Why is it that we as humans have such a hard time surrendering all to our Creator? Jeremiah 29:11 tells us “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” so if we know that is truth that He desires to have us prosper and not fail, then why is it so difficult?! I pray He would help me always surrender all to Him, and you too, because it will be greatly blessed!
Well, the question is ” Where do I start “? You see growing up I was never brought up in a christian home, I mean I guess I knew About God as much as any young kid, but I never was taught anything about Jesus. I got saved in October 2005, I was never introduced to what being a christian really meant and what this God and Jesus thing was all about until I met my Wife ” Amanda ” and her family because like I said I did’nt see it growing up. Early on in my childhood is when my struggles began, at the age of one I was diagnosed with MD and my parents were told I would’nt live to see 2, so anyway God brought me through a long 13 years with that, and then at the age of 16 I was diagnosed with a heart valve condition, which I still struggle with. To make a LONG story short I knew I could no longer do this alone and I had to throw all of my Pride away and give my life to HIM. Since that October 2005 day my life has changed and will always be changed, his Love and Mercy is greater than I ever imagined, His power is that of nothing on this earth. I still have many struggles and fears, but now I know that God is in complete control of all things. I would never go back in my life and change anything I been through because if I had not went through it I know in my heart that I would not be typing this now, I’d just be living my same old selfish life. I pray that this story will inspire someone to call and trust in Him, and know that know matter what your story is he is waiting with open arms. All you can do is live one day at a time, and just trust and Love Him, be a shining light! Have no fear, Jesus is Here! Also I dont wanna mention those individuals who have made the biggest impact in my life, I know its not a shout out site but they deserve it, Rob O, Brad, Grandma Norma and My Wife Amanda!
Each day I must ask God for the strength and wisdom just to get through for that day. If I gaze into tomorrow then I am no good for the present.
As I ponder the life of a Christ follower, I am realizing that Jesus totally went against the norm of what religious people were doing back then. He instilled them with power from the Holy Spirit and sent them out to reach the lost: with nothing more basic necessities. These 70 reached the
Masses and transformed a nation. They started a new way of thinking, a new way of acting and a new way of believing. Because of Jesus changing their lives they invoked this spiritual revolution…
