There is no other place in this world where I am more comfortable than in the presence of God's people, God's Holy place and among the Spirit of the Almighty; wherever it might be. There is no greater joy in my life than knowing a life has been transformed by HIS SOVEREIGN GRACE AND ALMIGHTY POWER! Oh what a change grace has wrought.
Sunday's used to be a welcomed day of rest, but now it's no longer just a day of rest, rather a day for spiritual renewal and fellowship with friends. There is no other day in the week which I love more than Sunday.
(How I adore God's special little treasures.God help me to be a good example by which they will not stumble.)
My heart resounds the words of this beautiful song...
I've been given something that does not contain a price
This jewel has been a precious one,
It's rays have touched my life
It's a heritage of holiness and to it I will hold on
Lest I lose this precious vision, that Generations have passed on
I don't wanna' lose the vision,
I don't wanna' take for granted
The heritage of holiness that has been passed on
I don't wanna' lose the fire
I don't wanna' lose the glory and
I LONG FOR HIS OUTPOURING all across the land
If this plan of salvation would have required a price, I am afraid I would not have been able to afford it. Rather, Christ paid my price with His precious life and I was offered this treasure for the mere worth of my sinful life, and oh... what a change. I have gotten the best part of the trade. A life ruined and wasted, for a life rich in mercy, forgiven and new. Oh what a wonderful story of love... the story of Christ, my Lord is truly THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD!!! But more than just a story, it's my reality. I'm living proof.. it works!
Glory be to God!!

I am, like you were, uncomfortable going to church or church functions. Many years ago I left the church. I was very angry and very bitter towards God. Thankful, a few years after leaving, I realized that my anger was misdirected and that I was angry at Christians, not Christianity. Because of that, I am still hesitant to return, but I feel hopeful in knowing that my faith will only grow and strengthen, so that I can join the church again, joyfully, as you have.
You have a wonderful blog, keep it up.
Lisa, you left me a message on my blog and I thank you for that. I appreciate your kind words!
A word regarding your latest post, "love and hate." I am single and in my early 30's. I have never been married and have often longed for nothing more than to have a family. A few years ago I was told I may never have children due to some medical complications which I was completely unaware of. Having no spousal prospect, this news came as a torrent of destruction to my hopes and dreams. I have still not yet married and silence and solitude are often my only companions. I have a dog now, which is a blessing, but there is nothing that can replace the love and company of a family. How do I know, because I cherish the memories of the one I grew up in and I long for the family I see my friends enjoy. Look up, dear heart, take hope in the one that entrusted these little treasures to you. I can only borrow children for moments, but you are blessed to have them for a lifetime. :) Psalms 121 God has NEVER failed anyone, defeat is not a word that he will ever know... claim victory through Him for ALL THINGS!
