Today I was thinking about who I love. His name is Jesus.
Here is a bit of my testimony. When I was in my teen years, I greatly feared God. I was afraid that I wasn't giving Him enough of my time. I was constantly feeling guilty if I did anything other than read my Bible in my spare time. It was sort of a disease of my mind. I had the wrong idea about who God is.
Romans 8:15 says, "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father."
That is such a dear verse to me. God loves me- He is my Father.
In these years of singleness that the Lord has blessed me with and even after I marry- He is my Valentine. It is my desire that He have my heart. I would say He has my heart, but honestly, some days that just isn't true. It's a daily struggle. Overall, I am quite the happy individual though.
That is the end of this blog post. Has He delivered you from your bondage? The popular Christmas song says that Santa knows we're all God's children. Not so. (John 8:44) The only way to the Father is by Jesus Christ (John 14:6). I just thought I'd end with that. It seems that many people have the wrong idea of who God is the way I used to. Here's a tip: Read your Bible to find out who God is. Really study it, don't just take the preacher's word for it. Don't take the evangelist's word for it. Don't take my word for it. Study your Bible.
