The Love for Jesus

The Love for Jesus

How great is Jesus that he would give his life in perfectness to come down to the earth where there is so much distruction and sin. The hate and pain that not only is occurring now because His children are being disobedient and choosing sin over His eternal love, peace and happiness with Him. But to be brutally beatened, degrated, abused in everyway and crucified.
To continually give us chances to repent and turn once and for all to Him permenantly, instead we are luke warm and choose our fleshly desires that will cause us eternal pain and suffering.
Jesus is so great...Oh how I long to have His heart and love that He has for us sinners. He never points His finger but offers us a way out. He never changes His mind to accept us but offers us eternity with great joy and love. Jesus is so good to us and we are so blinded by sin that we do not see His blessings, gifts and love he pours apon us.
How many people on earth died and took much torture and abuse for your sake to see you have a happy life?? God gives to us freely and we accept with our hands open for the taking. So self centered are we that God has to do this for us. But His love is unchangable and He longs for our relationship with only Him. How great is our God!!!

Giving Thanks to Jesus

Giving Thanks to Jesus

I have realize over the last month how amazing God is for constantly accepting my self absorption. I finally decide to give my life to Christ and realize I am doing it wrong in a sense. I want to pray to God, read his word and worship him daily but why do I always tend to use the great "I" word in all "I" do? For example...... I find my prayers wanting and receiving but not always giving to Him. When I read the bible why do I feel like God has to show me something or I have to get something out of it. When I sing to him have you ever felt like you were not feeling the Holy Spirit at any time?
But through this all, I know the right way is to read, pray and worship. So what is not all glorious about what I am doing or how I am doing it? Because in all we do is to give back to God, to let his glory shine for His purpose not our own. So what now??
I have decided to continue my prayers, reading the bible and worshipping my Jesus but I have set a time in the day for His glory and His thanksgiving only.. God knows in order for us to do his purpose, His will we need to be like Christ in all we do. The only way that is possible is through the strength of our Father, Son and the comforter(Holy Spirit). We can not do anything of God's will if it was not for his touch in our lives. So I know it is crucial for us to pray for the needs we have for we are God's children and he wants us to go to Him for all things.
But for me to separate my prayers, worship and reading strictly for Him and not me is Glorious. To pray only for all the reasons why I love Him and am thank full for what He has done in my life. From the world and the way he created it to the person I am and who He has given me. All things. To be able to sing to Him and for Him only is joyful. To read the bible to see his love, grace, mercy and all the goodness He has. To pray to Jesus to let him know how great He is in all is much pleasure. Just to be able to give back and not always take from our giving God Almighty is so wonderful!!
