It is wonderful to share about what Jesus means to us! Here is your place to share how He has made a difference in your life, what He means to you, what His character is like.

Has your image of God been at times distorted due to misrepresentations of His character, abuse, neglect or abandoment? Has your faith been shattered during difficult times and, if so, what helped you to be built back up in the Christian Faith?

Do you have a devotional or poem of love to share that will bless us all?

Has your love for Him grown lukewarm?

If you are on fire for Him, maybe the flame of your love for Him can light a fire in someone else's heart. Oh, that we would be burning lights so that the light of His love can spread out to a desperate world!

Don't be shy now, your faith in Him is needed, beautiful and part of the Master's beautiful gift to the world!

***Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels***

I grew up in an agnostic household. We never went to church, although I did go with friends once in a while. If I were to think about it, I had no real idea what Jesus was and what he stood for. As a teenager, I read the 4 Gospels all the way through in one day. The thing that struck me is how different Jesus was than what I heard about him. The TV preachers I had heard made Him seem meek, but He was not. He had authority in these books. I always have said since then, that that is when I met Jesus, I mean not heard about Him, but actually met Him. I never turned away from Him. He has been a part of my life since then.

There just isn't room enough here but Jesus is everything to me. He loves me, corrects me, teaches me, hangs out with me (always), talks with me, walks with me, understands me, helps me, does special things for me and through me (and let's me see it!). Wow, Jesus is awesome! I am so grateful that He chose me! Wow. Everyone else is just so much better. Why oh why me? Grateful...I love the way Spurgeon called it the "sweet condescension". For Almighty God to want to for us to be together. Amazing.

I really like His ways of correction. I mean, He just has it down, you know? No other way for me to explain it. I can't say it is always gentle but it is never harsh. You know? And His love...beyond. He is really, really cool! Sometimes it is like He is really smiling at me. It makes me just beam. The way He brings us to the Father, the way His Spirit works in us. All His Ways are just mind-blowing. From the tiniest of the tiny to the biggest of the big, He blows me away. I love you God.

Anyway, that is my poor attempt to share Him.

Thank you for sharing!!! And what beautiful thoughts from both of you! Christine, it is when I read the gospels alot that my life was changed dramatically, also. that's wonderful you never turned away from Him!!!

Caur, "poor attempts to share about him"? I believe your attempts to share about Him are beautiful and so very, very precious to Him! But I know kind-of what you mean. When we love Him, any attempts to share about Him seem meager because He is so much more wonderful that words can ever say....

I'd be lying if I said that I never came close to reneging on my faith in hard times. It has happened in the past. But I know that it is by the strength of the Lord that I made it through those difficult periods of time back then.

Has my image of Him ever been distorted due to misrepresentation of His character? I don't think so. I have always had a pretty clear image of the King in my heart, and it has never changed.

quote:

Do you have a devotional or poem of love to share that will bless us all?


I used to. It was called the Heart. It was very touching. A little boy was dying of heart failure, and the doctor told him he would open up his heart, and the little boy kept saying You'll find Jesus in there. The doctor railed against God later on, and Jesus answered and told Him, that yes, the boy would die. But His lamb was not meant to be sent out into the world, but meant to bring another lost lamb home to Him. He did his work, and now was being called home to be comforted in ways the doctor would not understand. It was very moving.

EDIT: I found a link to the devotional online here it is: The Heart
quote:

Has your love for Him grown lukewarm?


Let's hope that never happens! I love Jesus as much (if not more) today as I did on the day I knelt down and offered my whole life to Him. There are very few things in this world that just thinking about my love for them causes a lump to form in my throat and my eyes to tear up. Jesus is one of those things.

quote:

If you are on fire for Him, maybe the flame of your love for Him can light a fire in someone else's heart. Oh, that we would be burning lights so that the light of His love can spread out to a desperate world!


He told us to " Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven".

What a wonderful idea for a thread! Thanks for this and may God bless you!

I love Jesus so much too BelovedofGod!

I have never written a poem about Jesus.

But, I have his love written on my heart. He isn't finished with me yet, and I'm not perfect, but I love him so much for being such a gentle teacher.

I once heard it said that Jesus could argue and love at the same time like no one else ever could or will. I thought I'd share that. I thought it was a very deep statement about Jesus.

