Jesus Freak

I'm having a period right now where I feel a bit dry. I look back at days gone by and wonder where the passion and love for Jesus has gone. It is easy to be discouraged and make bad decisions.


My encouragement for myself and anyone else going through this is...DON'T DO IT!


You may think one bad decision doesn't hurt too much...but it does! One bad decision leads to another leads to another and all of a sudden you are in a place you never wanted to be but feel you are trapped in it (you are not, there is ALWAYS a way out and God's Hand is stretching out to grab you).


God is Faithful, God doesn't let us down, God delivers. I saw that clearly reading the Bible this week. In Esther, Haman wanted to kill off all the Jews. But it just so happened that God has Esther, a Jew, as Queen to be able to influence the King to stop this. Esther's Uncle and Guardian, Mordecai, put it like this..


Esther 4:14
For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father's family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position for such a time as this?


But, of course, my passion and love for Jesus hasn't gone. It is as strong as ever. I'm just like the rest of mankind, I doubt myself and I am not fully faithful to God all the time.


But PRAISE the LORD for this verse...


2 Timothy 2:13
if we are faithless, he will remain faithful, for he cannot disown himself.


We are not perfect and for the rest of our lives we never will be BUT God is so Good and He always will be.
