These are some thoughts I have been reading from a book called Having a Mary Spirit- Allowing God to Change Us from the Inside Out -Joanne Weaver (such an inspiring book!);

"For in His mercy, our Heavenly Father does not leave us to ourselves. He woos us. With open arms, He lovingly draws us to Himself- for He wants a people to call His own."

(Me) God loves us more than we know or imagine.

The author talks about wrestling and she says this: “So aren’t you glad we have the best tag-team partner of all? Just when we think we can’t make it, just when we feel helplessly pinned down by some sin or compromise, the Lord calls from outside the ring, “Can I give you a hand?”

(me) I love this. The Lord wants to help us at every turn, yet we protest. Why?

She also says this; “We don’t have to squirm and scramble to find Him; we simply have to admit our need. With our asking, Jesus comes—and then all hell breaks loose. Literally. The hopeless, helpless, paralyzed feeling lifts as we see the King of the universe rushing to our aid to rescue us from out fiercest competitor, our most dangerous adversary. Ourselves.”

Me) Isn’t that true? We are our own worst enemy? We are destructive to ourselves, thwarting an abundant life, a happy life, enjoying what God has given us. Oh, we need Him but, yet we reject Him.

“But we have to invite Him. We have to call Him into the ring. That’s definitely a place to start. But getting help we need is a bit more complicated than just calling our for it. For if we ever hope to have real victory over (Me)US (the author says Flesh Woman), we must give Jesus the right to rule our lives.”

(Me) Amen. I don’t know about you but I need the Saviour to help me on my daily journey. Without Him, I would be lost, depraved and just plain miserable!

I don’t want to preach to you. You may have other beliefs, but I know that my Redeemer lives and I am trying to walk in His way. whatever comes, God's got this! 

A song I love: My Redeemer Lives- Nicole C. Mullen;

“Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning

and who taught the ocean you can only come this far

and who showed the moon where to hide til evening

whose words alone can catch a falling star?

Well, I know my Redeemer lives,

I know my redeemer lives,

All of creation testifies,

This life within me cries,

I know my Redeemer lives,

The very same god that spins things in orbit

Runs to the weary ,the worn and the weak,

And the same gentle hands

That hold me when I’m broken

They conquer death to being me victory

Now I know that my Redeemer lives,

I know that my Redeemer lives

 Let all creation testify

Let this life within me cry

I know my Redeemer lives

He lives to take away my shame and He lives forever I’ll proclaim

That the payment for my sin

Was the precious life He gave

But now He’s alive and there’s an empty grave

And I know my Redeemer lives

I know my redeemer lives

Let all creation testify

That this life within me cry

I know that my Redeemer lives

Because I can face tomorrow

He lives, I know, I know, I know.

He lives!