One of the poems about Jesus I have always loved is called "Footprints in the Sand".

If anyone hasn't read that poem, it's easy to find on the internet.

It's an incredible poem!

Bless you FWanger and Petula for sharing the beauty that is within your heart from Him! We all have so much to share about Him!

FWanger, my faith did fail during a long "dark night of the soul". But He would not let me go even tho I lost my grip on Him. "No one (even myself) can pluck them out of my hand" the Great Shepherd said of His sheep. He has brought me back, a true miracle. That was a beautiful poem that you linked us to!! Very, very special. thank you also for the encouragement.

What can I say, Petula - you are such a special treasure! I love that poem "Footprints". Thank you for sharing and reminding me of it! Your endurance, love for and faith in God is a wonderful example to me!!!

I am blessed reading this thread. I don't know about posting poetry though. It seems like every time we post poetry it ends up being moved to the "writer's section" or "The round table."

I'm thinking about what to share.

Queenmcs, Yes, He is a "magnificant" Saviour!

I sense the LORD wants me to share what some people call the greatest hymn ever written. Since it is not copywrited I hope it is alright moderator... But first, a little background ...

Charles Wesley was preach­ing in the fields of the par­ish of Killy­leagh, Coun­ty Down, Ire­land, when he was at­tacked by men who did not ap­prove of his doc­trines. He sought re­fuge in a house lo­cat­ed on what was known as the Is­land Barn Farm. The far­mer’s wife, Jane Low­rie Moore, told him to hide in the milk­house, down in the gar­den. Soon the mob came and de­mand­ed the fu­gi­tive. She tried to qui­et them by of­fer­ing them re­fresh­ments. Go­ing down to the milk­house, she di­rect­ed Mr. Wesley to get through the rear win­dow and hide un­der the hedge, by which ran a lit­tle brook. In that hid­ing-place, with the cries of his pur­su­ers all about him, he wrote this im­mor­tal hymn.

Jesus, Lover of my Soul

Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Savior, hide, till the storm of life is past;
Safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last.

Other refuge have I none, hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, ah! leave me not alone, still support and comfort me.
All my trust on Thee is stayed, all my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenseless head with the shadow of Thy wing.

Wilt Thou not regard my call? Wilt Thou not accept my prayer?
Lo! I sink, I faint, I fall—Lo! on Thee I cast my care;
Reach me out Thy gracious hand! While I of Thy strength receive,
Hoping against hope I stand, dying, and behold, I live.

Thou, O Christ, art all I want, more than all in Thee I find;
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is Thy Name, I am all unrighteousness;
False and full of sin I am; Thou art full of truth and grace.

Plenteous grace with Thee is found, grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art, freely let me take of Thee;
Spring Thou up within my heart; rise to all eternity.


Charles Wesley, 1740

I love this thread! It seems like there is so much talk about the things to do with Christianity but so little about the One who is the center of it all!

quote:

Has your image of God been at times distorted due to misrepresentations of His character, abuse, neglect or abandoment? Has your faith been shattered during difficult times and, if so, what helped you to be built back up in the Christian Faith?



Although I've always viewed Jesus as loving and kind, in the earlier days of my walk with Him my view of Him was tainted quite a bit by religion. I tended to view Him as being judgmental or somewhat demanding. That was simply because I was seeing Him through the eyes of the religious folks around me. I felt like I had to continually strive to make God happy and if I blew it in some way, then I had to punish myself. I would feel unaccepted by Him and extremely guilty until enough time went by that I felt like I could get back to working for Him.

Anyway, a huge break through came in my life when I caught a fresh revelation of Jesus. Suddenly I saw a glimpse of His amazing love, grace, mercy and compassion. He was so amazing and I saw that freedom truly defines Him. This fresh look at who He is was so Earth shattering that it caused me to abandon religion altogether. I saw that mixing this amazing life giving Jesus into religion was about as reasonable as trying to mix oil with water.

