There is a Time for Every Season Under Heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1

As the years have gathered my days, I've grown. I have come to a point in my life where I truly enjoy God! I let Him love me and I love Him back! I let Him comfort me and I then go and comfort others. I don't blame God any more but, I see Him in everything! The journey IS life, we will never arrive as long as we walk on this earth so I've learned to see each day, each moment as a chapter in my life's journal whether it be a great day or a dark season, God is in it with me.

I'm also aware that the enemy is always prowling about with one mission in mind, to rob me of my joy and to get me to doubt God. There are times when I lend ear to the whispered lies and I become ensnared. Not for the long lengths of time as when I was younger and thought God was responsible for pain and suffering. I've grown in the grace and knowledge of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and I find myself falling much less and for shorter periods of time. That's because I read God's Word each day and I have a personal relationship with Him!

I have struggled with worthlessness because of the things that happened to me in my life. Growing and healing is a process and He is teaching me about many things that I look forward to sharing! This blog is a place for my thoughts to find their voice! I hope you enjoy visiting here just as if you were going to a friends house.

Jesusdeevah is a name I chose because it reminds me that I am set apart, special, precious and treasured by my Father in Heaven! So much that He sent His only beloved Son, Jesus, to suffer and die for me! Then, on the third day He rose from the grave and conquered sin and death so that I could be with Him forever! The lie is that I'm worthless, the truth is that I am worth dying for!

John 3:16,17... For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life! God did not send His Son into the world to condemn it but to save it!

Pride

My name is Pride. I am a cheater. I cheat you of your God-given destiny because you demand your own way. I cheat you of contentment, because you think you deserve "better than this." I cheat you of knowledge, because you already know it all. I cheat you of healing, because you're too full of anger to forgive. I cheat you of holiness, because you refuse to admit when you're wrong. I cheat you of vision, because you'd rather look at yourself in a mirror than look out a window. I cheat you of genuine friendship, because nobody's going to know the real you. I cheat you of love, because real romance demands sacrifice. I cheat you of greatness in heaven, because you refuse to wash another's feet on earth. I cheat you of God's glory, because I convince you to seek your own. My name is Pride, I am a cheater and you like me because you always think I'm looking out for you but that's not true, I'm looking to make a fool out of you. God has so much for you, but don't worry...if you stick with me....you'll never know any of it!
