The High Life in Jesus

Only Jesus Christ can take you to the highest level of joy, peace, and love. Through the mighty power of God's Word, you can be completely transformed and all you have to do is Believe it. "For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power ( making it active, operative, energizing, and effective );it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and (the immortal) spirit, and of joints and marrow ( of the deepest parts of our nature), exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart." Hebrews 4:12
I come from ungodly parents who neglected to give guidance and was left to fend for myself my entire life. I did have my Mamaw ( may she R.I.P.) who watched Billy Graham and did the best she could to raise me, but she was a widow and couldn't drive and survived on social security so money was very tight. There was even a time that I would steal leftovers from school cafeteria trays so I could eat.....gross, but when you're starving as a young girl, you do what you have to to survive. After so long of time of being rejected and unloved and unhugged, I ran away from home and got pregnant by a grown man when I was 16. He was severely abusive to me and I fled to a battered woman's shelter. I lost custody of my precious daughter due to my autism and I was so grieved by this, I chose to numb myself with cocaine, which ended up becoming an intense addiction lasting 12 years.
Finally, I was just overwhelmed with exhaustion so tremendously, I walked into a church to tell God that I'm so sorry for all of my bad behavior and INSTANTLY He delivered me from cocaine cravings and I suddenly felt loved and accepted and forgiven. WOW! I gave my life to Jesus and I'm doing better, but not my best. I abide in His Word, I write Scriptures over and over for meditation, I spend my mornings with Jesus and as I do, I know He is restoring me. I can feel the inner peace which I've never had before. I am a new creature in Christ....Amen!
