Sacrifice doesn’t please God. Faith pleases God. Blessed are those who have seen and believed. More blessed are those who have not seen but have believed. Only through the lense of faith do I see clearly.

A testimony Monday, August 16, 2021

Looking for Jesus? Look for Him in the holiest of places, not made with hands. He’s in the heart. I don’t need a multi million dollar church building to find him either. I need a messy closet where there’s no choir and no beautiful altar. I just need that closet, a broken heart, a contrite spirit or even just a thankful heart. He walks with me and He talks with me and He tells me I’m His own.

I posted this earlier but it got deleted.
This morning I found markings from April, 2019. This was a challenging time for me. I had hilighted the word SUM.
It’s amazing to see how far God has brought me.
God isn’t the author of confusion. The entire Bible can be SUM totaled to this fact: For God so loved the world.
The first covenant could not give me peace. My conscience would not allow it as I know my guiltiness and iniquity. I’m under a new and fresh promise and not an old worn out one. I have a promise that I can count on in that Christ loves and died for me while I was still a sinner. Christ paid the sum total of my debt once and for all time. My account has been cleared because of my faith in Christ. It’s up to me to do my best knowing I’m worth the effort. God doesn’t give his only Son up as a ransom for losers. I must be a winner.
Just as my disobedience removed peace from my heart, Christ’s obedience and my faith in Christ’s work has delivered me!
Feeling blessed.

Surety ~ a person who takes responsibility for another's performance of an undertaking, for example their appearing in court or the payment of a debt.
My surety is Jesus. Thank you Jesus for saving me from myself. You are my surety. I owed a great debt. A debt I couldn’t pay. You paid it and imputed to me your righteousness. My dishonor has been covered by your honor. My life is hid in your life. Thank you savior. #blesstheNameoftheLord

A testimony Thursday, August 12, 2021

I can listen to preaching all day everyday and say “amen” but it won’t profit me a cent unless the word I’ve received is mingled with faith. This morning, in faith, I do not approach the throne of presidents, kings, or magistrates but rather I approach HIS Throne of Grace boldly knowing that my Father gives out grace, mercy and healings without respect of person. I have a high priest who is the creator of all things who is touched by my feelings of ineptness and weakness. Imagine having a leader who is without sin, died for sin, got up from the grave, and sits at the right hand of God who also forgives sin.

That’s my leader. I’m thankful I’m allowed to follow as I’m not worthy to tie His shoe laces and yet He still allows me to bask in His eternal light, a little here, and eternally there.

What a great reminder that I there is no expiration date on our salvation. There may be an expiration date on my life here but there is not an expiration date on the work done and birthed in my heart so many years ago. Jesus, thank you for my eternal salvation!

A testimony Tuesday, August 10, 2021

This morning’s reading really spoke to me. You’d think when watching TV that we are all at war with ourselves and one another. We aren’t. We are at war with principalities and powers. Governments, institutions, and false doctrines. To heal ourselves and to see the world heal we need only love ourselves and love one another charitably. Charity is greater than love as it means to give without expectation of return. God has been charitable towards me and I am humbled.

A testimony Monday, August 9, 2021

Regardless of how you feel about yourself or your past, trust in the mercy of God. His mercy is certain as long as you practice mercy. The merciful obtain mercy. Forgive yourself and forgive others and you will also feel and know the mercy of God.

A terrific Saturday morning. What a great and beautiful reminder that God still loves old sinners like me. Oh, how I needed this time with my God. I feel like I’m being rescued from the dark pit of guilt, shame, and regret. Praise God forever. Draw nigh to God and the Spirit of God will draw nigh to you. Physical suffering comes to all as nature has no respect of a person but spiritual suffering need never be and is chosen. It was an ignorant choice. When Jesus sets you free you’re free indeed.
