What I Know

I'm not a scholar. I never even completed college. There are a lot of things I don't know. But - I do know the most important things that anybody could ever know. . . . . .

I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that God is real.
I know he sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die a brutal death to cover my sins.
I know Jesus saved my life and because of Him I will have everlasting life when I leave this earth.
I know Jesus is with me every second of every day.

I know my life would be vastly different had I not accepted Him as my Savior.
I know without Him I would not have the promise of a home in Heaven.
I know because of what He did for me, I'll see Him face to face one day and He'll greet me with a hug!!!
I know I'll see my mom and my sweet friend, Beverly, again!

I  know Jesus gives me peace that surpasses anything that anyone else can provide.
I know what it really means to be free!
I know how it feels to have complete peace in my soul, even in times of heartache and trouble.
I know when others let me down or turn their backs on me, He never has and never will.

I know I did nothing to deserve his Amazing Grace: He gave it to me as a gift because He loves me so much.
I know I could never repay Him for that gift that caused him so much pain and agony and ultimately His life.
I know I want to serve Him in this life and in eternity because of that Gift!
I know I've never regretted turning to Jesus and I never will regret asking Him into my heart.

I know it's not always convenient or politically correct to be a Christian and outwardly proclaim my devotion to Him . . .
But, I know He's worth any criticism and persecution that is directed toward me.
I know any ridicule I have suffered in the past or will endure in the future doesn't come close to what He endured for me.

I know I've let Him down so many times. . .
I know I will undoubtedly fail Him in the future . . .
But, I know I'll feel deeply burdened when that happens and
I know His Still Small Voice will guide me back to Him.

I know He is mine and I am His.
I know He'll never throw me away and I'll always be in His Hand.
I know I never had lasting peace and contentment before I bowed before Him for mercy
and relinquished  my life to Him.

I know HE IS THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN, HE IS EVERLASTING LIFE.
I know there are those reading this now who are searching for lasting peace and satisfaction in everything imaginable in this life, but to no avail.
I know what it's like looking for happiness in the wrong places, finding it temporarily, and then hitting rock bottom again, time after time. . .
I know happiness is but for a season, joy is eternal.

I know True and Lasting Joy comes through Jesus Christ and Him alone.
I know how it feels to be alone in the dark, to feel so afraid, so sad, so helpless and hopeless.
I know how it feels to be with lots of people and still feel completely alone and empty.
I know that I am praying that everyone who reads this will come to Jesus and know the same Peace and Joy that I found 34 years ago and that I still have today.

I know that by simply calling out His Name . . . . Jesus . . . . there is a stirring in every heart.
I know that anyone who simply whispers The Sweet Name, The Name Above All Names, JESUS . . . will feel that stirring in their heart.
I know if you know Him as your Savior, the name of Jesus fills your soul with awe and overwhelming joy.
I know if you don't know Him, just the mention of His name will stir you with His convicting power.

I know if you simply ask Him, He'll cleanse the life-stains from your heart and will fill it with indescribable love, joy, and peace like you've never had before.
I know Jesus loves you and He desires more than anything that you'll come to Him.
I know you'll never regret trusting Jesus.

I know a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is the most crucial and life-giving one you can have.
I know none of us are promised another day or even another breath.
I know tomorrow will be too late for too many.

*****If you're reading this and have questions or doubts about any of this, please get in touch with me. God got my attention in a huge way when I was 19 years old and I'll be so glad to share my story with you. When I think of others out there, possibly you, having turmoil and anxiety and total emptiness in their souls, it makes my heart very heavy for you. I know what it's like and I know the remedy for that: Jesus Christ and Him alone. I am a sinner saved by Grace and this I know without a single doubt.
