New LIfe Through Jesus

Hi,
This is my new blog. I haven't had one in 2 years. Life has been teaching me many lessons, and I think I need a place to vent and structure my thoughts. Writing is a great outlet, and I type a whole lot faster than I write on paper. So here goes...

A lot has happened in the 2 years since I had my last blog. My last blog shows an incredibly different person, both on the inside and outside. I think I needed a fresh piece of paper so I don't let the past thoughts from my old blog cause me to feel down. My spirit has been transformed through Jesus Christ. Now, before you go off and write me off as a zealot (for those non-religious reading this) I have a lot to share about how I used to be and what changed...ONE THING caused me to make more positive life choices. And I'm grateful to have met Him and become the new person I am today, not through my own power, but through finding Jesus Christ to be the center of my life and being.

Ok, so I am a zealot. But guess what? This really is the best life I've ever lived, as the child of an Almighty Father who is incredibly loving, omnipotent, comforting, true and powerful and all mighty...and I want to share more about it. He plans for me, takes care of me, knows my every need and He never let me down...and He never will cause through it all. He's been the only one to see me with His eyes and guide me at every step, whether the action was little or small I knew He was there by the "coincidences" that occured or the way things worked out. Even the heartbreak of the last 2 years turned out for my good. I learned so much through weathering the storm-things like faith, grace and God's endurance and love through all. I just want to be just like Him. I want to say I love Him with all my heart and soul. Anything I have that might be a source of glory for Him. Now how could I possibly want to do something like this?? I mean..do I just automatically just develop this much awe and faith in a deity just because I know Him to be true? No. Jesus is VERY real in my life and in my eyes. I've been through so much. I've known His love. And because I know God's love, His justice, His goodness and how real He is...I cannot give enough love back. That's how much love has caused me to change. Because God is love. And God is very real. His sacrifice on the cross is the ultimate form of love for me. I cannot overlook that. His love not only changed it, it makes me want to give back-to love as He did, to obey as He did, to be as real as He was with others and God, to show mercy and challenge someone else to be a better person. All in the name of God. A broken heart cannot be healed with interactions with the world, but only through the mercy, grace and love of Jesus Christ..through the actions of another who shows the love of JChrist.

I had a revelation today about true love.
