I have been redeemed by the blood of the lamb, Jesus paid the penalty for my sins. That is the most dramatic and life changing act of love.
I have a friend who sticks closer than a brother.
"But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death,
nor life
nor angels,
nor principalities,
nor things present,
nor things to come,
nor powers
nor height
nor depth
nor any other created thing
shall be able to separate us from the love of God
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 8:37-39

I am here! I am alive!
Faithfulness throughout life's good and bad, he is like my life raft in this meandering river of up and downs which I know leads to eternal life.
Why did he chose to save me? It is his ultimate sacrifice that has made me worthy to sit with him at his Father's dining table in heaven.
Like Job, God has put me through so many trials and tribulations but knowing that Jesus loved me enough when sometimes it feels like I am all alone and unloved by everyone.
As the hymn goes "Great is thy faithfulness." However, my bear witness hymn is "Jesus bids us shine". I shine for him in my own way just a little candle in a dark cruel world. Even when I don't feel like it, like now, God draws me to help others and bear witness. If you are reading this, I am praying for you!

I was depressed, hurting, and lonely on the verge of divorce, from a man with substance abuse (alcohol), the verge of an affair & completely lost. I was struggling financially, & had insomnia. Looking back I (we) needed God!
I had fallen away from God, in my teens & early adult years, having been brought up in a Christian home. I suddenly found myself trapped in a sinking/loveless marriage. We were doing an addition & remodel on our home, in the vain attempts of trying bettering ourselves, plummeting even further into debt!
Just when I thought there was nothing left, my husband (a previous Catholic) said that he had found a marriage counselor for us. He said he had talked to her on the phone for almost an hour & thought she would be someone I would like because she was a woman & a Christian.
My Husband used to think that Christians were all over the top & sort of crazy, running around shouting things like “AMEN!” & “Hallelujah!” For him to have chosen her was an amazing sacrifice on his part!
We went to her for almost 2 years. Her encouraging us with God’s word & prayer, & pointing our own faults outs & telling us to get involved in a good Church. It was like we had, had a wound that was reopened, all the way down to the bone, and after every visit a little bit of the deep hurt, was healed & the pain taken away. God used her to heal most of that wound we still have scars though!
Just before Christmas we got involved in a small local Bible chapel, in our town… We live in a huge city but to find that small church was like finding a diamond in the rough! I say small, only about 165 people! We try to go every Sunday, when we can. My insomnia is gone; we are purposing to get out of debt (& to owe no man anything but love). Our marriage is so much stronger & full of love. Our 3 year olds behavior has improved 10 fold. We both try to learn what God wants for ourselves as well as our family. I wish & pray that all families or individuals might have the experience that we have had that results in finding great joy in living for Christ, the way he teaches us to!

He has turned my fortunes around without my having done anything to warrant such love and blessings. I'm not even born again or even a church goer but he has without holding back blessed me with a beautiful family,helped me overcome alcohol 7 years ago and just recently gave up smoking. My finances are about to take a turn for the better so many times over and still keep in mind that I have done nothing to warrant this love that is so so so consuming.

I've been through a lot of troubling times and if it hadn't have been for the love of Jesus i don't know what track my life would have ended up on because the love of Jesus made me more humble and gave me a sense of peace within myself and I'm so thankful to him for never leaving my side.

For wothout Him I wouldn't be able to say my favourite saying of 'Jesus Christ!'
Why He makes me realise on a daily basis how stupid people are for not seeing the evidence placed in front of them. How stupid people are for believing absolute tripe written by hundreds of different people, about a man.
Hopefully one day people will wake up and smell the coffee. The 'love' you feel from Jesus is your mind making you think you have 'accepted' him into your heart. It is you that changes your life. People who dont believe or love Jesus are able to manage their feelings and lives quite capable thankyou very much.
An absolute load of tosh. Get a life. God there are some real sad people in this world.

Not so very much, but whereas before I was taking the world on all on my own I now know there is someone who has been through all that the world can throw at you and defeated sin and death completely. This gives me some comfort.

When I became a child of God, I took on a new nature, God's nature. God's love for me is unconditional, and so I seek to love others in the same way, to see them through Jesus glasses.

The love of Jesus kept me from ending my life, and since then He has called me to speak of His love to people in foreign countries as a missionary.
