Change was hard for me until I accepted Jesus in my life I’m 39 and it took me 39 years to welcome him with open arms. My life was a trainwreck in October I had enough so I cried out to Jesus for the first time in my whole life and now my entire life has changed

I was born a Muslim in Iraq. I was worried and depressed, sitting and looking at the Tigris River in my city.Jesus' face appeared to me in the water and told me. "Son, you're not alone" And now I'm a Christian, and I pray every day at the edge of the river.Thank you Jesus for this grace. I'm not alone right now. Jesus is with me.✝🙏💖💖🙏🙏

“Some of the things that came in as opposition, were opportunities to know Him and make Him known” that is a 2020 killer word. I step in agreement with that word because we should pray dangerous prayers by faith because what is the point of our life? Do we want it relaxed, asleep? Why not have our oil and lamps ready?

[@michaelatrelon]

time under tension is the formula to growth, like wow

[@billhufman3514]

Aren't there two ways in which change occurs? Things we choose to change, and change that is brought upon us? All change is hard, but the tension seems exponentially more difficult regarding the change that we don't see coming. That is why I cling to hope, ask for wisdom, walk in faith, and extend grace and mercy to myself as I make room for Jesus to help me grow.

Feeling very threatened by my blessings. The not knowing how a blessing looked like in my past, been delivered, rescued and forgiven was the tip of the iceberg for me. But seeing how a blessing develops is another level of living life and trying to stay in my lane on the path that Jesus has prepared for me.
