“When I think of the Goodness of Jesus and all that he’s done for me… My soul cries out Hallelujah!!! Praise God for saving me. What a powerful hymn.” I am truly greatfull for all the Lord has done for me all the days of my life. When I thought of the many times I’ve cheated death, I felt abandoned and alone, hopeless, abused, afraid, tempted, misguided and confused especially about faith in him, sick: mentally and physically. God always showed up in one form or another. How does he shows up and how do I know it’s God? Through the presence of love, forgiveness deliverance, salvation, and redemption. God doesn’t show up just to see what’s going on, he knows, he is ever present. God doesn’t just show up for a need to know bases, He shows up cause He’s our problems solver, our way maker where there seems to be none in our lives. His presence is to deliver us from any situation because of sin. It’s all about sin within and surrounding us. We should have strong faith and pray for those who doesn’t. Our lives should be the living testimony of faith in the Lord, like our ancestors are in the Bible.

Pain and suffering should not be the only reason for us to find God. But in most circumstances it is the reason for our conversion of faith even drawing some of us closer. 2 Corinthians 12:2-10 declare His strength is made perfect in weakness. I can’t express my gratitude for all that the Lord has done for me. I want to be able to show him, so I pray, ” Lord help me to always pay it forward” Amen!