Since leaving religion, my view of Jesus as changed tremendously. My walk with Him has become so much more real. He went from being this demanding God that would love me when I followed all the rules to becoming extremely personal. I find myself carrying on regular conversations with Him now. He's no longer the lord of the Sunday morning service, now He interacts with me in my daily life. I have been seeing so much that He truly is The Good Shepherd who leads us and feeds us. His mercies are so overwhelming. I find now that when I blow it, He treats me like nothing has changed. His attitude is like, "Okay, yeah, I know. Can we please leave that behind now, forget about it and go on?" I've come to see that it is relationship with me that He wants, not perfect behavior. So one of the biggest steps in my journey with Him has been learning to get over myself and stop obsessing over my flaws and weaknesses and to simply keep relating to Him.

Jesus is the absolute best and most wonderful person I know!

We all know how we are taught in the psychological disciplines that parents are as gods to children, so parents, especially fathers, must recognize this and respond properly -- respond with emulatable actions, wise discipline, etc. They teach that in religious homes, the children will regularly connect their personal image of G-d with the father, the father's actions, etc. Growing up in an abusive home, in which Mother was the main abuser and the one who was at home, as a child, I connected G-d not with Father but with Mother.

To me, then, as a tiny child, G-d was a mean old man with pale blue eyes that flashed fire. In one hand, He held a scythe, and in the other, he held a lightning bolt. In my mind, He glared at me, watching for a change to just "get" me with either the scythe or the lightning. When I reached second grade and learned about chess, my image of Him was of Him playing chess with satan, and I was a pawn on the board, while Mother was the almighty queen. I saw G-d as loosing and throwing the chessboard over in a fit of rage, sending me, the pawn, into the abyss.

As a tiny child, I hated him with a blinding rage and did everything I could to insure that I would not have to spend an eternity with Him and Mother. The thought was so totally overwhelming that I could not stand it. This attitude continued until I was 14, at which time I began to open up to Him. Still not seeing Him as He is, I held Him at arm's length until I was 22, when an understanding of His love overwhelmed me one day. Feeling loved for the first time, I wanted nothing other than to give myself to Him.

As a woman, I was confused re where G-d began and ended with regard to the church i was in. I was very confused toward the church and, because of bad teaching, connected it too closely with G-d. Through many traumas during my last decade plus in that church, I learned how to separate Him from the deceit in that church.

Since then, I have learned more and more about Him, experiencing His love and guidance more intimately than ever before. He is SO GOOD! He is the ULTIMATE FATHER. He is LOVE, He is EVERYTHING GOOD and HOLY. He is my personal KING of kings, my PRINCE of PEACE, the HOLY ONE of ISRAEL, the EVERLASTING FATHER, my personal KING of my life. I love Him. Oh, how I do.

Everyone,

All of your testimonies touched me deeply and brought tears to my eyes. Wish I had more time to give more of a response. When I logged on today I said "I'll just look." Famous last words!

Now I MUST get to my chores!

Abiyah,

As Amy says Oh Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua!!!!!!

That is so beautiful! I was abused also so had a similiar struggle with coming to know Yeshua, also.

This is so beautiful! May many be so touched with your testimony!

Shalom, precious one!

When I look into Your holiness,
When I gaze upon Your lovely Face.
When all things become shadows
In the light of You

When I found the joy of reaching Your heart
When my will becomes enthroned in Your love
When all things become shadows
In the light of You

I worship You...
I worship You..
The reason I live
Is to worship You...

hey beloved of God:

I am thrilled that you have chosen the topic of "let's talk about Jesus." After all He is the reason we call ourselves Christ-ians (little Christ's) in the first place. Let's let His name reign; let's let His praise reign; let's let His majesty be supreme; let's lift up the precious, wonder, exalted name above every name--Jesus!!!

I believe the Lord is going to do a new work in His church. It's not going to be a new program or a new personality. No, it's going to be a new, fresh revival of love for a person--Jesus Christ!!! Let's get the ball rolling on this web-thread and promote His glorious name. Let' give Jesus his rightful honor. Let's talk and lift high the King of kings and Lord of lords--Jesus. Amen Beloved. Amen.

Yahoo! Thanks Ken!

Before I came to know Jesus I had a lot of "why God" questions. Why does God allow wars, hunger, cancer, little children to die in fires? Why is the world so messed up...AND why did He allow my mom to commit suicide and my dad to drink so much? Why all the hurting and suffering?

