During worship at church several years ago thinking about how Jesus suffered on the cross – a memory flashed in my mind. It was a memory from when I was young and trying to do life on my own. I was failing miserably, addicted…lost, and falling on my knees one night wanting to end my life I cried out to Jesus, and He heard – He saved me that night. And so, while I’m worshipping, I began thanking Him for saving me from death. I heard Him say to me, “I have so much for you.” I saw myself in my mind’s eye walking forward wearing a cape, crown, and scepter. At that moment I realized that until I perceive my value and worth and how much He treasures me (and you too) I can’t walk forward in what He has for me.

Since that time, I’ve been trying to lean into who He says I am – and since then life gets better day by day. But there’s always a war between who Satan says I am compared to who God says I am. This is the challenge of the Spiritual walk with Christ. And it is here I want to encourage you to stay close to Jesus in conversation, prayer, reading the Holy Scriptures from the Bible and being in community with other Christians who can encourage you to stay close to the Truth – because that’s what He’s all about – us seeing the truth of who He is and the truth of who He made us to be in His image. I’m honored to walk the journey with you!
