Standing with Jesus….

Trading my sorrows, trading my pain for his everlasting love and life of abundance

Hello friends,

I am trading my pain, trading my sorrows for his everlasting love and the life of abundance, he died for. Making his sacrifice count for my life today.

Turning a page, releasing all of me for all of him. Today, tomorrow, always. God is good.

I need to let go of the past. Not dwell on the former things, but trusting and choosing to see, that he truly is doing a new thing, that the new beginning is here. Now. At my fingertips.

The spirit guides me into the fullness of life. Letting go of these memories, that bound me to the life of false responsibility. Letting go of the lies, that bound me to living by works, not by his grace.

Jesus, I need you, to show me the way. I am willing to step out in faith and confidence. I can’t keep waiting. My time is now. Please come and get me, help me to cut unhealthy ties and free me from bondage, that is still holding me down.

I have a purpose and a mission. Other people not stepping up, should not hold me down, from living the purpose and the dream you prepared for me.

Thank you for renewed strength. Thank you for a greater measure of faith. Thank you for your deep love. I love you to pieces. You always put a smile on my face, even when all I can do is weep. Smiling through the tears, and seeing the crown of life handed to me. Thank you for teaching me to look up always.

You are my one and only. I cannot resist your love. Amen. Praising you for all that you are and all that you do. 💗

Amen

Missing him – trusting to be united once again 💑

What has been intended for evil, you turn it for our good and for your glory – thank you, Jesus. You are perfect in love, you have not forgotten us – thank you Jesus 🙌

Hello my friends,

I have a confession to make: In the spiritual realm and in my heart, my precious Jesus is real and present. He is my eternal husband, my lover, my best friend, my provider, he who sees me,  and I love him with such abandon.

Yet, in the here and now, I am still missing my man with all that I am. I am human, and I long for him, to come back, and claim me for his own. I feel his presence, but he is not here…..he is only in my mind, my heart. – You may have read my post in one of my previous blogs: when all of me is surrendered to Christ, and all of him is surrendered to Christ – then we can see Jesus face to face, even today.

Every day of my life, I pray for my man to come back to me.

In the past, very often I felt that he and I, we were so close to meeting again. Yet it has never happened – always Christ showed up in these moments, urged me once again, to let him show me the way…..and I did. I gave all of me to him. I will never forsake him, the enemy tried many times to provoke me, to let go of the love of my life – due to loneliness in the here and  now, persecution from my family, struggles of many kind but I realized, that he is all I need.

May I ask you, is it wrong, to miss my man so much, the man, the Lord brought into my life almost 21 years ago? He and Jesus are one for me…

The longing to meet him face to face (Again) is huge – missing him is just a part of me…..ever since I misunderstood his last words to me and walked away. I miss him – there is not a day, that I do not talk to him, and tell him, how much I love him, how much I miss him and how much I need him.

I want him by my side more than anything – there is a void in my soul, that can only be filled, by the other side of me. He is all I ever wanted, and my arms are opened wide.

I miss you so much, my love, please come back to me.

Over the years, I have prayed to God Almighty, to take away this longing, if this wasn’t for me, if God wanted me to let go of this love forever. Yet, he never did.

The longing got deeper and deeper. God asked me to surrender this love into his hands, and I did – often with huge tears running down my face, because I thought this was letting go of this one big dream of mine, Letting go of my heart’s desire forever. No other dream is as deep as this one. I always wanted a retreat center, where people could find peace and rest for their souls. I can forgoe that. But him, I cannot.

Today I know, the Lord wanted me to let go of the pedestal, that I had put the man, or the relationship status on.

Before I embraced Christ more fully through all the challenges and changes of the last years, I always thought, that he – my man – would be my save all, fix all and change all. Give me the solutions to my problems, make me strong, make me happy, peaceful and lift my burden. Being with him meant, that finally I could feel safe in this world.

That was, what needed to be changed. I had to realize, that all this, only Christ can be and give. Not another human being can carry my burden and lift it off my shoulders.

I should not expect that of my man. It would be too huge a burden for him, unless he had surrendered all of him to Christ as well. When we have given all our burdens to the Lord, he gives us rest, our yoke becomes easy and our burden is light. We do not expect the other to carry our load.

