Jesus is the foundation of my whole life. He is my strength. If you have Jesus in your life, you know it, you feel it. He’s the solid rock you can stand on every day. There’s no problem you can’t face if you have the love of Jesus to strengthen you.
~Johnny Cash (1932-2003)
I waited patiently for the LORD to help me,
and He turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the pit of despair,
out of the mud and the mire.
He set my feet on solid ground
and steadied me as I walked along.
He has given me a new song to sing,
a hymn of praise to our God.
Many will see what he has done and be amazed.
They will put their trust in the LORD.
~ Psalm 40:1-3
FREEDOM! Oh beloved. Oh my. It is most surely true.
Jesus has brought us up out of a life that was nothing but death. And He has given us a new Life that will never die. We are finally real, for our Life is now based on the Ultimate Reality. We are in Christ. We become beautiful, gorgeous, and infilled with Love that we might love others to the point that they too want to be filled the same way with the same Love they feel from us.
There is nothing like it.
For some of us, our lives are so different, our footing so solid that others cannot even imagine our lives before this new place. G_d has made us so utterly different than before. And for those of us in this new place, it is almost as hard to even remember what our existence was like before He came in and began to dine with us. His Life in us is a wonderful life.
Are you stuck?
There is a way out.
Jesus.
Not Sunday School jesus.
Not His sublime example.
Not the doctrines He promulgated.
Rather, Jesus, The One True Lover of your soul.
Jesus, the Consuming Fire and King of The Universe.
Yeah, that Jesus.
