Today is my “re” birthday. I had never truly publicly confessed my faith. It’s been 1 year since I left everything behind to seek the one thing I did not have, true joy! And after that, my life has turned upside down. I have been brought from death to life.
God allowed my ambition to take me to the top, but when I got there, He showed me that there was nothing for me there. I went to the best parties, events, trips, yachts, I met a bunch of celebrities, millionaires and billionaires, I had “moments of fun”, but afterwards the void was still there, I could not sleep, I was depressed, I had no peace.
Instead of being happy, we often feel ashamed, anxiety, unworthy, frustrated, and, perhaps our worst fear, we feel alone even when we have people around us, and there at our very worst that Jesus meet us.
He is not angry with us for our transgressions, he is overjoyed that he finally found us, because he left the 99 for the one lost, and there’s no shame or guilty, for in Jesus Old has gone and the New has come.
I never knew what genuine happiness was. It is something that no money in the world can buy, and anybody else can give it to you, only Jesus can. I no longer just know of Him. I know Him.
Jesus definitely is not a religion! Religion says what you must do, Jesus says: it is already done! when He says it is already accomplished, religion kills people for what they believe, those who follow Jesus die for what they believe.
I never knew what it meant to follow Jesus. Jesus is like the bitterness of coffee, you can’t see it, but you will only feel it if you taste it.
The Holy Spirit did a work on my heart and pushed me towards the right direction.
I feel something so genuine in my heart that I can go through a war and keep smiling, because I know who is going forward and fighting for me.
Most people try to fill the void by flaunting a perfect life on social media, but behind the scenes we know that the scenario is very different, because that void can only be filled by the presence of the Lord.
A heart full of hatred, sadness, anger, jealousy, vindictiveness, resentment, selfishness, and pride does not come from God… 👇🏼
