"Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst." (1 Timothy1:13 NIV).
This scripture reminds me who I am: a sinner who is saved by Jesus Christ. I'm so humbled when I remember my true place in life and realize once again, what Jesus Christ did for me. During these last days of the month and my last blog in November, I wanted to be thankful for Jesus, our greatest gift. We will celebrate in December His holy virgin birth, but now I want to focus on His last days here and all that He sacrificed for me.
Because of Jesus in my heart I will not perish in hell, but live eternally with Him in heaven. Because of Jesus in me I have hope. Because of Jesus in my heart I know where I am going when I die. Because of Jesus in me there is more to life than what happens on this earth and heaven will be better than I can imagine.
"Give thanks in all circumstances for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus," (1 Thessalonians 5:18 NIV).
No matter how much sorrow or pain or difficulty I experience in my life I can look forward to eternity with Jesus Christ, my Savior. This world is not my home; it is not the end if I believe in Christ as my Savior.
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful, Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him," (Colossians 3:15-17).
Thank you, God the Father, through Jesus Christ, my Savior.
As always, Gloria, you seem to take my scattered thoughts and speak to my heart. Thank you, my dear friend.
