Besides the basics there is nothing special about me that you should know other than the fact that my existence is for Christ. Before I knew Christ I did not know what true happiness and joy was until Christ broke down the walls of my life, then and only then did I know what true genuine joy was and is. A type of joy that is lasting, satisfying, completing, and not temporary that just last the night. In my life I've learned that there is something more to this life than what I see, something infinitely deeper, and greater outside of me. I have learned that its not about me or about how I want my life to be. But its about Christ who died on the cross for my sins, its about the depth of His love for me and the world that kept Him nailed to the cross, its about His grace that unveiled my eyes and softened my heart to see & to be touched by Him, its about the Great Commission, its about Him transforming me and believers from glory to glory, its about reaching the ends of thee earth to know Christ and His free gift. Because one day at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and those on earth, and those under the earth and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord Phil 2:10-11. I have learned that being a good person, following the 10 commandments will not bring me to heaven for its says Isaiah 64: 6 All of our good works are like filthy rags. i have learned that there is only one way to heaven, and its through Jesus Christ John 14:6 Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth, the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." I've learned that it is not about religion, but a relationship with the living God. My joys consists of seeing His glory, feeling His presence in my life, and seeing His fingerprints in my life whether at work, starbucks, conversations, relationships, etc. Whether through losses, defeats, failures, and sins His overflowing grace of love, strength, wisdom, faithfulness etc sustains me to keep walking in His ways. There are times when I remember the life I once lived before I came to know Christ, and when I look back to where I was and where He has brought me, I can never go back to the life I once lived. Once you have seen and tasted His love and goodness you can never return to anything less. Through storms and trials there seems to be this never-ending fire and joy that continues to burn in my heart, and I know that it is Christ alone. During times of trials, storms, doubt and uncertainty it is then that You allow me to draw another step deeper and closer to You in a more personal level . . its a fellowship and communion that I cannot merely describe in words.