I miss him and I no longer want to be alone. He can be human, make mistakes, mess up, just like I did and will do – because we are human – but I want to be imperfect with him, want to walk through this life together with him, because God never meant for us to be alone.

I firmly believe, that God has placed this longing in my heart. Otherwise he would have taken it away, he has lifted me higher and higher, purified my heart’s desire, given me deeper understanding of what true love really is. Taught me obedience to his word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

All I know today is: I love him forever and ever. Jesus is Lord, and God says, it’s not good for man to be alone, this is why he created woman out of man’s rib.

I want you back. I miss you. I am so sorry, that I didn’t trust the Lord, to bring you back into my life then. I do it now. I go wherever you take me. Thank you, Jesus, for opening my eyes to life in the fullness of Christ.

Forever your friend

Youschka ❤️

In Awe at his faithfulness.

What has been intended for evil, you turn it for our good, and for your glory – thank you Jesus. You are perfect in love, you have not forgotten us – thank you Jesus 🙌😘

Hello my friends,

I stand in awe at his amazing faithfulness: yesterday my timehop stated, that a year ago true Grace had happened to us…..and that all of his promises are true, especially the one stated above, that all things work together for our good.

Honestly, as I read this on timehop yesterday, I couldn’t even remember, what had happened two years ago. Today there was a blog post of mine, that had been published a year ago: ‘It’s been a year’ – well, now I do remember. And given the circumstances of that moment in time two years ago, God has come through for us and caused it to work for our best. 

Our best is a wonderful and fun filled relationship with my son. I got to personify God’s grace to him that day. I understood, what happened when Jesus was on the cross, and the magnitude of his sacrifice, which reaches into today, and very specifically into my son’s life – and mine for that matter. 

I dare to say, that we would all not be at the place, where we are today, we would not have all these redemptive moments of the last 2 years, where Jesus very clearly showed us, that he is here, that he loves us, that he is my boy’s father and that he goes out of his way, to bless his beloveds – his chosen ones.

Thank you Jesus. Therefore I count it all joy, even the hardships and challenges in life. They drew me closer into his arms. I can never ever leave this wonderful place of comfort, of trust and pure joy. Life in his presence is worth it all.

So, here I stand, and I say thank you for all the pain and the hardships over the years……as I would not live in his presence the way I do now, had it not been for all of it. 

The lessons I learned, the mistakes I made, the wrong choices I made, the tears I cried, the pain I suffered – it all brought me closer and closer into the arms and the presence of my beloved. This is where I belong, this is where I need and want to be.

Thank you, Jesus for your great love! For your Mercy, for you Grace and for your Forgiveness – for dying for me…..that I might live my wildest dreams and have life to the fullest. I love you, and I will love you for all eternity.

The greatest challenges in the past, meant the greatest blessings, because you drew me close.

My friends, he loves you just the same. With him, your best is yet to come. 

Your friend, 

Youschka 

The Lord is faithful – his love endures forever 🙌

What has been intended for evil, you turn it for our good and for your Glory. You are perfect in love, you have not forgotten us. Thank you Jesus

My friends,

it’s been a very long time since my last post, but here I am standing stronger and taller in the presence of my beloved. Every trial in the past, he has used, to pull me closer into his embrace.

My circumstances are still the same: the health of my parents has not improved by much, or has actually deteriorated. It’s still 5 to 12 financially speaking – but that already is amazing, as the time has stood still for the last couple of months (he has provided in the meantime for two mortgage payments and he has provided for ⅔ of my daughter’s school tuition) which means it still is 5 to 12 and not 12 yet. Thank you Jesus!

He has provided his redeeming grace for us on many levels – and we are moving upwards. Sometimes it’s more a crawl, but upward none the less.
Today at church, he has reassured me, that he knows exactly where I am at, and where my parents are at. His grace is always sufficient. He knows about our fears, our grievances – and he will make a way, even if we have only a little faith.

Mom has had another cardio version, and it clearly seems, that her strength is coming back – ever so slowly, but it’s coming back.

