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!

So Grateful!

It's not just the flowers that should be
displayed but the thorns too! Life is
truly a story of both.
Come, let us bow down in worship. Let us get down on our knees before the Lord who made us. For He is our God and we are the people of His field, and the sheep of His hand. Psalm 95:6,7.

Just take a moment to stop and thank God, for surely, things could be worse. Take your focus off the chore or duty right now and even if you have to go hide in the bathroom for a few minutes...just stop to thank God. Don't put it off, don't feel stupid about doing it, just stop and thank God. Trust me...once you start you won't be able to stop! Think about what life would be like if you couldn't see, walk, move, hear, taste, feel....then think of all the goodness in your life.....praise God for a body that is not sick....Then, if you are really courageous, thank Him for all the problems in your life because you know that He will work all things out for good (Romans 8:28)! Even when you can't understand what seems to be a cruel infliction on your life or someone you love....remember that God is the One who loves you in it and through it! But still...focus on the blessings that make your problem easier! Find things all around you to be grateful for and that mind-set will change everything for the better! Don't cover all the goodness in life with a few bad blanket circumstances. Don't be a wall but a window for God and let His light shine through you!
