From the moment
I ANSWERED JESUS' INVITATION
and
RECEIVED HIM as my LORD AND SAVIOR,
I have been told by others
that I need to get
HELP.
I wondered what they were talking about,
because I now had THE ULTIMATE HELPER in my life~
JESUS CHRIST.
I not only wondered,
but
I even questioned if
JESUS was enough
and if maybe
I needed MORE HELP.
As a good student,
I dug into the scriptures
and had to find out all that was wrong with me,
because JESUS wasn’t enough to make me enough.
Looking back over those times,
GOD used them all for my GOOD,
as HE made me fall in LOVE with HIS WORD
and fall in LOVE with HIM and HIS SON.
And today,
as I am still told that I
NEED HELP,
I am finally closing that
DOOR
on those words that sting.
I know I needed HELP, as everyone does.
As I am a sinner, who JESUS died for.
Am I claiming to know it all
and that I am so PERFECT
that I don’t need to be accountable
for when I continue to fall short?
Not at all.
I look up to
MY HELPER,
to my JESUS,
who RECEIVED IMPERFECT me,
and who hasn’t stopped taking me
deeper into a relationship with HIM,
for where HE reveals more of HIMSELF
as
HE removes more of my stinky flesh
that strives to overtake me
and
tell me that I am not enough
and that
I NEED to be PERFECT
in order for others to LOVE me.
I am not PERFECT.
I will never be PERFECT.
I tried that lifestyle,
and you know what,
you find out how IMPERFECT you are
and how badly you do NEED HELP.
And there HE is.
JESUS stands at the
DOOR of your
HEART,
knocking so hard
with HIS LOVE
to INVITE HIMSELF into your
IMPERFECTED~NESS,
so that HE becomes what you really
NEED
in order to continue to walk through this life
beyond your IMPERFECT self.
Because when you admit
that you are IMPERFECT
to the PERFECT ONE,
HE wraps HIS ROBE of RIGHTEOUSNESS around you
that fits you PERFECTLY
as HE looks into your eyes and says,
YOU ARE ALL MINE
&
I LOVE YOU
&
LET'S DO LIFE TOGETHER.
So to those who are
constantly telling me that
I NEED HELP,
thank you for caring for me so much.
As I know I NEED HELP.
And I found THE HELP that
I always NEEDED.
For on that one day,
when I fell on my knees
INVITING JESUS into my LIFE,
HE became more than just a HELPER,
for HE is my LIFE,
Because
"I know the only reason
I can stand here unashamed, Is not because I'm worthy. It's all because of mercy. There's no way that I could earn it. Praise GOD my debt is paid. It's not because I'm worthy It’s
ALL BECAUSE OF MERCY"
