Do you have a story of Christ's wonderful love that you would like to share?

Question

Praise God to the highest!! All glory be unto him!! May Jesus continue to work in all of your lives!

I thank all of you.. I have moved to a different state and have been working hard, and have not been to church in a while and all i get is the everyday doubt and filth from society and TV. This overwhelming fellowship in Jesus has comforted me. Paise be to his Precious name.:)

Answer 1

Isa 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

Answer 2

The Lord works in mysterious ways.....
I was 19, and at the lowest point I could ever get to in life, too many problems to mention, mom had passed away, alcoholic dad, boyfreind of 9 yrs. cheating.. blah, blah. My sister (a believer but not a Christian), said to me something I will never forget (it was quite a shock coming from her in the first place) I was on the verge of suicide and she said "What is the first thing that someone does when they are in trouble?", even an Atheist will do this... they say "Oh God, please help me!" My life drastically changed after that, that night I started praying, (though I wasn't sure of what I was doing) I just basically spoke to God, I did this quite often throughout the day, even on my lunch break. I cried a lot. And I read the Bible every time I prayed. I learned a lot about myself. I joined a Church, and within the next 2 weeks I accepted the Lord as my Savior and was Baptized. It has been 25 years since all that happened to me, and I know that if God hadn't put those words in my sisters mouth, I would have killed myself that evening. It's so scary for me to think about how desperate I was. I have grown so much and The Lord has been so Gracious to me and my beautiful family. The most important thing I learned is, you have to have Faith in the Lord, no matter what, he will always do what is best for you. You have to remember that you have NO control over what happens, just accept it (no matter what it is) and move on, there is a reason for everything. He has always been there for me in good times and bad, and he will do the same for you. GOD BLESS! and thank you.

Story #1- I once was dating this guy, and he had picked up a temp job. I wasn't too excited about it- the other people he worked with gave me the willies. They offered to take him on full-time, which would have required a lot of traveling. He asked me what I thought about it, and a voice came into my head (I believe it was the voice of God). The voice was almost panicky, and it said, "NO! Don't let him go!"
I told him I didn't think it was a good idea, so he didn't take the job. Later he proposed to me, and we've now been very happily married or over 6 years.
I believe that God wanted him not take that job so that he would be around, so we could marry. We are both very thankful for our relationship, both with each other, and with Jesus.

Story #2- I am currently caring for my aging grandfather. I have been struggling with feeling up to the task- a lot of self-doubt- am I doing enough, is the job I'm doing satisfactory, etc. I was blessed by a friend, and he said that my grandmother (Grandpa's wife of 70+years, and dead almost a year) was very pleased with the job I've been doing, caring for her sweetheart. Imagine the relief and comfort!! I know that Jesus sent that information to me because He knew I was struggling and that I needed that comfort.

Answer 4

One morning I was going to work..I was so tired and frustrated and I wanted a soda so bad but I was short 5 Cents. I usually say a little prayer in the quiet of the morning,before going into the classroom.I Told the Lord that I was so tired and I wanted a soda very bad but I didn't have enough money...I was being scarcastic really..when I asked God if I could borrow a nickle. When I walked up the parking lot I looked down on the sidewalk and there was a dime laying there. I asked for a nickel and God gave me a dime. I'll never forget that.

Answer 5

I wrote this when I became a Christian...

I was always interested in Christianity; I read the Bible and even spoke with Christians about their beliefs. I recognized that Jesus was a teacher, but not that he was the son of God. I understood that Jesus 'apparently' died for the world, but not for me as an individual. I knew that evil existed, but I denied the existence of the devil.

To me Christianity seemed boring, and giving your life over to Christ meant that you were weak. How could I be an individual and a servant of a false God? A God only created by humanity to give us something to live for?

At the time I truly believed that I attempted to look at it with an 'open mind'. Little did I know that to gain a true understanding of Christ, you had to look at it with not an open mind, but an open heart.

It was like I lived my life collecting the pieces of a very intricate puzzle. I studied each one, trying to learn everything about it, before throwing it in the pile in the back of my mind. When someone asked me something about Christianity, I'd sift through the pile, only to retrieve a few random pieces.

When I asked Jesus into my life, everything changed.

