Jesus Girl

One thing I'd like you to know about me is that I'm a Jesus Girl!  What does that mean?  That means that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior.  I believe that He died on the cross for my sin, and rose again 3 days later.  By confessing my sin, asking for forgiveness, and inviting Him into my heart I now have eternal life, and one day I will live in Heaven with Him forever.  While on this earth I am called to glorify Him in all that I say and do, and when I don't, I ask Him to forgive me and He faithfully does.  I read the following in my morning devotions and wanted to share it with you because it's content embodies my life.

Now You Have Me, God!

Now You have me, God!

You have me irrevocably.

No reserve

No retreat

No turning back.

Now You have me, God!

All I feel

Dream

Aspire

All I long withheld.

My resistance

Triumphs

Defeats

My stalwart resolves

My crumbling dreams

My glittering awards

My blind alleys.

Now You have me, God!

All which is past

All which is now

All that may yet unfold,

The barriers are broken

The turmoil has stilled

Your Word is my Yes

Your notes are my song.

Now You have me, God!

You knocked

And still knocked

And I opened the door.

Now at last......

At long last

I know:

JOY!!!!!!!

As the rushing sea.

PEACE!!!!!!!

As a meadow at twilight.

STRENGTH!!!!!!!

As a towering mountain.

TRUST!!!!!!!

As a wide-eyed child

Who walks

In the gentle rain

Holding

A father's hand.

It's snowing outside, what a perfect day to paint, and paint, and paint some more!!!!!  Have a wonderful day!
