Hello,
I can't remember the last time I just sat down and wrote straight from my heart...to YOU.
It's been a while.
So I am taking this moment now to do that, right now.
You see, I think about you often...every day actually. Here lately I have even started to sit down and try and put into words what I have been feeling.....to no avail. A sort of writers block, if you will. Until tonight. I just decided, "Forget it! Tell them like it is...straight from your heart Amy. Straight from your heart."
For there really is no greater truth....no stronger reality than telling it as it is.
Did you know God loves you?
No, seriously he does. I know you hear that every where all the time. This time I say it as an ambassador of heaven.
First off let me clarify....I speak of the one true GOD. The God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob... Your creator....not only He who created you but he who has created everything. Everything you see and all you don't see. The heavens and earth. Did you know God created YOU...in HIS image to have a relationship with HIM?
Uh hum, yep....That is why you were created. THAT is your purpose in life.
And God ....your creator....He LOVES YOU.
Now I realize that you may or may not be at a "place in life" to fully comprehend or understand
this in your mind right now....but I also know that IN YOUR HEART you "desire it"....DEEP WITHIN....and for a very long time you have been seeking the meaning of your existence....(How do I presume to know this? you are probably asking at this point?....because at some point in life we all seek the meaning of life.)
It's okay not to understand it all...no one does at first. I didn't. It eventually comes together when you hear how God put everything in it's place for us...when you open up and receive by faith the life...the love...God has to offer through His Son...it all comes together. It ALL begins to make perfect sense. The darkness disappears. The anxiety melts away and is replaced with perfect peace.....And yes....Understanding. But this understanding is only brought about by God's Holy Spirit and can only be obtained through "His" presence or in- dwelling in ones life.
So back to the "God loves you."
and
"Knowing your purpose in life."
I am TALKING to YOU! So Listen up!
I have lived a hard life. I KNOW what it's like!
From the young age of four is my youngest recollection of abuse and abandonment. Physical, sexual, abuse, there was abandonment and wrong choices, sin, drugs, sickness disease, failed marriage, homelessness, betrayals of family members, more sickness....the list goes on....
LIFE IS HARD!
BUT...I will say...GOD is Faithful....Always.....each time I have fallen and I have turned to Him.
HE HAS PICKED ME UP!
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all." Psalm 34:19
I want to encourage you right now! Come to the Lord. Come Home....No matter where you have been...what you have done. Don't give a thought to what any one "else" may "think"!
It doesn't matter anyway!
The Lord gave his life for YOU so YOU could be with him!
Simply ask him to forgive you for the sin you've committed (as we have all sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God) ask him to cleanse you with his blood and make you whole. Acknowledge him as your Messiah/Savior....
Come home!
If you don't know Jesus/Yeshua "personally" yet....NOW is the time.
You Wanted Me to Know
Lord you came into this world
You left your crown upon your throne
Lord you came into this world
To make this sinner your own
You walked along the roads I walked
You brought the answers that I sought
You spoke of life eternally
And how you came to set me free
You said there’d come a time
When you would have to go
You said that you’d be back
How was I to know...?
Lord you came into this world
As a holy sacrifice
To bear my stripes upon your back
And for me be crucified
You said there’d come a time
When you would have to go
You said that you’d be back
How was I to know?
They’d crucify you ~ upon a tree
You’d suffer and die ~ to set me free
How was I to know?
Lord you came into this world
You left your crown upon your throne
You died the death that I deserve
You paid the price ~ now I’m your own
You placed your seal on my heart
Your Holy Spirit by my side
You said ~ “Remember what I’ve done,”
“and please keep my love alive.”
You said your time had come
And that you had to go
You said that you’d be back
Back to take me home
You wanted me to know
