Jesus Is Lord

Today I am listening to Pandora and I am filled with LOVE. I love Jesus so much I want to shout it from the rooftops. I would normally post something on Facebook, but I think people are sick of seeing me loving Jesus so much on Facebook, so I'll just write about what He has done for me today. Jesus loves me unconditionally in spite of my sins. Yes I sin. A lot. I'm not proud of it and I do strive to be a good person, but I falter daily. And it doesn't matter because He still loves me.

But getting here as been a journey for me. I used to be frightened of God as a child and young adult. I remember sitting in church and the pastor saying if you want to be saved to come down to the front of the church and let us pray with you. My heart would race and I would not go. Partially because I am inherently shy, but also because I was afraid.  what does this mean? Where do I go from here? I would be running through all these scenarios as my heart raced and I would be paralyzed with fear. I couldn't hear Jesus voice back then like I do now or see Him moving in my life. But that's because my faith wasn't strong enough.

Through the years and the hard times I have sought out the Lord in times of sorrow and sadness and my faith has become infallible. There will always be times when I am not as close to God as I should be, but I am never really that far away. And a song will come on that reminds me of our journey together and I will tear up and look at my picture of Jesus I have on my desk and I'll hear Him whisper softly to me.....and I'm so grateful. Undeserving....but nonetheless grateful!
Closing with these awesome lyrics from Hillsong's "Where We Belong"...

We run to Your Throne
Where we belong
Every heart will sing
That Jesus is Lord
Casting all else aside
For the joy of our Christ
Let Your Glory fall
Our hearts are filled with Your Fire
