💜 'HAVE YOU EVER?' 💜

✝️🙏🏼 Please, believe that, I am very sincere concerning the following matter, about which I'm going to write! 👩🏽💖 So, here goes...IF, I know you (well, even if I don't know you), then, I care about you, and, the condition of your "heart," and, where you'll spend eternity (Heaven or Hell)! 😘💙 Therefore, I am praying that, you will receive 'Christ Jesus,' as your personal 'Savior,' if, you haven't already! 😌💜 And, if, you are already a 'Believer,' then, I'm praying that, you will LET God help you to become ALL that HE created you to be, do EVERYTHING that HE has planned for you to do, and that, you'll live HIS "perfect" will for your life! 📖🙏🏼 I understand that, this sounds (or reads) really "corny" to some of you, but, I honestly don't care! ☺️ I simply do not want anyone's "blood on my hands," whenever, I appear before 'The Lord,' at 'The Judgment Seat of Christ' ('The Bema Judgment'), and, give an account of the life that I've lived, since the day in which I was blessed with "HIS GREAT SALVATION!" ✝️ Because, I believe the 'BIBLE,' and, I DO care about people, I do not want ANYONE to get to 'HELL!!' ✝️🙌🏼  I simply cannot keep a clear conscience, as I continue writing these posts, without using them, at least, every now and then, as an opportunity to share 'The Gospel,' and/or, my testimony, and the such, to honor my wonderful 'LORD' (please, read - Romans 3:23-25, 10:9+10, John 3:16)!  Ain't any of us gett'n outta here alive (physically)!  Each of us have an appointment with Death, that is set by God!  It is wise to be ready for the time whenever that "ole" "angel of death" visits! 🖤💔✝️💜 Recently, the realization that, NO matter what "happens" in my life...that I love (because, HE first loved me - 1 John 4:19) and trust, 'The Lord,' has been extraordinarily comforting to me. 💜🙌🏼 And, HIS GRACE is a large contributor to this phenomenon, also! 💜🙌🏼  It is ironic that, ANY good in which I possess, does not originate with me! 😏 It's ALL given to me by God, and, this even includes the faith that it took for me to see the 'TRUTH' of 'The Gospel of Jesus Christ,' and, say, "yes," to Jesus! 😗😙😚✝️  I still remember my first part in a Christmas play at a small country church whenever, I was very young! 🎁 Here ya go..."baby Jesus came to earth 🌏 to save us ALL from sin...HAVE YOU EVER opened up your ❤️ heart, and, LET 'The Lord Jesus' in?" See, I really do remember it!! ✝️ I didn't get saved then (I did several years later), but, I DID believe (mentally) it!! 💝 Another component of HIS unmerited (by me) goodness to me, is HIS unconditional love for me, and, everyone! 💜 For years of my life, I dealt with this vague sense (imagined) that, God was angry with me because of my imperfections, and, HE only loved me when my behavior was "good," and, didn't accept me, consistently. Therefore, I couldn't, accept and love, myself. 😢 I don't know exactly why I felt so unworthy, because, I really, loved and wanted to please, people?! 🤔 It has taken me years to understand that, God unconditionally loves me, and, accepts me (in Christ)! 💝 HE is still - teaching, showing, reminding, etc. me this, and, SO many other truths - many of which, my "old man" (the flesh) fights! 😤 And, those EVIL forces that, have been tormenting me - since I was conceived in my momma's womb, do NOT want me to GET these TRUTHS, nor, VICTORY!  They fight - anything and everything - that may - glorify and honor - GOD (against me, and ALL of HIS children)!! 👺😈👹 I am grateful for the truth of 'The Cross,' and that, my victory is, through and in, what 'The Lord' accomplished on it! ✝️🙌🏼 I'll never be "good enough" for HIS - love, acceptance, approval, etc., in myself, BUT, by being 'in Christ,' and, Christ (Holy Spirit) living in me, I am!!! PTL!! 🙌🏼 It is based on what HE did, and NOT, on what I'll never be able to do!! Well, glory!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 When God looks at me, HE sees Christ! 👁✝️💜 HE sees me, "in the beloved!" 👁✝️💜 Jesus, offered HIMSELF as the "sacrifice for sin," and, LET them nail ALL of my sins (everybody's) to that 'OLD RUGGED CROSS,' and, simultaneously - became 'SIN' for me, and YOU!! ✝️ He died, was buried, and AROSE!! ✝️ My VICTORY is - IN and THROUGH - HIM!!  I am also SO very thankful for the 'free will' in which HE gave me, so that, I could make the wise choice (this wisdom was given to me by HIM) to say, "yes," to HIS gracious offer of HIS wonderful, free GIFT of Salvation (JESUS)!! 🎁✝️💖 As proof that, I remain on earth, and, am not yet "changed" completely, and, am not yet in possession of my celestial body, etc., I oftentimes fall short, and, fail HIM, however, HIS GRACE IS SUFFICIENT!! 😩 So, I am constantly reminding myself of the truths about which I've previously written here, and, other Biblical truths, praying, quoting Scriptures, listening to sermons and Bible teaching, encouraging myself (in The Lord), and the such! 📖🙏🏼🎶 I am often unable to truly, 100%, ACCEPT, EVERYTHING that Christ has, made me, and given me, because, it "seems" "too good to be true" (it IS), I KNOW me, and, how I fail HIM (if I am not "walking in the spirit" / Galatians 5:16+17) and, who I desire to be, although, I sincerely desire to please HIM!  The fact that GOD, unconditionally, loves and accepts, me is SURREAL! BUT, HE DOES!!  HIS glorious ways are just completely contrary to the ways of the world, with which, I'm accustomed!  😮 Undeserved - AMAZING GRACE is continually being bestowed upon me!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼...🎶"'twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and, grace - my fear relieved...how precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed!" - John Newton 🖤 Why would anyone reject this - TRULY AMAZING GRACE?! 🤔 PLEASE, DO NOT reject JESUS /GRACE!  PLEASE, say, "YES," to CHRIST JESUS / GRACE / LOVE / MERCY / FORGIVENESS / ETC., ETC.!!! 🙏🏼✝️💜...👋🏼...until next post...