The suffering, broken and bleeding Jesus revealed Himself to me. That's how I saw Him first, through depictions of His Passion in several stained glass widows as I was standing outside an old church one February. I was just a fourteen year old kid. He didn't come to this hurt, angry teenager as the militant Christ, shaking His finger at my sins and brandishing a firey sword of judgement. His eyes reflected my pain. I saw my own need and longing to be loved in His eyes. He came vulnerable and spoke but four words to my
heart. The first was my name, spoken with great tenderness. The next three caused me to be "hooked on Him" foever:

"I love YOU!"

Many don't see Him that way, the vulnerable Christ longing to be loved. All I can say is seeing Him that way answered all my "why" questions.

When I am fightened and the "why" questions try to threaten my faith He gives me grace to remember:

In times of distress. In times of fear.
My faithful Jesus is always near.
His hand outstretched, His assuring cry,
"Oh come My love, It is I! It is I!
Take your place upon My breast.
In My arms come safely rest."

Stay with Me!!!

HskGanskie, thank you so much for your encouragement! You are such an encourager to me!

Amy, what a beautiful and sweet testimony! Thank you for reminding us that Jesus is vulnerable. I think that is one reason He came to earth. To really understand our sorrows, pain, fear, rejection, shame, etc. He experienced the same so that He might know what these things feel like. The Bible says He is touched with the feeling of our infirmities. That word touched means to have pity, compassion and to feel sympathy. Our infirmities our our weaknesses, sickness, feebleness of body or mind, lack of strength, etc.

That is when I really "fell in love" with Jesus. When I studied His ways with people in the gospels He became the "Jesus I never knew." I always believed He was harsh, vindictive, and that I needed to "measure up" to His performance standards. The change in my relationship with Him was transformed when I found out how kind He is. I could not help but desire to share this beautiful Jesus with the whole world. I knew that when people came to understand what He is really like they would "fall in love" with Him, also!

What a Saviour! A Friend of sinners! The Lover of our souls! The One who understands and knows all about us even the worst about us and He yet adores us anyway. Who can can fathom Him!?

That is interesting to me, because as a child, I completely separated Him from the Father. I saw Him more as an abused child, abused by the Father. I believed that the Father had told Him He could make His own choices, but when it came down to it, He had to die -- He had no personal choice. I thought He was a great person but completely lacking in power, because the Father had it all.

Blessings to all!!
Well I was born into a catholic family and every since I can remember I believed in God, and I knew there was a baby Jesus somewhere but I really had not understood what he had done or His role as God's Son, I had never read the bible. I always used to say I was God's favorite child because everything I ever prayed for He granted me. My only problem ever since I can remember was depression. BIG problem, I was always an unhappy child, mocked in school..the nerd type, they called me everything from powerrangers, to satan (because of the way I dressed :S), to ritabook. All of a sudden I wasn't God's favorite child, I was his forgotten one(or so I thought), I stopped going to church. And when I got into college, I started drinking, hanging out with a not so good of a crowd, I even did drugs a couple of times. Always unhappy, even though deep down I knew God wanted something of me, so one day I just told Him.."you know, I know exactly what I have to do but can you please just let me search happiness somewhere else" that was last year, and after I had asked for just that, it was granted. I failed a class, my friends abandoned me, there were problems at home, by boyfriend had left for about 4 months to work abroad aggravating the depression, a college friend died in an awful accident, and life couldn't possibly have gotten any worse. So one day I just threw my hands up and gave up, and in a desperate cry I prayed to God once more to send me a sign, the answer to happiness. And in october 23rd of 2005 I accepted the Lord Jesus as my Savior!! A friend whom I had not spoken in months said, "You know what I think about true happiness? that Jesus is waiting for you to come home" And I just burst into tears, I went to my friend's church where they talked to me about what Jesus had done for me, I started reading the bible. And folks I must say not only did I find the happiness I longed for but I found the absolute love of my life Jesus Christ!! :D my life changed completely!! I have been through some trials already but God has proven to be completely faithful to me by guiding me through the trials. I just wish the entire world new how awesome God is!! and how great it is to be christian!!!! :D To know that you don't have to be perfect, or be accepted by anyone. To know that you have it all by having Him in your heart!!:D:D:D

How precious it must be to God to see all of these beautiful messages of love!

"Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels" Malachi 3:16-17

What a promise for us!!!!
