For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16
Day 11: Jesus Heals
As I share during these 100 days of healing I want to be authentic. I live my life depending on help from on high. My parents taught me about the bible when I was a child. Growing up I learned about a God who loves me. I learned that I could bring my problems to him. As I got older I saw my parents pray. Every morning they had worship. When there were major concerns they would pray about them. It gave them a peace and confidence.
I was so impressed with what I saw I wanted to have that experience for myself. As I went into the teenage years I really began searching for answers. I prayed and studied the bible. I started having experiences like my parents.
I wanted to do my own thing and the ideals of my parents seemed restrictive. This collided with my desire to know more about God and follow Him. And then my choices would leave me needing rescue and time and time again I would pray and see things work out.
I’ve also seen people use Jesus however they want to. I’ve seen popular celebrities claim Jesus and then promote lifestyles that don’t align with what He taught. I’ve seen religious leaders use religion to control others.
So I want to invite you to read the bible for yourself and pray and ask God to reveal himself to you. And if you are comfortable doing so please share stories of how you come to know Jesus in the comments.
Today, I come to Jesus for healing, love, and power.
