What difference has Jesus made in your life?
Posted on May 1, 2010 with 0 commentsJesus has taught me what love is. It's fierce, it's tender, it's forgiving, it's alligned with reality. Jesus has given me courage to face fears and insecurities, including the fear of flying and the fear of telling someone I love them. Jesus has given me a connection to the Source of my life, which makes for great peace. He has provided me with an international and universal family that, more than any earthly treasure, gives me joy. He has given me assurance that every evil thing I've ever done (or thought) has been completely wiped away in the loving mercy of God. He has freed me from a host of addictions including nicotine, alcohol, drugs and self obsession. He is still working on me! Jesus has also been a source of division. There are people who take me to be an idiot for believing in God. And Jesus' view of life is very different from the "world's" view. Having seen life through these two lenses, I can say enthusiastically "I like Jesus' view better!" These are just a few brief descriptions of what difference Jesus has made in my life...how about you?
