Hi all!
I just wanted to share something that's on my heart with you. Lately, I've been fought spiritually REALLY hard and somewhere along the way I decided to stop fighting back. I began putting things back on that I had put off, and doing things that I usually didn't do anymore. The devil was pushing me farther and farther away from God, and I was allowing him to do so. But today, I decided that with Jesus' help, I'm taking my life back and living up to the standard I know to be true.
What I have to say to you is, if you fall GET BACK UP! We all make wrong choices and we fall from time to time, but we MUST get up and continue our journey in our relationship with Jesus. It does not matter what you have done, Jesus will still welcome you back with open arms. Don't beat yourself up because you fell; Jesus was beaten for that. He shed His blood for our sins. We must repent and use His blood to cleanse ourselves from all ungodliness. That's how you get up, by repentance.
Be encouraged. Don't give up the fight, even if you feel as if you're losing or you can't win. If we seek Christ, He will fight our battles for us, but we must be willing to submit to Him. Remember, we must go through a test in order to have a testimony.
Love and Peace,
xoxo Reese
