A wonderful love

Oh how wonderful it is to be loved by you

With you I don’t have to hide who I really am

You see me naked with every layer layed before you

Before I was formed in my mothers womb you knew me

You saw my unformed body, and as clay in a potters hands

with your loving hands you molded me

my form was not hidden from you

oh how wonderful is your work Abba,who can compare to you?

You know my deepest thoughts,before I think them

and you still choose me

broken but you still choose me

A sinner but you still choose me

Not worthy of your love but you still choose me

You find me worthy in my brokenness,In my scars and insecurities

Oh how wonderful is it to be loved by you, A love that sacrifices

A love that was hung up on a cross for me

My mind cannot fathom the depths of your love

You are full of grace and mercy

May I never depart from your love

Oh how wonderful it is to be loved by you

Your love endures forever

~Love and Light

~~Water baptism~~

02-02-2020 is a very special date for me,this is the day that I got baptized. Just to give a little bit of context of my journey with Christ ; I gave my life to the Lord back in 2009, when a friend invited me to a Saturday afternoon bible study. Ever since then i was more intrigued about God and wanted to know more about him. I started attending church,watching sermons and reading my bible.

After some time,being young and still wanting to experience life in the world ,I went astray from God and started living life by my own terms.However, God was always there with me he never left me nor forsaked me. Living life by my own terms never really satisfied me,my soul was screaming and yearning for more, I felt like there had to be more to life than the life I was living. I tried to live for God again but my fleshly desires kept on pulling me to the world,I was half in half out,Luke warm if you may call it.No matter how far I ran from God,there he was,his love kept chasing me down. I wanted to change but it was so difficult to do so. I could relate to Paul in Romans 7:15 when he said “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do”

The things I wanted to do I didn’t and the things I didn’t want to do I kept on doing. Its not until I realized that by my own strength I wasn’t able to change and had to surrender to God, and that only God has the power to help me live for him and so I stopped running away from God when things got difficult. I decided to stay and ask for God to help me change no matter how long it takes.I know I’m not perfect ,but there is a perfect savior who died for me on the cross even when I was yet a sinner so that I could have relationship with God. I know that there is nothing I can do that would make him stop loving me, and this grace made me want to change and to surrender to him. I wont say my journey has been easy but it’s definitely worth it. One thing I can say is I’m constantly seeking God , trying to be better and do better for Christ. God is working on me,molding me and shaping me to be more like him . I’m grateful that he is a loving and patient father. All he wants is our hearts he knows that we cannot change our self by our own strength,but he empowers us to be transformed into his image. I might not be where I want to be on this journey ,but I thank God I’m not where I used to be. I’m a work in progress, and I’m confident that he who began a good work in me will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6).

A saviors love

“Jesus loves me this I know for the bible tells me so”.

It is often so easy to sing a song about Jesus love for us without really understanding the magnitude of this love we sing and read about. At times it might get difficult to believe that Jesus loves you,you might ask yourself questions like can Jesus really love me? with all my flaws and bad habits,my sinful self, my non perfect self?.

Well yes Jesus loves you and he loves you unconditionally. He loves you so much that he died for you,yes you.Salvation is personal and therefore you should look at it like Jesus died for you personally, and that even if you had been the only person in this world he would still had died for you cause he loves you that much. We might not fathom and feel the truth of this all the time, but that is why we should live by faith and not by sight or our feelings. Romans 8:38-39 says that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. To know that nothing can ever separate us from his love is the best news one can ever receive.

Jesus might not love our sin or what it is that we do but he loves us and wants to have a relationship with us. Receive his love today. We love him cause he first loved us(1 John 4:19) and when we receive his love we are able to love other people like he loves them. Love your neighbor as you love yourself is one of the greatest commandments (Mark 12:30-31), but we can’t love others if we don’t love our self first. therefore it is necessary to allow God’s love to fill us and to see ourselves as he sees us,so that love can not only flow in us but through us to others.

Jesus love you (Insert your name here) Yes you believe that.
