A Testimony by
(As printed in the

How
can we thank Jesus enough for reconciling us to Yahweh our Father God?
Can we ever praise Him adequately for the undeserved salvation He has freely
given? Special is a life spent with Jesus. But why? Miracles,
healings, blessings, assurances of eternal life, deliverance from bondages and
personality transformations are all wonderful components of a walk with
Jesus. However, it is the ongoing and growing relationship with Jesus
that sustains me through the trials of life, giving me a rest, a peace, and a
joy I could not fathom or comprehend let alone experience as an unsaved person.
Can
we put a price tag on the fact that we are going to go to heaven? As an
unsaved person I searched for a satisfaction this world could not
provide. I had no idea that Jesus was what I lacked. Can I ever
thank God enough for making Himself known to me, a

Along
with any losses we experience, we gain insight into our life priorities with a
transforming revelation: Our circumstances, possessions, financial
status, or health is not who we are. Our value is measured only by the
quality of our relationship with Jesus. Our ongoing heartfelt
communications with Jesus, and our willingness to align ourselves with Him
obediently, are what define our worth in the sight of God.
Above
all else, our deepening love for Jesus is the essence of our being, and the
purpose of our life here. No longer alienated from God, the immense
relief I experience walking with Jesus is an unsurpassed pleasure, which far
exceeds anything I knew before I came to know Him.
