My Beginning

Some would say that it started with a cry. A baby being born. Maybe even conception. But God says contrary.

He knew me before. Before I was conceived. He knew me before I was in my mother's womb. And He loved me then and still now and forever more... He spoke His purpose for me over my life. And what a beautiful purpose He has for me. If I will only let Him have it!

I've recently wondered... What was going on in the world or in eternity when God spoke me into existence. When He took the time, then God of the universe, took the time... To speak life into me. Yes of course, the biological things happened, but that was after. That was after. When was God's first thought of me? Was it moments before? Was it before time? Did He know in all eternity that I would one day exist.

Words for thought....

What about the birth of Jesus. What about the birth of Adam. And Eve. And Moses. And David. And John the beloved. What about Paul and Barnubus. What about Martin Luther King? What about President Barack Obama. What about the widow in your neighborhood. What about the orphan on the street. What about the woman in shackles in a prostitution ring. What about me? What about you? What is God's thoughts towards you? See you may think you know.........

But, we have fogged vision on this earth. Because the truth is God LOVES YOU! God loves Barack Obama and God loves the orphan. And GOD LOVES ME. This was my beginning. This was your beginning. God carefully molded, shapes and contemplated each and every part, each and every structure of your face, your toes, your nose and your heart. HE DID IT BECAUSE HE LOVED YOU THEN. AND HE LOVES YOU NOW! That was my beginning... THAT is our DESTINY! Will you embrace it? I WILL!

Who am I?

I am a woman that lives in a world where there is destruction and pain. I live in a world where a war has been waged and an attack issued. Not only has this war of hatred been waged on me, but also on every single human being. 

A decision has to be made. I can only decide for myself, but I'm hoping that in fighting the battle and standing my ground, others will see that it is a battle worth fighting. 

Simply put the decision is whether or not you will know and hear and follow the voice of God. The one true God. He is God in three persons. God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. He came to earth in human form as the Son of God, Jesus Christ. It was around 2000 years ago that God came to earth. He not only came to earth, but He came to tell us that we can have life, love, peace, joy, and everything we will ever really need in Him and through Him. 

You can learn more about Him in the Bible. The Scriptures of old. They originated with the Jewish people, the Israelites. And when Jesus came through the Jewish race, He wanted everyone to know that He loves them and He wanted to show each and every person to the eternal love and life of God. 

See the battle lives on in each and everyone of us. What is our purpose? What happens when we die? A battle is being fought for your soul. But you alone can choose if you will accept life or death. If you choose to surrender to God, then you will win the battle! Jesus came to earth died on a cross, and because He is God, He could not and would not be held down by death. He rose again! He wants to help you fight the battle and win! 

So, I'm also on a quest for a promise. A promise of purpose. A promise of life on earth. And a promise of eternal life. I'm most excited to see Jesus face to face and to enjoy eternity with Him, but also, I'm excited to journey with His Holy Spirit everyday on earth. Today I choose to follow Jesus. Today I choose to obey Him. Today I choose to Love God and to Love People.
