Faith In Jesus
Jesus is the son of God whose blood was shed for our sins . He also took upon Himself great affliction that we might have an abundant life. It is my theory that He wanted us to be free from our afflictions so that we could be free to do the will of Our father here on earth.
When I know that it is the will of my father to forgive others for sins that He forgives them for , I can look to Jesus to help me with it. I can even look to others who are in Christ Jesus to help me with it. I do not have to do this on my own.
There is a balance here that I think can only be found by trying to do it on your own first. Did I say,"On your own?" I mean , you and Jesus. Then, others who are in Jesus, then you and Jesus. Kind of like riding a bike. Balance.
The important thing is don't give up.
If you can not forgive someone today, do not stop trying. It is Jesus and you everyday, He is always there and He will never leave you. He is not waiting until you do everything He could do perfectly , before He will hang out with you. You are the reason He came here on earth.
This is the word of my testimony : that Jesus ever lives to make intercession for us to the Father .

Suffer
As I follow the Way through this world I find blessings.
Living by the blood of the Lamb has benefits.
They become my word of testimony as I live them.
As I live them I will learn to love not my life even unto death.
In this world we will suffer but not alone.
Jesus will never leave us or forsake us.
When Jesus came to earth as fully God and fully man the benefits of that has only half been told. Everyday I realize there was more than I realized the day before.
To think that I will learn to appreciate all of His benefits is un-fathomable. However, what joy I experience as I realize there are more and more to discover.
Jesus made the way for me to suffer with righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
His name is Wonderful, Councilor and Prince of Peace. He is Jesus.
All of the attributes that are granted us because of our faith in being sanctified through Jesus Christ our Lord become testimonies as we live them out. Share your testimony on the blog comment or start your own way of giving a word of testimony. Obeying God's Word brings freedom and joy.

He Never Let's Go Of Me
Having God with me 24/7 use to be an uncomfortable thought. Knowing that He knew everything I did was not something I wanted to think about. I wanted to know He was around when I was praying. I wanted Him to be around when I was in trouble. I certainly wanted Him to hear me when I confessed my sins. Perhaps I did want Him to be around when I praised Him, because I desired an audience.
The truth kept staring me in the face. He would never leave me or forsake me.
He didn't take bathroom breaks. He never slept. Never went to other worlds and check on them and leave me with a babysitter. Never got bored with my company and found some diversion. Always there, 24/7.
Now the benefit of that has to be looked at from the angle of knowing just who God is and what His character is.
I can not even think of one person that I would want to be with me 24/7.
There are times that I check out from the knowing that God is with me 24/7. Yet as I come to enjoy the awareness of His being here I am trying to do that less and less.
I belong to Him. If He wants to be with me 24/7 I could enjoy that if I choose. It is my choice after all , to rejoice in the Lord always, or not. In His presence is great joy. It seems kind of futile to decide not to enjoy His being here.
Yet whether I am running to Him or trying to hide from Him, He never let's go of me.
