Who introduced you
to Jesus?
If someone asked me who introduced me to Jesus
I'd probably start out by saying my parents.
I'd say my parents because I have a memory of myself being very, very
young and kneeling by my bedside hands folded, head bowed, and reciting our
bedtime prayer. I also have the memory
of saying grace before dinner. Another memory of myself as a very young child
was in the nursery at church and being taught the song- 'Jesus Loves Me'. So
I'd definitely have to say my parents were the ones who introduced me to
Jesus. My parents laid the foundation
that was built upon but it wasn't a steady building, but rather a build-up and
then a tearing down only to rebuild and tear down over and over and over again.
The only thing that has ever remain solid is the FOUNDATION- JESUS CHRIST MY
SAVIOR.
I went from being
raised a Methodist to a period of rebellion, then joining the Seventh-Day
Adventist Church only to find out a few years later that they'd apostatized
from their original beliefs and so I discontinued my membership with them. After that I entered another period of
rebellion. Then by the grace and mercy of my Savior, my Lord Jesus He pulled me
out of that rebellion and now, by His continued and constant grace I seek to
worship Him in all truth.
Do you see? It truly
has been a building upon the foundation of Jesus only to have the buildings
torn down and then built up again, and I can only hope and pray that the
building going on right now by my Savior will continue on until He returns to
takes all those who choose to be His in all truth home with Him.
Php 1:6 Being
confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will
perform it until the day of Jesus Christ
I have to believe
that through all the ups and downs, that my Savior, Jesus Christ will see me
through until He returns.
He is the good work
in me, He is the ONLY good in me!
I must be confident
that if HE began in me, that He will see me through to the very end when we can
be truly face to face.
By His amazing LOVE,
I must believe! He will save me, even from myself and especially myself and my
many failings.
Please Father in
heaven, please, through the Holy Spirit may I have the confidence I need in
Christ to do all for me, because I can do nothing myself. Please, Father in
heaven, I would be YOURS.
In the name of Your
Son, Jesus Christ my LORD and SAVIOR now and forever!
Amen.
