Amazing Grace

I am aware there are people on my facebook that get annoyed with my Jesus loving statuses. I can hear their thoughts in my mind saying “oh bc I don’t believe in Jesus I’m not a good person?! …I’m not going to heaven?! I am a nice person, I am kind, I do good in life, I’m a good mother/father/daught/son, I work hard for my family…I’m a happy person…etc” Well if you feel that YOU are YOUR own salvation and that YOUR works in life are well enough to keep you HAPPY; then my friends YOU have made YOURSELF and idol. You have created yourself to be the GOD of your life. And that my friends, is where your fault lies.

Jesus didn’t come down from Heaven to save the HAPPY! He came to save the broken, the desperate, the lowly, the ones who felt worthless! The grieving, the desolate, the lonely, the sad, the needy! The ones who were taught to hate their wretched selves!!!

We all know the song!

“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a WRETCH like me”

Jesus is HERE for you! For all you lost ones…but he’s also here for you “happy” folks …remember the next lines of that song?

“I once was lost but now I’m found

Was BLIND but now I see”

You are blinded by your own happiness to the truth! Let Jesus awaken the truth in you just as he has in me! I am no better than anyone! But I know that Jesus saved me…he picked me up and took the blind folds off my eyes!  Thank you Father!!!! Thank YOU!

I used to think these things myself! I couldn’t have been more wrong. I picked up a bible and I slowly began to know God. And then one day it hit me! He HIT me! He awakened me and I refuse to EVER go back to the ME in my life…I am now living for Jesus! And just in case you are wondering, it really is SO much better!
