This I Know



John 8:31-32King James Version (KJV)

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Dear Friends,

I know that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I know that God sent His Son so that those who believe in Him could receive salvation.  This I know.

I know that God is Faithful.  I know that the Word of God is true. I know that the Word of God will accomplish what it has been set forth to do.  The Word of God cannot be bound or hindered.  This I know.

I know that I am a child of God.  I know that there is nothing that I have done or could ever do to earn salvation.  I know that I am saved by grace through faith.  This I know.

I know these things because I have been taught them from a child.  Childhood in a scriptural sense is literal for some. New born babes, childhood for others is when they begin their journey with the Lord.  For some the journey begins at a young age and for others in later years.  This I know.

I know that it is important to share our faith with others.  I know it is imperative to be willing to give our testimonies as the Lord leads us in order to encourage and inspire others. This I know.

I know that this life is temporary. However, Christ intends for us to have life and that more abundantly.  When our work on this earth is done, I will see the Lord for myself.  He lives. This I know.

 "For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another;"
     - Job 19:25, 27a

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."   God's Word declares it. This I know.

God bless!

in Christ,

Sis. Stephanie

The Journey Here

  Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. - Psalms 23:4 The journey here...that is really something to think about.  Where we are in life as compared to where we had hoped to be.  Paths chosen while other were forgotten or neglected.  Decisions.  Times of indecisiveness. There were times we crawled. Too weary to walk.  We ran. We were too impatient to wait.   The journey.  Here.  That is really something to think about. For me the most difficult and sometimes debilitating aspect of the journey, has been walking through the valley of the shadow of death.  Tempted to fear due to memories of time I could have spent, conversations I should have had, hugs I wish I had given.  This type of fearful fretting is not of God.  I have learned; I am learning that if I truly believe, He is with me.  If I surely stand on His promi...

If We Live

  For  that  ye ought to say, If the Lord  will ,  we  shall live, and  do   this ,  or   that .                                                   - James 4:15 If I live to see tomorrow... I remember hearing adults say this when I was a child.  Tomorrow seemed to be some miraculous day.  Big things were going to happen.  Something special was in store.  I began to think and say aloud: I can't wait until tomorrow. I did not realize that the biggest factor in "tomorrow" was if the Lord willed us to live to see it.  Everything, each and every day rested in the will of God.  So, what about today? How about some reframing.  "The Lord has blessed me with today. He allowed me this day."  How about doing something in the now. Procrastination is a thief.  It is a threat to hope....

I Remember

"When I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.  Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice." - Psalms 63:6-7 Dear Friends, "My sister and me used to have bunk beds.  This reminds of me of that. Do you remember Stephanie? It's like we are having a pajama party." I remember. I sat with my sister in her Hospice room and I remembered.  Bunk beds that we sometimes had stacked and at other times they were laid side by side, like twin beds.  I remember that we are not in our room of long ago. Unless the Lord says otherwise when this "party" is over my sister will be with the Lord and I will return to my earthly home.  I remember. God was a Mighty Fortress during those days.  In a place where people go to comfortably die, the Lord was teaching a lesson on how to live.  Praise and worship was the norm.  My sister the angelic soprano sang.  Family came in the room and for...
