Thank you, Teresa, for a beautifully written and inspirational article. My heart aches when I think of Jesus dying for me on the cross. But I am eternally greatful for his love. Thank you again for reminding us to keep the faith.SandraI am with you on that! Thank you for your faithful support. It means a lot to me! May the Lord continue to bless you!
I must be honest, whenever I read an article and there is scripture quoted I just blurb right past it.As with all religious articles I find it hard to stay tuned to articles with religious themes. Be glad you are in America where this type of article is allowed.HI Mr. Keith, its been a long time. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I respect your feelings.Believe me, I am very glad I live in America for this and many other reasons. I don't take my freedoms for granted. They came with a high price and I am forever grateful to the men and women who faught so long and those who continue to fight and also to God for the freedom I have found in Jesus.Isn't it great all the different articles we can read on SW from diets to faith to catching fish to education of all kinds. You just gotta love it :-)God bless you!Truthful.......and if I may add....... God Bless you!
Thank you. I believe that the spirit Jesus left, lives within us. EverHi Jose, thanks for reading and commenting. Yes, Jesus said all who receive Him will have the Holy Spirit within them as a guarantee for salvation, for instruction, for comfort and for wisdom. The Holy Spirit is the means by which we have our connection from Jesus to the Father. Lord Bless you!
This was a very inspiring article. I thoroughly enjoyed it! ~Stay Blessed~Hi Ronyae, thank you for the kinds words. So glad you enjoyed it. Blessings to you!
Thanks for a well written article! It's always good to have informed positions to read. I encourage others to read this twice!Hi Victor, thanks for the kind words, I hope it blessed you :-)
Dear Teresa,As always you touch the heart of your readers and bring an issue that has been complicated by life, back to the simplicity that God intended. Your devotion to our Lord and the planting of the seeds of salvation that He will harvest is inspiring and encouraging to all. Thank you for surrendering self and loving enough to follow the path that He has laid for you. You are a blessing.With Love,Star LynHi Star! It's good to see you back, its been awhile, I hope things are going smoother since we last talked.Thanks for the encouraging words, they inspire me to keep going :-)God bless you bunches. Love, Teresa
Teresa, when I left religion and entered into relationship with Christ, this has been my focus. You heard His voice and extended the invitation for others to enter into relationship with Him before it is too late. I continue to pray with you and others for those who are unwilling to help themselves. If they only knew what they were missing, eh? I pray this is read by thousands of thousands! A beautiful teaching, my sister. Our love and His blessings to you and your family.
AvisHi Avis, you said it well "when you left religion and entered into a relationship with Jesus Christ", some might wonder what the difference is. And I hope I have made it clear in the many articles I have written in relation to faith.But it is not about following a bunch of rules, it is about falling in love with Jesus because we get to know him through his word. The more time we spend with him, the more we fall in love. Much like building relationships with other people parent/child, friendship, dating/marital.Thanks for you input and joining in prayer! Lord bless you and continue to bless the works of your hands. Still hoping we can meet up someday :-)
Excellent!!! your knowledge of God and his Son is remarkable, I am so proud of you Teresa...keep up the glorious work...and i know that there are people just popping in on searchwarp reading your articles and I know God uses your articles to speak to their hearts...God Bless !Hi Kathy, wow! You made me blush. I feel so blessed to be a part of the family of searchwarp and among the many wonderful writers and witnesses for Christ.Thank you for the encouraging words. Keep reading, keep studying and growing in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Teresa, you are great witness for Christ. I hope many will respond to your -- correction -- God's message that you are delivering.Hi Terry, thank you, I think you are a great witness yourself :-)I do pray for hearts to turn. There are no second chances. We need to keep praying as the Scripture says..."until the fullness of the gentiles has come..."Lord bless you!
Ok Teresa here is a down to earth, clean, movie that will touch your heart. It is called A Walk in the Clouds. Seen it yet? If not do it, period.Hi Robert! Thanks for the recommendation. I have seen at 5 or 6 times, one of my favorite all time movies!!! :-) Hope all is well on your end. God bless
