I just read the post about the family love box and I loved it and want to do it soon!!! I saw another post and enjoyed hearing your story about leaving a legacy. I had a thought to share with you that is just a journey the Lord has me on. Your intro was this…”It is a Gift given by God~ He opened my Eyes when I received Him into my heart years ago~ this journey I have been so blessed to be on~ of really realizing my sin and need for a Savior~ I don’t even want to imagine what my life would look like without Christ~ It certainly would look nothing like it does~ This Vision isn’t my own~ It’s God’s ~ it’s FREE”. I agree with so much of it but what the Lord is birthing in me these days centers around the statement “really realizing my sin and need for a Savior”. I agree with the statement but Jesus is just showing me that it should be a past tense statement. The bible says I am clothed with the righteousness with Christ and that God sees me in light of what he accomplished on the cross. I am now hidden in Christ and I am a NEW creation, the old is GONE. It’s a really long conversation and it is still in the embryonic stage in my life but it is SOOOOOO refreshing!!! Like honey on my lips and water to my soul. I am not a sinner I am a saint and the more I realize that the more the “sin” that I see (not that God sees) will radically fall away. Blessings to you dear sister in Jesus!!! Keep on Keeping on like Pastor Roloffs used to say!!!
Thanks for your words. These days I too have heard His sweet whisper, “Daughter, I have taken care..permanently..of your past. The cost was..worth it. Join Me in today and hold My hand in your tomorrows”. We miss out on today with Him if we dwell in yesterday. I am talking to myself as I write this. Be blessed today..in Christ..my sister.
