I watched a movie of a woman who inspired me this week. It was called Forevermore, and is the story of Karla Faye Tucker Forevermore
and it shared the story of a woman who loved God and was totally consecrated to Him as her husband. You will see the power of God to totally transform a life. This woman was a murderer on death row, but was radically changed by the Lord Jesus Christ when she repented of her sins and became Christian, a lover of Jesus. I cried from beginning to end on this movie. I was reminded of the life I lived before the Lord saved me and the death penalty of Hell that I deserve upon my life. But Jesus, My Precious Jesus, gave me something that I could never deserve. It is His unfailing Love. Now, I am consecrated to Him, betrothed to Him. I depend upon Him for everything now. He is the Lover of my Soul, the Lilly of the Valley, and the Fairest of ten thousand. Yes, I love Him now more and more as He continues to be my Rock and Fortress, my Strong Tower of Refuge against the enemy each day. Let us exalt His Name together, the precious Name of Jesus, more and more and live to glorify Him more and more each day with our lives.
I remember the old me and how I used to glory in the things of this world. Well, now I boast in the Lord Jesus Christ and all that He has done for me, setting me free and giving me a brand new life. People who knew me before may not understand the person that the Lord has made me now. But I know that it is supernatural, so in order to understand, you must first seek the Lord to help you. He can transform your heart too. There is so much hope in the Lord.
The enemy will come with his lies to your heart, saying that this pill will ease your pain and lull you away to sleep and you will never wake up again. But the Lord desires you to know the truth. If you take that pill or attempt to obey satan and overdose your way to "sleep", you will wake up in eternity in hell. This is not God's will for your life. God's will is that none should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance.
My prayer for anyone reading this is that you seek the Lord and listen for His still small voice to your heart, calling you to be His Bride, calling you to a life full of HOPE and a future full of JOY!!! Only He could take a worthless, hopeless, death sentenced life and transform it into something beautiful, full of HOPE! Just take a moment next time the sun is shining, to find a butterfly and remember where it came from. It was once a caterpillar, crawling on the ground, but is now soaring on beautiful wings of hope, free from the struggles below and the cares of this world. And remember, this butterfly can be YOU!!
OH, do not let sin and the cares of this world hold YOU down. Look up!! For behold, the Lord, the Bridegroom, is calling you to a deeper place. He is calling YOU to come away with Him and be His Bride for all eternity. Oh, today is the day to repent. Today is the day to seek His face while there is still time. Today is the day of salvation. Don't leave this blog and harden your heart. Jesus wants to be the lifter of your head. He wants to transform you into something beautiful. Won't you let Him do what He does best? Give Him your ashes. I promise, better yet, HE promises to give you beauty for the ashes of your life if you turn your heart to Him fully today.
God bless you as you seek Him,
Tabitha
