I'm So Glad I Have Jesus!

            Last week, I was feeling joyous and uplifted. I was just coming off a tough time the week before, but by the grace of God I overcame it (like always). So last week I found myself rejoicing, praising, and just keeping my mind on how good God is. I remembered that Jesus is the one who sends peace (John 14:27) and I felt that peace throughout the entire time. I still feel it now! And I remind myself that God is not done with working in my life (Philippians 1:6) and so anything that comes up against me won’t be there for long.

            I also received a blessing from the Lord, and I realized why I was praising so much: I was celebrating for a blessing! So, when you get random the feeling to pray, worship, sing, or dance, do it! You never know what you’ll be allowing in your life when you praise Him!

This week Sunday was a new start. I started my day with praising and glorifying God. And good thing I did, because the day ended up not the best. I was overworked, overwhelmed, and frustrated. But even with those feelings, I still felt that unexplainable peace (Philippians 4:6-7) deep within. I wasn’t as mad as I thought I would be (although I was still mad). And I’m so grateful for that. God’s peace, and Jesus’ spirit within me was enough to get me through the anger, the rage, and the horrible thoughts. I repented, praised God, and let it go. And I’m so glad I have Jesus through it all!

If you’re going through something, be encouraged. Continue to praise God, seek His voice, and read His Word. He is right here with you now. He sees you, and He cares. He wants you to come to Him, and through Him you will have peace in Jesus’ name!
