My thoughts on Jesus

 When I was 12 years old I heard Jesus. I heard him say open your Bible. I heard it peacefully in my head, and when I opened it the words “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me” jumped out at me (Philippians 4:13). I hadn’t noticed this verse before, though reading the Bible was not uncommon for me, it was more of an educational or family experience. I definitely believed in him. I trusted him. I’d asked him into my heart at 7 with a lady named Mona in Sunday school in a small classroom closet with another girl. I knew he forgave me. I knew he loved me. But it wasn’t until I was 12 and I heard him say open your Bible, that I felt he was near me. 

When I read those words, my heart fell apart and gripped the meaning of those words with all of my being. I no longer felt like I couldn’t keep going. I knew I needed to trust. Trust in Jesus. That he would help me through.

And he did. And he still does. My sweet, sweet, amazing, wonderful son is only four years old. Four beautiful years old, and he tells me about sweet Jesus, and how he is in his heart. And he’s always with you. He tells me how Jesus is in all our hearts and we just… he’s just with us. He loves us. Forever. 

I don’t know how my son deeply knows these words or how his heart can process and understand all these things, except to say that Jesus is with us. He’s in all our hearts, for all who believe in him and call on his name. Jesus.

There’s no other way, than Jesus, to be saved.

I’m so thankful, incredibly grateful to know he is with me. For I couldn’t get through this beautiful life without him. And I couldn’t ever come home to his beautiful home without his grace saving me.

I trust you, Jesus. I need you in my heart. Come in and save me. Make me new. I need you. Please forgive me. I know that you are the One who is calling me. I trust in you. Love your child. Dearly loved. Forever. Amen.

You can pray it, too. Thankful for you. Jesus loves you. Forever. You are loved. You can do all things through Christ who gives you strength.