The puzzle was instantly put together by the Holy Spirit, and hung high in the walls of my heart. I stood there for a moment. My eyes fixed on the beautiful conclusion that was revealed to me for the first time. I smiled in awe of my new answer, so thankful, and so overjoyed to be a part of it. I was filled with a new found strength, and the desire to worship my creator.

Finally I could see the whole picture, not just the fragments of the greater whole.

Answer 6

Yes. I loved Jesus with the soul and spirit of Mother Mary. I cried for her for days and nights. In fact even now when i remember her standing under her son's cross i feel Her pain was much higher then Jesus. Jesus had a purpose and aim. She as a mother had only LOVE-BOND with Him.
I still shed tears when I meditate on Her.
Once after crying I went to sleep and got up in the middle of the night . I wrote and drew the sketches of Mother and Jesus and wrote how Mary felt.
I am no painter or a writer. The drawing is quite accurate according to me.
I look at the sketches with amazement and still shed tears for the mother's heart anfd [e-mail]

Answer 7

One is currently happening. I am a 1 pack a day smoker. I have been praying to have the strength to quit. I all of a sudden have cut down to about 7 a day, and for me this is VERY Good! When I usually have the real nicotene cravings (cause a lot of cigarrette cravings are more the habit of holding the cigarrette) he puts the feeling of satisfication in me without actually having to smoke. Yes, I am still smoking, but for me, this is amazing. I know he wants me to have self control and won't do it all for me, but his grace and mercy with the cravings have really helped! I am thankful, and I know I will get better and soon quit completely! Praise the Lord!

Answer 8

Yes, I had a sister who died at the age of 27, of kidney failure and heart failure, caused by juvenile diabetes. She never went to church, did not give God a second thought, went her own way. She drank, smoked, lived a hard life, that attributed to her condition. She was in the hospital, for a dialysis treatment for her kidney's. Later, after the dialysis treatment, her heart stopped, and a code blue was alerted. They were able to get her resuscitated, and her heart beating again. She was not the same sister/daughter/wife we all knew. She claimed she saw Jesus, and was so full of love, something she was not before. She also said that Jesus was coming back to get her soon, and that she would never leave the hospital alive. She went on to describe what she would like to be buried in, and would we please have her baby, that was stillborn, a couple years prior, dug up, and buried at the foot of her grave. She was really upsetting my Mother and her husband, and they told her to stop talking like that. But she would not, and she said she wasn't afraid, and was ready to go. Needless to say, she died a few days later. She used to tell me how terrified she was of dying, and I think it's marvelous that Jesus is so loving that he came to take her fear away, and gave her a glimpse of paradise.

Answer 9

Thanks for this opportunity, years ago in the morning on a bright winter day....my husband was at work..and I was alone in the house with my daughter. I started the day with doing housework and let my daughter sleep late since neither one of us had jobs. It was getting late and I thought I better go wake her so she can join me to watch a special tv show that morning. As I opened her door I found her lying there ....she had died during the night from a seizure.....I was not comprehending all that was happening and at the same time I knew what to do...running to the phone...etc.. calling my husband at work....and calling the police.....everything was happening so fast and my heart was in my throat....I know God was with me through all of this I could not have gotten through with this terrible loss alone.....it was too great of a loss...I give God my savior Jesus all the credit for each day I live....for helping me through that day and so many more when I've faced terrible moments and the wonderful ones....God is good...even when someone close to you dies. There is a reason for everything even if we don't get it....we are drawn closer to God when we are tested....

Answer 10

Hey Daniel. Gosh, there are so many! Just to wake up everyday with the realization that Jesus' love for us is unconditional and neverending is the most awesome thing to me. I'm thankful that I go to a great Christ centered church. There are so many people in this world that have such turmoil in their lives. When you look at them, you can't help but be aware of the great things you have in your own life. Take Care!

Answer 11

If it were not for the love of the Lord i would not be here to tell you about His wonderful grace and love. I cannot even begin to explain all the ways that the Lord has taken care of me and blest me through the years. I have not always been what I should be for Him but He has always been faithful to me. He is my gracious heavenly Father. He loves with an unconditional love. He is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother and He is always there to wipe away my tears.
Why anyone would not want to know Him baffles my mind.
