With the passing of a sweet friend this week, eternity has been on my mind in a big way. And, not just eternity, but peace for this life here on earth... If you need grace, peace, mercy, courage, strength or humility. In case you're "seeking"... it's worth pointing out that a faith in Christ is not elusive. It couldn't be more simple. Faith in Christ isn't about pixie dust, a preacher, a crystal ball, special God gear or anything confusing at all. Living a life with Christ starts as simply as you and Him.
(If you don't like religion, He understands and it's no wonder, it's man made. If you know Christian hypocrites, they're human. Just like all of us.)
This is about you. Faith happens by acknowledging Him in your life (in any way, He doesn't mind informality). It doesn't take a 10 minute prayer with flourishes.
Simply, "God, I put my faith in you." or "Jesus, I trust you. Help me to see." or "God, I want to believe and I do." or "Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom." Luke 23:42
It starts there and it never ends. Jesus sensed faith and belief when a follower touched his cloak in a crowd of people. (Mark 5:25-34) He can sense yours' as well. He's there and he's already got you covered. :)
"Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you." James 4:8
And, so the "relationship" builds, just like any other relationship builds and you come to know Him by praying, listening to His voice and getting to know Him even better through His Word.
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me." Revelation 3:20
I pray you come to know Him and know Peace.
"And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep Christ's love is." Ephesians 3:18
Praying for you to meet the greatest friend you will ever know,
Rebekah

Thank you for sharing the Gospel here and everywhere. You're a light in my life. xoxo!
Amen! ;) <3
Well said. I am so thankful that God has crossed our paths again. I think he knew I needed you. You are so precious.
Deep and wide, deep and wide, there's a fountain flowing deep and wide!
Jesus loves us all. I'm not the perfect man or Christian and I'm no where close... But Even with all my train wrecks and character flaws Jesus is standing right there beside me dusting me off when I screw up and loving me.
Oh how he loves me!
This little light of mine ... I'm gonna let it shine ... won't hide it under a bushel ... won't let satan blow it out ... let it shine till Jesus comes ... I'm gonna let it shine.
Some days it's brighter than others but I am so happy that I have HIS BIG light for my little light! It helps me in this dark world & I hope it helps
you all, too! If not ... let HIM light you up today so you won't be the dark anymore! He has enough light to go around!
Thank you Jesus for lighting me up! I can see clearly now!
....and His name is JESUS. Name above ALL names, Prince of Peace, Mighty God, Lamb slain from the foundation of the earth, King of Kings, Lord or Lords, Majesty, Lion of Judah, and ....friend. Thank you Beka for this 'overflow'. Let it go, preach it! I love you so.
Beka, my heart overflows with joy as you share your faith and belief in the Lord Jesus Christ. You have a wonderful way of simplifying the "Way" to those who are seeking "something" but don't know just how to reach out to their very best friend, Jesus, who loves them so. God bless you and anoint you. If everybody knew how much He loves them, they would run toward him. O, how I love Him and I love you. You are very dear and very special to me.
