This is My Story, This is My Song...Praising My Savior all the day long!
Easter is a very special time for me. I often find my heart more excited about Easter than Christmas, Thanksgiving, or even my birthday! One week ago today I celebrated my 19th year as a believer. On March 13, 1989, during my church revival, I stepped out into the aisle alone...tears running down my face..... and walked to the front to proclaim that I BELIEVED!!!!!! The sermon was on Luke 7: 36-50 "The sinful woman anoints Jesus' feet". You know the story, he is talking to the men about how the did not give him water to clean his feet but she cleaned them with her tears and wiped them with her hair. Pouring perfume on his feet and kissing his feet. Then Jesus says the most beautiful words....s. 47- "Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven-for she loved much.
But he who has been forgiven little loves little".
Meaning what? My bible explains it like this.........."Overflowing love is the natural response to forgiveness and the appropriate consequence of faith". It's understanding the depth of your sin and how wide God's mercy is for us!!! Praise you God.
I was baptized on Easter Sunday morning. I made public my decision that I loved the light of the world! I was cleansed on the day! We celebrated his MIGHTY RESSURECTION, I celebrated my RESTORATION!!!! Praise you. I can hardly tell you what my Father has done to me, for me, through me.... without crying. What he has saved me from, what he brought me through.
There would be no Easter if he had not willingly died. He was about his Father's business!Jesus Paid It All.....
I hear the Saviour say,"Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in in Me thine all in all."
Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
He died and now I am white as snow. I can hardly write this. I know who I really am....what I really could be capable of....had he not revealed himself to me. He paid it all, all to him I owe. I cry when I see new believes walk the front of church to choose to follow him. I know what they are about to experience, I know the healing they will receive......sadly I spent to many years surrounding myself with only those that did believe. Crying for new believers, but not putting myself out there to reach those that weren't. Those years are over now. It is worth risking everything to SPEAK! He is everything to me. EVERYTHING!!!!! If he called me home tomorrow....then HALLELUJAH... I want to be in his presence. I need to hear his voice. This life is real, it's going on now, and I am not willing to put my dreams above his. My desires over his. My time above his. WE ARE HERE FOR HIM. SALVATION IS FREE!
THIS IS NOT OUR LIFE BUT HIS. THE GIFT WAS FREE!
THE SAME QUESTION IS REALLY BOTHERING ME.....
"WHAT THE HECK ARE WE DOING TRYING TO AVOID DOING HIS WORK?"
Oh Father, we praise you for your son JESUS!!!! We SHOUT with praise for our SALVATION. You are the greatest gift of all! FREE- THE GIFT WAS FREE!!!!! Be our delight! Increase our hunger for you, for others, and for you work. Forgive us for making the journey about ourselves. I AM NOT WILLING TO LET GO OF YOU. NOT WILLING!!!!! HOLY ARE YOU LORD
Holy is HeHoly is He
and great is His Glory
Holy is He
and worthy of our praise.
and worthy of our praise.
I stand in His presence amazed,
and crown Him with worship and praise!
HOLY IS HE, HOLY IS HE, HOLY IS HE!
"I know my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will STAND UPON THE EARTH. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will SEE GOD; I myself will see him, with my own eyes-I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!" Job 19: 25-27
Father use us to increase your children!!!!!!
Thank You for your Love!
