Father, Son & Holy Spirit . . .

The past 60 days have been an experience which is hard to put into words.  In my life, I never thought I would be able to learn so much in such a short time.  In my attempt – as a mere human being – to go out to serve & bless others, I discovered the Lord’s blessing stowed upon me – in abundance – instead. 

God has humbled me to point at which I’m convinced that in myself, I am nothing – I am powerless to achieve/contribute anything in my own authority.  The beauty of this revelation is the fact that I am completely & ultimately left over to God’s grace & - I can do EVERYTHING through HIM that gives me strength (Philippians 4:13).

Throughout my life I’ve depended on my own ability & competency to survive.  I desperately searched for joy & fulfillment in various earthly things.  I was happy, but never truly content – I knew my happiness was a product of my circumstances.  I’ve learned that God has greater plans for me – plans to prosper me & not to harm me, plans to give me hope & a future (Jeremiah 29:11).  I’ve been fighting against Him for such a long time, not wanting to die in myself, afraid of losing my “fun-filled” life.  BUT, I’ve discovered that by surrendering to Him, I’ve received true Life, & that to the full (John 10:10).

God has blown me away & my prayer is that you also may allow Him into your life – every part of it - & into your heart! By doing so, you will truly experience that the joy of the Lord could be your strength (Nehemiah 8:10).

“Now to Him who is able to do IMMEASURABLY MORE than all we ask or imagine, according to his POWER that is at work WITHIN us, to him be glory . . . in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever & ever. Amen.”
