, I had a mouth of a Sailor….not to mention I was mean and cruel when I would get mad. But that’s not me today….Today God has made me realize that my words hold life and death in them….he has made me aware that I can speak things into being. So today I try my very best to be encouraging and speak life in all situations. No matter how mad I get, how hurt I may feel, I always try to filter my thoughts and words through the Holy Spirit before I speak.
I serve and amazing God, with an amazing love for me!!!!!!
This song so ministers to me, and it should to you also. Where would you be today if LOVE never stepped in? Please take a few moments today and think about the love Jesus had for you when he stepped in your life????? Think about what he has done for you. Think about where he has brought you from and what he has brought you out of. Then think…..picture……set your eyes on the prize……..Your Destiny, Your eternity with Christ!!!!!!!
Prayer:
Thank you Lord for stepping in. Thank you for giving me the passion and the courage to serve you in this cold cruel world. Thank you for helping me focus on my future with you instead of my past that was with out you. Today I am saying so long to my past…..goodbye to my failures……and screaming THANK YOU THANK YOU LORD……THANK YOU LOVE FOR STEPPING IN!!!!!!!
In Jesus name,
Amen
