I had a conversation with a friend the other day that reminded me of just how lost we all are without Jesus. It doesn't seem to matter how many years have passed since I became a Christian, I still find myself amazed at the fact that Jesus continues to pour out His love and mercy on us even though we could never begin to deserve it. Nothing we could ever do would ever make us worthy of His love and mercy.
I am constantly in awe of His mercy and love. Constantly caught up in the realization that our God is greater and bigger than anything we could ever begin to imagine. What an incredible God we serve friends. During the conversation I was also reminded of the fact that without Jesus I am nothing, but with Jesus I am made new, called, anointed, chosen, redeemed, forgiven, worthy, needed, loved, made an heir, royalty, a child of the King.
It is only through Jesus. Just Jesus and nothing and no one else. Jesus over everything, every situation, circumstance, and season. It doesn't matter what life has been throwing at you, hold on to Jesus. He is all you need friends, and His love and mercy will never fail you my friends!
"But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God's very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of darkness into his wonderful light." - 1 Peter 2:9
I love that verse. It is so important to understand that we have been chosen by God as his own special possession. His people, a holy nation, royal priests, the sons and daughters of God. He is so good friends, and if there is one thing I pray you all understand its that no matter what your situation may be, know that the goodness of God is following you. He is for you and not against you friends.
No matter what life throws your way, I pray you will always remember that it is only because of the blood of Jesus that we have freedom and joy. He is good and He is kind and His love never fails. My situation doesn't dictate my life, only Jesus. My past doesn't dictate my life, only Jesus. No matter what the season is you are walking through friends I hope you cling to that promise and remember it is only through the blood of Jesus.
Much love friends,
Alianna
