being BOLD for Christ.

I don't deserve this love, this devotion. I don't deserve one bit of it. Nothing I have ever done is worthy of that kind of love. But He has NEVER let me go. Even when I denied His pleas and His wants and wishes for my life, He has never let me go. He carried me through every single rough moment I've experienced. When I couldn't do it on my own, He wrapped His loving arms around me and shielded me. Even when I didn't call for His help, He was there.

My God is so amazing.

I don't know most of you readers personally at all. But you come here and allow me to share things with you and let you into my life. How could I not share the most treasured thing of all? If you're reading this post, I want you to know that He hasn't let go of you. He wants your love, He wants all of you. Right now- think of the one thing/persona/place that you love with every fiber of your being. Multiply that times a million. Multiply THAT number times a million and add infinity on to that. THAT, friends is how much God loves you. If you don't know, I hope that can begin to help you understand it.

...God didn't promise a trial-less life. He didn't promise that I wouldn't have any issues or problems or down-days. But He did promise a Savior. I know that no matter what I'm going through, I can pray. I can call upon the Son and help will be there, right there. The song just made sense to me. I know that no-matter-what...no matter what happens, when I can't do anything else about my situation...I can pray.

i wrote both of these passages at some time or another on the blog. i'm doing my final presentation in my classes today and one of them is talking about a major turning point in my life. the one i'm focusing on is the last two years, growing closer to and having a deeper understanding and relationship with God. i'm incredibly nervous about doing so because i'm in a class full of non-believers who have said at one point or another that they don't believe in God. i feel led to share my experience and be BOLD for Christ so despite feeling incredibly anxious...i'm rolling with it.

yay!

  3. Way to go. God calls us to witness to non-believers sometimes. Maybe, what you had to say touched somebody and helped to restore their lost faith.