Grandparents Day at my daughter’s school came and went, and due to my mother’s poor health, I was blessed with a privilege, that mothers normally don’t get: I got to be there and enjoy the program sitting beside my mother, and not working in the kitchen, only sneaking in, to see my daughter’s grade performing. Even though it’s due to a sad cause (my mom not being well), I thoroughly enjoyed the program and the mingling with the grandparents. Thank you Jesus – you always make a way!

Yet, the morning, when I took my daughter to school and I went in to ask to reserve us a seat, cause mom was really slow, and weak, I felt this surge of tears well up inside of me, and the tears kept coming, as I asked for the favor, as I realized, this could very well be the last time either of my parents is around for this special occasion.

I cried for their sake, and I surrendered them to the will of God. If the struggle here on earth gets too much for them, I release them into his sovereign will for them. I even pleaded for God to end their suffering…..as hard as that was. But I know, he will receive them into heaven – and maybe it will only be on the other side of death – as much as I would like them to cross over here, and enjoy some more years being loved on by their children and grandchildren.

God is in control and his plans are to prosper them, even in the dire circumstances they have to walk through right now.

God is faithful – his love never ends – he is always near, and the circumstances are under his control, and his grace is sufficient for us all the time. 

My heart is crying out to my beloved to reveal himself in a very personal and tangible way to my parents – that they would be able to find rest in his embrace, just as I have found it in him a while back.
I am getting ready to travel to Europe this week, to get my father to a hospital in Switzerland and have him checked out and assessed, in order to find the best option possible for his present condition.

My mother is coming with me, as she really longs to go home – to the place, where she speaks the language. Also, even though my parents have not been in a healthy relationship of mutual respect and love, I pray and I believe, that due to the latest happenings in their life, they may actually appreciate each other more and be more forebearing with each other. 

I truly hope, that in that last season of their lives, they will learn to be more mindful of their partners (spouse, children….).

With God all things are possible – my hope is in him, finishing the work he began in them. He is the Alpha and the Omega – from our first breath to our last, we are in his hands.

In Jesus’ name I pray for all of you, and I hope that Jesus is as close to your heart, as he is to mine. I hear his heartbeat in mine, and that makes me the luckiest/most blessed woman on this planet.

Your friend always,
Youschka

From Servant to Friend, to Brother and Child of God , to beloved, bride of Christ🙌

What has has been intended for evil, you work it for our good and for your Glory. You are perfect in Love, you are Sovereign over us.

Hey friends,

It seems as if I am on a roll. Here is what the Spirit of the Lord has revealed to me just today.

The Old Testament days, mankind were servants of God – they could not stand in his presence, without fear to die, they trembled and did not know, how to approach his throne.

The New Testament days, mankind became friends, disciples and followers of Jesus.

Today, we are children of God, brothers and sisters of Christ, he is our beloved husband, we his beloved bride.

Do you see it? We can now approach the throne of God without blemish, dressed in white (aka righteousness). It’s all due to the sacrificial death that Christ died for us, while we were still sinners.

He wants to be the one we run to at all times, the one we bring the good, the bad and the ugly. All that concerns us. And we can bring him all of us, even our dark side – because nothing is too dark, for him not to make it shiny and new.

Plus he knows it anyway. You cannot hide your heart. He knows your motives and he knows what you are going to do, say, yes even think, before you actually do.

He paid the ultimate price – because he loves YOU!!! Yes, YOU.

We can be ourselves, without being afraid of judgment. If he thinks, you need to change, he will convict you, ever so gently, and you will see why and you will gladly do, what he tells you, because you then will see his point and you will love him.

Can you imagine the Joy he wants to give to you – if we remain in him, like he remains in the father, we, our souls will be filled with an indescribable joy – and this Joy is in the Lord. And this Joy will be ours forever…..even in hardship and trial, you will have peace and joy – because the Joy of Jesus is our strength.

Yesterday the Lord prompted me to surrender my mother and my father AGAIN into his hands. Their sickness and their health are his to define. I cried, because there is nothing I would hate more than them becoming more sick, less themselves, less independent, or them even dying.

But the Lord showed me, that in Christ we are healed, no matter if that is here on earth or in heaven. But again, it’s up to them, if they embrace Christ now or later.

