Listen to, "The voice of a Savior."

Where do we try to find acceptance, love and happiness? How do we fill that hole of emptiness, to feel complete? Before I really came into a relationship with Jesus, boy did I struggle with this. My parents loved me, and did the best they could to lead me, especially my mom.  But I guess there is a time in all our lives where God wants to completely take over, and that means parents trusting Him with our kids. So my mom had to trust the Lord and be still, Psalm 46:10.

That’s when God began to show me consequences, as a teenager. Like it says in Proverbs 1:7 and Hosea 4:6, I thought I knew everything.  My mom never gave up on me, but I knew it wouldn't be long before she was going to make me choose: either move out, or be obedient to her rules. I chose to go, and got into things to fill what was really missing (Jesus).  I tried to find it in relationships, drinking, even some drugs. All along Jesus still reaching for me, all I had to do was open the door, Revelations 3:20.  I am so thankful to the people who never gave up on me, because I finally surrendered to Jesus who completed me. He is enough. We were meant to draw our life from inside us, not around us.

As a parent I see how God uses us, but we also have to trust Him with what we went through, and what He gave us to lead our children, Deuteronomy 11:18-20.

As a child I was taught right from wrong. As a teenager I had to make that choice on my own. When I asked Jesus to help me to follow Him, my heart told me that giving into temptation was a sin against God.

I am thankful for my parents, and all the “voices” God sent with His word, John 10:4.  His promise came true for me.  I love this one... Jeremiah 29:11-14.

I hope and pray you get closer and closer to Jesus, by spending time with Him, and all the other voices become faint.  I know where I was without Him, and I know where I am now, FORGIVEN!  2 Peter 3:8-9

Grace and Peace to You
