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!

Psalm Eight

This is one of my favorite Psalms because the Holy Spirit spoke through David's heart about how special and valuable we are to God! At Good Friday service, the Pastor said something that blew me away, he quoted a scripture from the book of Hebrews 12:2, "For the joy set before Him (Jesus), He endured the cross." Then, he looked out at us in the congregation and said, "YOU were that joy!" Yes sisters and brothers, Jesus endured the cross, not just the physical torture but He carried our sins upon Himself to where His Father had to look away from Him, all because He was thinking of spending eternity with US! Jesus had never known separation from His Father (separation from God is what hell is) and because God is holy He could not look upon His beloved son while our sins were being paid for by Him! The darkness that fell upon Golgotha that day was the wrath of God being poured on our precious Lord and Savior Jesus, FOR US. Jesus finally cried out, "Father, why have you forsaken me!", not because of the physical pain but because He was separated from His Father due to our sin! He endured it though, till the curtain in the temple was torn from top to bottom, representing that sin would no longer separate us from God, because our debt was paid in full by the blood of Jesus!

Psalm eight starts and ends with praise..."Oh Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! In between those praises are words of how God wants us to have hearts like innocent children,  how He has trusted us with all of His creation, to respect it and care for it, and David at one point asks God, "Who are we that You are even mindful of us, that You would care for us?" Well, I think Hebrews 12:2 says it all, we are His children, the joy set before Him. He sacrificed everything for us because He wants to spend eternity with us! Right now, God allows the sun to shine on the good and the bad, but a day will come, either by our physical death or His return for us, that the chaff and the wheat will be separated! Those who believe in His sacrificial love will go and spend eternity with Him in the light! Those who choose not to believe, will be separated for eternity from the light of life.

Choose this sacred holiday to open your heart to God's love, to Jesus. Invite Him into your heart as your Savior and to be Lord of your life! For God so loved YOU that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life! John 3:16

Why should we ever say, "I don't deserve God's love...not after the things I've done." When THE WORD OF GOD SAYS..."You have made man a little lower than the heavenly beings and You have crowned him with glory and honor." Psalm 8:5. God doesn't bless you because you deserve it, He blesses you because you have accepted His Son's gift of pardon! Because of the blood of Jesus, our sins that are red as scarlet are now white as snow! (Isaiah 1:18). Our transgressions are removed as far as the east is from the west! (Psalm 103:12) In Christ you are free and clean!
