Oh, Praise God I'm redeemed


Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Well, Willard being on layoff is my excuse for not putting anything on my blog. I don't know I just enjoy spending time with him. David is off somewhere with his girlfriend, Amy. and right now Willard is off to Weldon's house to hunt some. Soooooo, I am once again alone with my crazy self. I read over my Sunday school lesson, and was not moved by anything but the title. ""What does Jesus' call mean for me?"" The writer was good in explaining how we should live our every day life's , and the expectations that God has in us. But I don't know, it just seems to me that the fellowship I have with the Lord means more to me. I don't think that the Lord expects the same thing out of all of us. After all He gave us such a diversity of talents, also different gifts. Where He may want one to go preach, He may want another to stay home and be a good parent, a good wife or husband. I don't think how or what we do has anything to do with serving God anyways. I think that we serve God in our prayer life, and in love and faith and obedience. So what does Jesus' call mean to me? It means I'm one of His, The very second that I answered that call and repented of my sins, I became one of His. That's so great in itself. That my name is written in the book of life. Oh, Praise God, hallelujah, I'm redeemed. There is such joy in serving the Lord. But alone with the joy comes sorrow too. We Christians are not immune to tragedies. We have hurts, we have heartbreaks. The difference is, we have Jesus Christ to lean on, to help us through the troubles of our lives. And though we may not get our prayers answered with a yes every time. We have the Lord to comfort us in our low times. One thing I can say for sure, Jesus' call to me was the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me.

So until next time, Remember God loves you. After all He sent His Son into this evil world, To be born as a man, and die, our sacrifice. A perpetual , one time for all time, redeeming sacrifice for us all. If you've not answered the call from Jesus, won't you do it now? There is only one way to have eternal life, and that's Jesus. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

God bless
