Love

And they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.- Act_4:13
218/365

There are some people, I have been around, that lend themselves to this verse, very easily. I don’t think, they are ever aware of the profound impact, that they have on me, and those who know them, as well.

I think it is because they have truly been into the Word of God so deeply, that they Seep the Seeds of Jesus, upon everyone they touch. I Love them so much, for they are so easy to Love. Everybody I know Loves, them as well. It is when I grew, from a small child to a more mature Christian, that I began to recognize these people, for what they are. THEY HAD BEEN WITH JESUS. And that made me want to become more like Jesus, as well. This is the type of person that I wish to emanate. It made me truly want to be like Jesus, the One that wrought Joy in my soul, as well as Peace and Strength to carry on.

They created the desire within me to emulate my Savior more completely. Not that I could ever arrive at the Perfect State of Christ, but He did say I could get as close as I desired to be, DRAW NIGH TO HIM, AND HE WOULD DRAW NIGH TO ME, ALSO. Because of this I hope, as I seek the Lord’s Face, that I would somehow, IN MY TRAVELS, begin to recognize, that I HAD BEEN WITH JESUS. That, I myself would become more acquainted with Him, so that I could bubble over with delight, whenever I was around people, who needed to see the Joy of the Lord. I want to be one that brings the COMFORT OF GOD, TO A PEOPLE, WHO ARE IN A CONSTANT STATE OF FEARING HIS WRATH TO COME, in the same manner as he has comforted me.

I want to be the one that points them, TO A FORGIVER OF SINS AND A COMFORTER OF SOULS. This desire to be more like Jesus, brings me to the point of a goal, that is worthy of attempting to reach for. Because of this, I try to read my Bible more, so that I am assured that I know what God says, about all circumstances that I will be faced with, or that others will be faced with. Because of this, I give advice on what God would have us do, to have a beautiful life filled with Love.

Because of this desire, to be more like Jesus, I want to spend more time in prayer, to a Loving Father, and get to know the advocate for my case, Jesus Christ. I do believe if we pray more, we will become attuned to his place, in the Holy of Holies and what He does for each of us within, AND THE PART THE HOLY SPIRIT PLAYS, IN ALL THIS GRAND SCHEMA OF THINGS.

I believe as we DRAW NIGH TO GOD, we will get MORE LOVING. For God is Love and so is His Son Jesus, and so is His Holy Spirit, ALL ARE LOVE, AS WELL. I need to do all things in Love. For if I do anything without it, it will not survive the fires of cleansing, that will come upon all of our works. I want to examine my motives, and work out my own Salvation, with fear and trembling.

I do not want, to stop being me, just because of a few people who do not like me. I do appreciate honest input of ideas, that I can mull around in my soul. But not to the point of being so interested in others viewpoints of me, aimed at making me less than, ‘who I am.’ Albeit I would like a good report from them all, but that is not my primary goal. But alas that good report of me, all the time, more than likely, is not possible, and be truthful at the same time.

But I am interested in God, giving me, a good, report in my soul, EVERY TIME I APPROACH HIM. AND FOLKS THAT IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT! YOUR SELF IMAGE WROUGHT BY THE GOD OF THIS UNIVERSE, WHO CREATED MANKIND IN HIS OWN IMAGE. HE MAKES SUCCESSES!!!
I CANNOT IMAGINE A GOD WHO MADE ME IN HIS OWN IMAGE, WANTING ME TO BE ‘ASHAMED OF MYSELF’, FOR MY INADEQUACIES. HE WANTS TO HELP ME, NOT HINDER ME.
THOSE PEOPLE WHO ADVOCATE, SELF IMAGE IS NOT IMPORTANT, ARE A BIG BUNCH OF BALONEY. HUMBLE YOURSELF THEY SAY.

WELL, I AM A HUMBLE PERSON, WHO KNOWS WHO I AM, what I can do, AND WHO GOD IS. what He can do. THAT IS HUMILITY TO ME.

THEY BELIEVE SELF HELP BOOKS AND CHRISTIANITY DO NOT GO HAND IN HAND. WELL, I BELIEVE THEY DO. WHO WANTS TO FOLLOW A MAN OR WOMAN, WHO DON’T BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES OR WHO DON’T WANT TO LEARN ^IMPROVE?^

I BELIEVE ANY MAN CAN PICK HIMSELF UP, DUST HIMSELF OFF, AND SAY, ‘LETS TRY THIS AGAIN.’ ‘I AIN’T GONNA QUIT!!! ‘LET’S SEE WHAT I CAN DO TO HELP MYSELF & OTHERS.’ I BELIEVE, ‘I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH JESUS WHO STRENGTHENS ME.’ IF YOU DON’T TAKE THE FIRST STEP TOWARD GOD, HE AIN’T GONNA TAKE THAT FIRST STEP TOWARD YOU. YOUR PART IN SALVATION IS BELIEVING(FAITH).

AND THIS WILL BE THE SIGNATURE, THAT I HAVE INDEED BEEN WITH JESUS, MY NAME, SANDRA AKA NINA, WHEN PEOPLE SAY IT, WILL THEY THINK OF LOVE. LIFE IS TOO SHORT AND I AM TOO OLD, NOT TO SIGN MY SIGNATURE=LOVE NINA

THERE IS NOT A CHILD, MATE(THEIR PARENT), GRAND CHILD OR RELATIVE, THAT I HAVE, THAT I DO NOT THINK OF ‘LOVE’ WHEN I THINK OF THEM. ALL OF THEM ARE ‘LOVE TO ME!’ AND ALL THEIR FRIENDS ARE ‘LOVE TO ME' ALSO.

AND BETTER THAN EVEN THAT, THERE IS NOT A FRIEND OR AN ACQUAINTANCE THAT I KNOW, THAT I DO NOT THINK OF ‘LOVE’, WHEN I AM AROUND THEM. AIN’T THAT JUST THE GRANDEST THING GOING?

If anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.- Phil 4:8

THEY HAVE ALL BEEN WITH JESUS.

IT DON'T GET NO BETTER THAN LOVE!

Love Nina
