john 8:14
Jesus answered, “Even if I do bear witness about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
THOUGHTS FOR TODAY
I just shared my Testimony at a church group for Recovery in which i go , but when i read John 8:14 it reminded me of Jesus when he answered, Even if i do bear witness myself , my testimony is true, for i know where i came
When it mention i knew where i came it ring a bell in my mind because i had shared all the garbage in my passed which is so hard to do in front of people but the bible also God's Word tells us to confess our faults to each other so we may be healed. (James 5:16)
All though i was Re-living the passed but it was very healing to me because we are knew Creatures in Christ Jesus .
“He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.” Isaiah 40:29-31
God has giving me the strength to get in front of people to share my life story in 30 minutes which is hard to do but i can say it was moving to others and it helps others to know they do not have to be afraid to share
your Testimony if your in a safe place .
I remember when i lived the Bar life i had many parties i would go to did all kind of things iam not proud of, but I do remember most of the times in the Bars i would go Home alone , There was a very deep feeling alone and when i was with someone they did not understand me .When i am around God's people
and sharing , there is compassion and understanding and prayers are lifted up , Mostly there is support.
When this life is over the bible says And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4
QUOTE FOR TODAY
To what end is pain? I do not clearly know. But I have noticed that when one who has not suffered draws near to one in pain, there is rarely much power to help. There is not the understanding that leaves the suffering thing comforted, though perhaps not a word was spoken.
What if every stroke of pain, or hour of weariness or loneliness, or any other trial of flesh or spirit, could carry us a pulsebeat nearer some other life, some life for which the ministry of prayer is needed; would it not be worthwhile to suffer? Ten thousand times yes. And surely it must be so, for the further we are drawn into the fellowship of Calvary with our dear Lord, the tenderer we are toward others, the closer alongside does our spirit lie with them that are in bonds; as being ourselves also in the body. God never wastes His children's pain.
~Amy Charmichael
We will overcome
By the blood of the Lamb
