Encouragement
{It was August 13, 2001 when Jesus Christ first touched my soul, to accept him as my Lord and Savior. He said to me:
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
After examining Christianity in comparison to other religions, He had proved himself to be the only Truth.
{Shortly thereafter, He touched me to tell the world that he was real. He said:
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”
I then went up and down the streets of Colorado and shared with all that I came across that God is real.
{When my world isolated me from their ranks because of my new found faith, He touched me and said:
"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."
And up unto this point, He has been with me, through the good times and the bad times.
{When I became discouraged and fell back into sin. He touched me and said:
"Go now and leave your life of sin."
It was a touch of conviction and rebuke, but at the same time it was a touch of a loving and forgiving father.
{When I lost control of the ability to manage my finances and was worried about how I would pay my bills, he touched me and said:
“Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
And when I then diligently sought after his face, he mercifully replenished my finances.
{When the Lord touched me to convert my style of rapping over reggae music for the edification of his body and to praise him, he said:
“Sing to him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.”
I then went out and shared my love of Jesus Christ through my music and my writing.
{Today he is touching me to share with you that in spite of what you have faced; He is ready to touch you with his everlasting love, mercy, joy and life. He said in this world that you would face all kinds of trials and tribulations. For some it is to test your faith, for some it is to draw you into a relationship with Him.
If your faith is being tested, embrace his touch and allow yourself to be like gold refined by fire, because you will be rewarded for your faithfulness. If he is drawing you into a relationship with Him, embrace his touch, and taste and see that the Lord is good. Because the Lord redeems his servants; and no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.