He also showed me, that he has them, and us all covered. For Jesus paid the ultimate price for all mankind at the cross.

Now this is what I call ‘The Good News’ – that is why he has not yet returned. That we all can consciously choose him!

Will you? I sure hope you do! He loves you so much. Talk to him today – he is waiting!

Praise the Lord for his faithfulness – Amen

Youschka

Bottom line

What has has been intended for evil, you work it for our good and for your Glory. You are perfect in Love, you are Sovereign over us.

Hello friends, 

I know, it has been a while – phewww!!! The children are back to school, a couple of relaxing days at Family Camp at Ryde Lake Camp at the end of August came and went.

Sommer seems a lifetime ago, not even sure, if it ever even happened this year, with my mom being sick and weak, my dad falling and breaking his hip. 

Then the scrambling to get everybody set for school, mom not being well again, spending hours at ER at the hospital. Looking after my sister’s dog, when she is away, and him having huge separation anxiety issues (such as pooing and peeing in the house being one of the symptoms when left alone), my mother throwing up because of the medications prescribed by the ER doctor on a somewhat empty stomach. It’s been just crazy, and it seems to never end. 

Not to mention the sometimes dreadful news from across the big pond (aka concerning my dad’s health) – just writing about it, leaves me breathless. 

We’re hanging in there, and even through all this: the Joy of the Lord is our strength. 

In all the turmoil, he has not forgotten us – quite the contrary is true: on two major accounts, he has come through in a very grand and amazing way – one concerning my son, and one concerning my daughter.

Both happened on the same day, and I was in awe and practically, literally, honestly and absolutely floored over his faithfulness and his goodness towards my family. He is simply amazing, and I will never love another! Thank you Jesus – you are so close in my time of need. Thank you.
He never once failed me over the last months, even in the midst of accusations, trial and tribulation, he gave me his peace. I know, he will come through for me always. I know, he will not let the righteous fall, and all my needs are met in the glorious riches in Christ Jesus. 

I surrendered my little family into his hands, I surrendered my parents health into his hands, I surrendered my finances into his hands. And I stand firm in the promises he has given me concerning all that I surrendered. 

He is directing my steps and he is making my paths straight. Thank you Jesus – you are all I need.

So, the bottom line is: Everything that happened over the last years, as hard as it was, it has brought me closer to my precious Jesus’ heart. The more I suffered, the more I needed him, the more I looked for him, the more he found me, and the more I surrendered all of me, the more he drew me into his arms – the safer I felt, the more joyful I became.

I get it now: if he never did more than that, give me his peace and surround me with the knowledge, that he is here with me indeed, I would have all I need. Because from this place of continuously dwelling in his presence, flows the greatest peace, the deepest joy.

And then he floors me with his marvelous blessings, his tremendous grace and his overflowing mercy. 

September 3rd was a day of answered prayers – that day, the heaven opened up and his grace flooded my soul to an extend never imaginable before. Now I know, that truly everything is possible with him, who calls me his own – and he is mine. 

Now I know, that really God is able to do exceedingly abundantly more than what we could ever imagine. He is God Almighty. And he has certainly not forgotten me and my children. Thank you, Jesus, for your great love. If before I doubted, that he would go all the way for me, I don’t anymore.

The Spirit of the Lord sure rests upon this household – and I am still in a state of shock about all that transpired that day. But this is my God – he cares. And if he allows trials, it’s to pull us close, that we will feel his great and awesome love.

Then mom got sick, and I had to take her into emerge. This could have caused the peace to flee. But no way – again, the Lord provided wisdom and knowledge of his goodness and that truly he loves mom, too. He is cleansing her system. And sometimes that comes through sickness – that she would have nowhere else to go, but return to him, who loves her more than anyone here on earth could.

He has been faithful since the beginning of time – and he is not going to quit now. That is another one of his promises, I lean in on today: he, who began the good work in us, will never quit, until the coming of the Lord.

May this be of comfort to you, as you may live through trials of many kind. God will use them all for your very best. He is going to give you the desires of your heart – just delight in him.

Jesus is Lord, and in him we have fullness of joy! Forever.

