When I started blogging less than a year ago, I was delighted to find so many Christians out there that believe as I do. My far away friend, Melissa Presser has been an inspiration to me. She is an attorney, living in Florida, has three adorable children, is an amazing writer and a zealous Christian. Her life has taken her in many directions causing her to seek the truth, which she found in the Word of God and the love of the Messiah, Jesus, Christ.
Melissa was born into the Jewish faith and like the apostle Paul, was well-schooled in her religion. I am inspired by the joy she exhibits in the freedom she now has in Christ and she reminds me how important that is to all of us.
I am honored to have her share what is on her heart today from the book of Hebrews – which we are currently studying at my church Bible study.
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Hebrews 4:13
You know, God sees everything. Our hopes and our dreams. Our ugliness. Our inside and our out. He is the all powerful, all knowing risen Lord. He has been since the beginning of time the Lord our God, Commander in Chief of the heavens and the earth. And His eyes roam to and fro to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him. And I am committed. And I am free.
I write this post to you in a great state of distress. I have to. Because it shows the power that God has in the suffering, the hurt and the agony of man. It shows that through the tears of the walls of my heart, I have an unending joy, one that can never be stolen from me. If I only wrote in my joy about my faith in Christ, how would you ever believe me?
All last week, the kids and I studied Deuteronomy 31:6, it was their memory verse I assigned to them:
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
I memorized it too, using it in context during the week with them and encouraging them to hide it in their hearts. Never did it cross my mind that the verse would be for me. But the Lord knows ahead of time what trials we will face, and He sees and knows all.
I am grateful to the God I serve who knows my thoughts before I think them, my mistakes before I make them and my tears before I shed them. To God be the glory
Today she has agreed to share what’s on her heart today:
About atimetoshare.me
As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension.
I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog.
I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ.
My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.
