” I chose this journal because it spoke to me as a work in progress and that’s how I feel. This is what I believe God is saying to me with it: Work or play, Jesus is the key to unlock the answers we need in our lives. So often, our past haunts us and we allow Satan to really put the screws to us. Not being aware of who we really are, we have pieced together the fabric of our lives the best we knew how.”
“We have a picture that we have painted in our minds of how our lives should be, who we should be, and how we should act. Most of the time, we fall short of that picture so we clean up, dress up and put a smile on our face, hoping no one will realize we’re not who or what we should be.”
“It is only when Jesus comes, shining His light on us that we can begin to see. He illuminates our spirit and our minds. He fills us with His Holy Spirit.”
“The Holy Spirit turns on the flow of His Spirit within us, cleansing us, healing our wounds and making us whole.”
“Jesus is the passport, our passport into the kingdom of God. He gives us the keys to the kingdom of God. He gives us the building blocks we need to build on day by day. Jesus is the gift we get to open, every day. ”
