In awe of Jesus
I have been reading in the book of John for awhile now and it is SO GOOD!!!! Most days I find myself in tears while reading it. Not because I'm sad but because I am just so overwhelmed by how much Jesus loves me. I'm mean picture this: Jesus layed his life down at the cross for us. How amazing is that? Not only did he gave his life so we could be free, but he did it to glorify God. As some of you know, I have been dealing with depression. Lately, I've been thinking about how I have been able to get through it. The only thing that I can come up with is because of the love of Christ. He is my strength and he is my greatest cheerleader. He is there when I feel like I'm all alone. Jesus is the one who stands up for me when I can't stand up for myself. He is my eternal husband. While reading in the book of John, I've been reminded of something. I've been reminded of the fact that the Bible is the greatest love story of all time. It is so sweet to be reminded that Jesus truly loves us so much that he gave his life for us. John 15:13 says,"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." NO LOVE CAN COMPARE TO THE LOVE OF JESUS CHRIST!! It is real and true love. There is no love that is more satisfying than the love of christ. Nobody can come close to being as perfect as Jesus. He is the one that will help us get through the hard times. His love and his grace are sufficient for us.

"For I rejoiced greatly when the brothers came and testified to your truth, as indeed you are walking in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth." 3 John 3-4
ReplyDeleteMy heart rejoices in seeing you walk in the truth, Kim. No you are not my child :) as in the context of this verse, but as my kid sister I want you to know I have absolutely no greater joy than seeing Jesus win in your heart and to witness you step so courageously forward with Him, believing Him and holding on to his truth.
I love you and I am glad for your life and that you have persevered this far; you will be such a stronger woman for the trials you have been through. God is going to use your life in more ways than you could ever think possible. And whether the Lord wills it for me to be your nearby friend for all the years to come or not, I know I do not have to worry, because in his hands I can trust you will be okay.
