To Know Him is to Love Him

When the Lord brought me out of darkness into His marvelous light, I was made new. It says in Ezekiel 36:26 God gives us a new heart to love Him and a new spirit which is the Holy Spirit, He deposits within us. When I look back He certainly did that for me but at the time, there was a lot I had to learn, such as developing a relationship with Him. I was desperate to know Him, and I certainly didn’t want to go back to my old way of life with no hope, so I constantly cried out to God to make Himself real to me.

As the journey began…

~I learned to listen to His voice and not let anything in the world distract me. I was constantly in His word each chance I got and personalized scriptures into prayers and prayed them into my life every day.

~I learned how to live for Him and please Him, according to His word

~I learned how to renew my mind and stay focused on Him and His ways, by meditating on His word.

~I learned to activate the Holy Spirit in me, by acknowledging Him every morning and inviting Him to be a part of my life throughout the day.

~I learned how to awaken my new heart to love Him by spending precious moments with Him. The more I spent time with Him the closer we became.

~I learned that passion grows for Him as you praise Him and rids you of the spirit of heaviness.

~I learned as I waited on Him, I was stronger, and as time went on it didn’t matter anymore how long I had to wait.

~I learned to be content in all things as my trust and deep faith in Him blossomed

~I learned that I had overcome fear as my relationship with Him grew.

~I learned the importance of keeping Him alive in me every moment and to never let go of my first love.

~I learned to keep in tune with Him every moment and to stay in His word so those moments of joy and excitement, when I first met Him would stay alive in my heart always.

~I learned the importance of spending time with Him in His presence in His secret place.

As time went on spiritual blessings overflow with bouts of joy and laughter, and a peace that is beyond words. Spiritual treasures I experience when things don’t go the way I expected. Of all the relationships I’ve had in my lifetime, there is not one that could ever compare to my relationship with the Lord. There are no words to describe it. What a powerful, most amazing life I’ve lived in these past 20 years and still live today, since I gave Him what little I had back then. My life was in such despair and I was at my lowest and He has raised me up to the highest of high. A glorious spiritual adventure full of surprises. So, if you are searching for answers in life and have lost all hope, Jesus can and will turn your life around, and give you a new hope beyond the believable and an amazing future if you surrender your all. He is now to me, my everything, and my desire is to know Him more and more. He has proved to me over the years how much He loves me, and He is more to me than my every dream. I love Him with all my heart, soul and mind and all my strength as it says in Mark 12:30 and I will keep holding His hand and move forward with Him. I pray my testimony will be an inspiration of hope to you and cause you to seek Him with all your heart for He won’t let you down. Love & Blessings, Lollita Faith
