Love is a Person

  “ When you get down, let God’s  grace get you up.” He is the  ultimate comforter and He is the  shelter in the storm and He  eventually one day bring to yo u a  community that will build you up.   He has overcome the world.  This is what we have to  understand, He was able to  go through worse than what  we go through and He was  better for it. So, even though  we may feel alone we will  find rest in Him. And He  WILL send us those who are  meant to stay in our  community, so long as we  remain faithful. There has been times in my life where I would turn left and I would turn right and nobody was there. Not a single soul. I would pray to God and ask Him to send me people in my life that would be there for me so that I could finally experience friendship. I wanted to experience being wanted because I felt unimportant to just about everyone in my life.I felt abandoned, left alone. I looked for othe...

Last post we talked about relationship vs religion. So, I thought I would talk a bit more on how to build that relationship and how a true relationship helps grow on your IDENTITY and SECURITY. Because when life comes to an end the real thing that will be the focus is do we have a personal relationship with the One who created us. It isn't about if we go to church or if we grew up in a Christian home. It's about our time alone with God. Knowing God on a friend level, based on the grace that He has offered each and every single one of us. It is about being made new based on what Jesus has done for us, sacrificing His life on the cross for us. The ultimate sacrifice. the Bible tells us that we have salvation by grace through  faith, which is a gift given to everyone, no matter if they are "good" or "bad". Since Jesus lived a perfect life, His sacrifice is more than enough to pay for our inequities. As it is written in Romans 3:25. So, the way f...

Let's talk about relationship. Every single person can say they love. Every christian specifically is called to love in Matthew 22:37-40  And he said to him,  “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.   This is the great and first commandment.   And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.   On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” So what exactly does this mean, it means exactly what my other post talked about, it means to be mindful, connecting more deeply to those that exist in our life, rather than living for ourselves and what makes us happy. It means to be approachable, allowing for people to come to us when they are in need. It means having grace, just like the grace that God has for others we must be less judgemental towards them because if we receive God's grace without having the ability to provide that for others then we are hypo...

 Hey y'all, my name is Jess and I decided to start this blog as a place for people to see not only the ways that Jesus has worked in my life, but the impact that He can have in your life too. Christianity has been a big part of my identity from the day I was born. But, that is not to say that my life is perfect, my life is everything but perfect; regardless, Jesus loves me and chose me. That is why I choose to live for Him for the rest of my days. Growing up I looked for places to fit in and I always wanted a community that would accept me for who I am and help me grow in the places I needed work. And I found that in my community at Full Gospel Church. This community has allowed me to explore different things that I am good at, they also challenge me every day to be the person that I want to be: to be more like Jesus. This community gave me the willpower to make a complete 180 change in my life.  This community is open to everyone who is willing to be come and liste n. We are ...

  This video very well describes the sacrifice Jesus made for all of us.  As I said in my blog title, love is a person, and I would love to introduce Him to you. He's been waiting patiently to meet you. He’s a friend that you can always depend on.  His love will comfort you and make you complete. How long have you been searching aimlessly for something to fill the emptiness inside. Someone you can confide in. That friend is Jesus. He's waiting when you're troubled and when you’re filled with fear. Just reach out and He'll guide you when everyone disappears, He will still be there beside you, forever and by forever I mean eternity. It is amazing for me to walk on the streets and see all these different people, see all these people who are looking to humans to do what only Jesus can. This video is a good place for people to start if they are seeking a way to understand better the  word that was left for us by God.  “cannot say I've known a lot of men of wealth or ...
