Jesus is Life

If I didn’t love you all or care so much for Gods people, (ALL OF YOU) then I would not be so adamant on trying to reach you all and share with you all my testimonies of my salvation, and my saving grace through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.

I don’t share Jesus Christ with all of you to annoy you all, I am trying to open up the eyes of your hearts, because Jesus is coming back soon. My biggest prayer is for ALL of you to fall in love with Jesus as I have. If I were able to show you all how my life was inside and out before I came to Christ, I guarantee you would all be awed at ALL the things He saved me from.

Pain, addiction, anger, grief, hate, fear, worry, anxiety (I used to be on so many meds for years for my bipolar, anxiety, I would even black out) but since I in ALL sincerity and humility (because Jesus loves a humble and repentant heart) I no longer take ANYTHING, no meds, NOTHING. I am not saying every person who comes to Christ has exactly the same experience, because we do and we don’t.  God knows us all even better than He knows ourselves, and He gives and takes aways the very things He knows we either don’t need or that we do need.  

It can be scary or overwhelming at first, because everything you once knew is being flipped upside down, and that is one of the most beautiful things about Jesus, He takes what the world calls shame, and turns it into redemption, and a testimony. He takes what the world calls weak and makes us strong in and through Him.

I absolutely do not claim to know it all or have all the answers, but what I do know with ALL of my heart is that JESUS CHRIST died for me and saved my life, I have experienced His goodness on this side of life, and I know with all my heart and soul that I will experience and enjoy His love and Glory on the other side of this life.

SO, when I say, “Remember Jesus Christ Loves you all the MOST”!!! I mean exactly that, because I have known His love and still am in His love, He has broken my chains of addiction, that stemmed from many losses, and pain, and I am not ashamed to say that is was using intravenously, because someone out there that is going through all I went through needs to hear that there is hope, and that hope is ONLY found in Jesus Christ.

I have given up alcohol, cigarettes, vaping, nicotine pouches, and weed. I can’t help others if I am being a hypocrite. And since Jesus died for me willingly, why would I not do the same for Him and pick up my cross daily. My life is far from perfect, but I know where my hope lies, and where I go when I am facing trials. I am in college now in my third year, obtaining my BA in Social Work at Bethel University and this is the path God is leading me on and I trust Him with all that I am. I am 'gathering treasures for heaven' and those treasures are lost souls waiting to be found by Jesus.

My happiness comes by chance, but joy is a choice. Joy is choosing to be thankful when we could be ungrateful. It is choosing to see the good when we could see the bad. It is my constant prayer coupled with continual thanksgiving, because when we choose joy in our hearts, nothing, not even the worst of circumstances, can rob us of that.

I choose life, so I choose Jesus, and I hope and pray you do too.

Love Amber Nicole.
