Choosing Life

John 10:10 Jesus said He came that we might have life and have it more abundantly.



Two weeks since my last post. Wow! Have they been intense!?





I have had many hours to ponder what does it mean to live?

How is abundant living different from the slow drawn out process of dying?


Truly?!



My body seized 3 times, and I experienced God's presence during each one. He very clearly spoke to me saying, "Michelle, do you want to live or die?"


Of course I want to live I assured Him!! But, He said, "It is only possible to experience abundant life IN CHRIST under the influence of MY SPIRIT and within MY Heavenly Kingdom..." (that was sounding like my earthly days were over to me.)



However, He is SO GOOD that He continued His explanation of the simple question He set before me.


"Michelle, I have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly. But the wages of sin is death. So the REAL choice is really between ME and sin and the consequences of your choice (MY DECISION!!!) start this instant. These consequences will either be enjoyed or endured long before the day your body stops breathing!"

Jesus loves me,

this I know,

for the Bible

tells me so.

Little ones to

Him belong,

they are weak but

He is strong.

Daddy, Thank you for being so strong even when I am so weak! I love you. You are my life! For to LIVE IS CHRIST!!! and someday, to die from this earthly body will be gain(:

My Song for Today...

CHOOSE by Christy Nockels

Let me be in love with what You love.

Let me be most satisfied in You.

Forsaking what this world has offered me

I choose to be in love with you.

I will choose to be in love with you.

Let me know the peace that's mine in you.

Let me know the joy my heart can sing.

For I have nothing Lord apart from You.

I choose to call on Christ in ME!

I will choose to call on Christ in me!

For in the fullness of who You are

I can rest in this place.

And giving over this, my journey Lord

I see nothing but Your Face!

Let me know that You have loved me first

Let me know the weight of my response

For you have long pursued my wandering heart

I choose to glory in Your Cross

I will choose to glory in Your Cross!

And I bow down... humbly I bow down... humbly I bow down... I bow down

My Beloved here I am, I bow down, I bow down to YOU!
