Praise God.
i went on my livejournal and my heart smiled. i went to check my friends entries to comment and 10 in a row... entries of people that want to know god..and want him to burn that fire of faith in their lives. God is good. i read the testimonies and wow. DAng. GOD is sooo good. i read other people's testimonies and see that God is so amazing, i look at my life and wow, so many problems i cant seem to deal with but still here i am... still happy... still living, loving, and in love with God. if he can do so much in my life and can still touch others and help with with their problems, focuse on their lives touch them, love them, listen to their needs and problems. Our God is an awsome God.
Has he ever turned his back on us? NEVER. Will he ever stop loving us? Never his love is eternal.
Who knows us better than Jesus himself? when he came to earth and died for us he was human. just like us. yet he resisted all tempation. When he died he had no faults he was perfect. his holy blood cleansed us. "while we were sinners christ died for us"
i was in church last sunday and we sang a song. "you lived to die, rejected and alone, like a rose trampled on the ground... you thought of me... above all." what a higher being he was. he was innocent but gave up his life WILLINGLY for me. for us. for everyone. he was so beautiful. perfect like and untouched rose that withered and died for us. that is one gift we cant compare with.
What problems will we face that Jesus has not already faced while he was walking amoung men? Jesus was betrayed by his friends. he had imperfect parents... Joesph and mary. we wandered alone, he develped, grew up, was educated, he went though temtations, he loved, he cried, he walked, he lived, he talked, he preached, he listened, he died. what human can say that they have experienced everything and can help you with your problems. no one. Only god. our one and only god can say that he lived and expereienced everything... every temtation. everything you can think of. down to the smallest things imaginable such as starting to walk. who else can help us with life than he who already live.
Look to god and he will never fail you. the is the author and the reader of the book known as your life. he turns the pages he writes your story. he knows what will what has and what is.
we have turned our back on him but he will never to us. how many times must be hurt our one and only god because we couldnt fight our temtations? when we leave his side and wander out on our own, he doesnt punish us... he waits for us... when we reach our lowest point (refering to Jonah 1:1-17)we come back to god... and does he help us? of course. no only just blessing us with a minor blessing he goes all out. when jonah was shallowed by the big fish he prayed to god. not only did god got him out of the fish, even though jonah betrayed god, god made the fish spit jonah out on dry land. god could of just let the fish spit jonah out anywhere and well where does a fish live but in the wide open ocean, no matter when the fish spat jonah out he would of been well... out of luck cuz yes hes out of the fish but hes going to drown.
remember that god is great and so merciful. do not test him. have faith in him and follow him all of the days of your life.
