Hello Everyone, Good Morning I have a lot to say today. Let us start off with this. 💌

It has been quite hectic here lately and we’ve been through many little and big issues. The most important thing is to hold fast to the word of God, stay strong, and do not lose faith! Especially when things seem unsure and answers are not to be seen. God has your best interest at heart and He knows best. One of the reasons I stand on  –John 10:10. God wants us to have abundant lives.  The enemy wants to separate us from God’s love and the enemy gets pleasure from seeing us suffer. That is why it is important to not get lost in the maze of chaos and strife. I know it’s extremely difficult and frustrating. Especially when you don’t feel like you matter or feel like you can’t get ahead. You may not see a way out of the struggles.  You’re overwhelmed with stress and anxiety….. Yet I am here to remind you – Don’t get lost in the trials! Work on embarrassing the joys no matter how small they may be. If you lose sight of the good you are letting the enemy win if so. Yes, it is harder said than done but not impossible. Even if we have to do it many times a day. Giving it to God and letting go of what we cannot do or handle is important. It not only gives us peace when we do but it is also healthier for our bodies. Sure there may be ways we can fix things if forced. If we are stripped financially or broke in another way. Yet if we trust God we see and receive solutions we couldn’t even imagine.

“But Amy….. You don’t understand what I am going through.” You’re right maybe I don’t or can’t. I do, however, know how hard life can get. I have a long list of trials that I have survived and overcome. Time after time. I saw God solve issues and give miracles with my own eyes when I let go and let God take it into his hands. Even when I held onto them and solved them on my own. I can count in just the last two years. However, letting go and letting God gave me much better results than I could imagine more than my own imagined solutions. I am still waiting for some prayers. I know God is working on them still and I will see the results eventually because God has never left me. The fact I am still on this earth is proof of that.

 

I’ve learned there’s always something going on. How you choose to face it is what matters…. I have seen some of the strongest believers I know lose sight of God’s love and decide to follow trends and desires. They spend their lives seeking what they already had with God elsewhere. Sadly I watched them suffer turning their backs on God. I say suffer because The world and our desires don’t fill that void in our hearts and lives like Jesus does. even I turned my back on God once looking elsewhere for answers once. That is not the answer. I found more fear and hate than I would ever wish on anyone. God is Love which I will get into further down in this post.

God sent Jesus so we can have eternal life and live  Abundantly.  Not to live a life of fear. Forgetting who has our backs and. Our Father God. -1 John 4: 17-18 “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.”

I truly believe that God made us all unique and we all have a purpose fults and all.  When we accept  Christ Jesus into our lives we become stronger and grow in ways that you may not understand.  Being a believer doesn’t mean we won’t suffer. But we have tools others don’t.  We have the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and our Father God on our side.

 –Ephesians 6:12 “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”

Amen- and don’t forget ⬇️

     -Romans 8:  26 – 39 King James Version⬇

26 And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. 27 And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. 28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. 29 For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And having chosen them, he called them to come to him. And having called them, he gave them right standing with himself. And having given them right standing, he gave them his glory.  31 What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? 32 Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33 Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us the right standing with himself. 34 Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God’s right hand, pleading for us. 35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 36 (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.” 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I know I’ve given you a lot of process but I also pray for you to have a sound mind, and one of wisdom, a spirit of fear…. But of love…  Love is what keeps us going It is more powerful than fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 King James Version    For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.  [ You can’t have self-discipline without a sound mind. ] Love is powerful and a blessing.

Next time you’re in a situation where you have fear, anger, stress, or something else. Ask yourself what verse should you stand on through this.  Remind yourself that God loves you just as much as He loves Jesus…..

You can’t earn that love because He gives it willingly and freely!

You are important and special ❤️ What you’re dealing with matters to God just as much as what other’s are dealing with. Don’t compare yourself or your issues with other people because everybody has unique experiences and walks with God.  You are unique and have value. Don’t dwell on your issues either find your footing and lean on Jesus because He is here for you always! I know easier said than done. It has taken me years of practice and still have times where I break down.  I’m human after all – As are you… Don’t hold onto your faults Jesus isn’t –  so you shouldn’t either.  

⬇️One last thing you are not in this alone. Jesus is with you!⬇️

Why am I posting this here and not on www.DeeplyrootedInHim.net  I felt the need to write early this morning around 1am. I was going through old drafts like I always do and I found this one from March. It was recent to my personal life and others around me right now. Usually, when I find a post like this I move it to Deeply Rooted in Him. But this time I felt led to keep it here for those who may not know God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit and I want to reach out to you who Question and are curious. My faith is a part of who I am. I am who I am because of the struggles I have overcome and grown from thanks to the Lord. I want you to know that He is here for you and Loves you just as much as He loves me. As stated above in 1 John; John 3:16, and John 10:10. Those aren’t just words, but a love letter reaching out to you. I am not just saying that. It is true, despite what you have been told or think You are loved and you have value and you matter! If you want Jesus in your life too all you have to do is ask. It is that simple!

Thanks for your time and I hope this helps you in some way.
