First Post

Today I was sitting outside of a friends house, looking up at the clouds in the sky thinking about how amazing God is, (You know having a Psalm 46:10 moment) and I couldn't help but think about ways that I could share the gospel of Jesus Christ with other people. A few weeks ago God laid the idea of doing a blog on my heart. You see God blessed me at a young age with the ability to write but for years I knew nothing of God and the wonderful things He can do. I always wrote things just to write and had never thought about writing for the glory of God. But now that I have been saved, baptized, and have (by His grace) built up an amazing relationship with Him through my Lord and savior Jesus Christ, there is nothing I would love more!!!

HEY GUESS WHAT FRIEND!!!! YOU ARE LOVED BY A FATHER WITH AN UNFAILING, UNDYING, NEVER ENDING LOVE!!!!! Do you know how I know this? Because His word says it, in a number of verses. I mean really pick one. For example:

Psalm 13:5 
But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

Psalm 6:4 
Turn, O LORD, and deliver me; save me because of your unfailing love.

Psalm 32:10 
Many are the woes of the wicked, but the LORD's unfailing love surrounds the man who trusts in him.

Isn't it heartwarming to read those verses? :) To know that you have a father that loves you and that there is nothing that you can ever do to lose that love. Let me repeat that for some of you who may miss that part, THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO LOSE YOUR HEAVENLY FATHERS LOVE!!! You may lose the love of your earthly father or your earthly mother, your friend, grandparent, aunt, uncle, sibling but God has told you in scripture "Never will I leave you. Never will I forsake you". It doesn't matter what your trial what your trouble it doesn't matter what you have done!!! The almighty God loves you!!! 

I know some of you just read that and said to yourself "But Kelcy you don't know what I've done, God could never love me knowing what I've done, I don't deserve his love." But I've got some great news for you friend!! Are you ready!?! I don't deserve his love either, none of us do but he loves us anyway!! We are not perfect we are just forgiven. 

Romans 3:23
For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God.

You're right I don't know what you have done, but God does, he knows the depths of your heart, he knows your deepest,  darkest, most personal secrets but when you go to him in prayer and cry out to him asking for his forgiveness guess what??? He forgives and forgets your sin! 

Some of you who know me probably know that last year I was in with some people that I shouldn't have been around. You know that I was dating someone of the same sex and my family was falling apart at the seams. But the Lord God almighty took the situation that I was in, and turned it around, and my first good prayer to God was prayed when my heart wasn't exactly in the right place, but my family and I started going to church, and on April 4, 2012 I gave my life over to Christ and on June 10, 2012 my entire family was baptized together. My faith is growing stronger everyday and I know that there is nothing in this world that is beyond my reach with God on my side. I'm not going to tell you that my life is perfect now it's not, the enemy attacks me every time he gets the chance because he doesn't like my love for God, but when he sends trials my way I stomp the floor, I fight him off with scripture and I remember a verse that can get me through just about anything:

John 16:33
I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.

Make sure you get that last part my friend because that as my pastor would say will set your wet wood on fire!!! Jesus himself overcame this world and so can you!

I want to leave you with a verse that I hope you will remember 

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

When your down in the deepest, darkest part of the valley and your telling yourself that you can't do anymore, that it's just to much, that you don't have the strength. Pray for strength my friend because if you have God on your side you can do anything!! 

I pray that whoever reads this, will have their hearts filled with an overwhelming joy, and I pray that if your not right with God that you get right with him because friend if you read the bible and watch the news you will know that the end days are here. The time of salvation is now. 

May God bless you and yours abundantly!!!