Amen,

Youschka 💖

‘Ya Lublu tebya’ war sein Abschiedswort….

What the enemy intended for evil, you turn it for our good and for Your Glory – You are perfect in Love, You are SOVEREIGN over us.

Hello my friends

This song is floating through my mind this morning, and here is what I learned just a few months ago:

‘Ya Lublu tebya’ war sein Abschiedswort – Ich verstand es nicht und fuhr weit weit fort…..erst nach langer Zeit erfuhr ich es:  ‘Ya Lublu tebya’ heisst Ich liebe Dich.

These are the lyrics from a German song, that I loved as a child….bittersweet but beautiful!

Well, here is how this applies to my story and what I learned shortly before Christmas (about almost 19 years later).

When I walked away from the love of my life, his last words over the phone were: we were never friends…..I took it as: I never cared about you anyway. But the Lord has shown me, that quite the contrary was true. He never considered me a friend. He always saw more in me…..but I did not hear this, as the enemy had stripped me of my confidence and dignity, my God given birthright – to know, who I am in him, and that I am lovable and there was going to be a man who would love me like I dreamed he would….

I thought, he meant, that I never meant anything to him – that was the death blow to my hope of him and I sharing the future I had dreamed about…. – I walked away!

‘Könnt’s noch einmal sein, wie es damals war, ich ging hin zu ihm, um nie mehr zu gehn…..

If it could be once more, as it has been then, I would go to him, to I never ever leave….

With all this – misunderstanding him, not trusting the Lord for his plan to unfold in my life, having another relationship with another man, a broken marriage with 2 children later, I see the truth:

By walking away, not trusting, I have stripped my children of their happy and healthy forever family, just as I have stripped myself of my dream of ‘Happily Ever After’.

The consequences of my lack in trust have caused all of us tremendous pain. And I am grieved over that pain, that my lack of faith caused all of us – yet I truly did not know any better at the time – thus: Christ’s prayer on the cross is for me: Father, please forgive them, for they know not what they do.

And he does forgive us – all the time, he has healed many of my wounds over the course of my life,  and I know, he is healing the wounds of my children. I pray that he is healing the pain, that I have inflicted upon the love of my life and also my ex-husband. For I never wanted any of the pain to go around.

God’s promises are true today, as they have been yesterday: he will work it for our good and for His Glory, what the enemy intended for evil.

God is not done with my story, and the more I allow him to write his story in my heart, the more he will be able to transform it for his Glory.

I don’t know, what that could possibly mean, but I trust the Lord, that he knows best, and that my dreams for my ‘Happily Ever After’ are safe in his hands.

God is good all the time – and he loves me and my children more than I can fathom – therefore I place our future in his capable hands.

God bless you, my friends, today and always,

Amen!

The Presence of the Holy Spirit

What the enemy intends for evil, you turn it for our good and for Your GLORY. You are perfect in love, you are SOVEREIGN over us. #ThankyouJesus 🙌💖🎉

Hello my dear friends, 

How is your day going? And how has the days, months been since the beginning of 2015? I seriously would like to hear your stories and testimonies. God is doing a huge thing right now – can you feel it?

Well, in case you are wondering how life is going at our house….well, here is a piece of news: we are staying in Canada for the time being. Our visas just have been approved. God is good and he sure knows the plans, he has for us.

As for me and my family, we will follow the Lead of Christ as to where he wants us to go. For now that means staying put. Praise him.

I am still not sure, what that means specifically. Will we stay in the house we are living in, or will we move…..not sure – if we move, where do we move? Questions questions…..but I know he will answer every single one, in his time. He knows the slightest detail of our situation and he will provide. My trust is in him alone, for every good gift is from above.

The peace that has been flowing through my heart for all the months, since my financial security was ripped out from beneath me from my original family, is still flowing and my trust in his provision is huge if not to say paramount.

He knows exactly, how much we have, and how long that will cover our expenses…..so I am not distressed. God has been faithful in the past, he will continue to be faithful.

Many of the other hardships we have endured and walked through over the last months, are still ongoing, but the Holy Spirit continues to testify to my spirit, that all is well. He walks the road with us and he will not forsake his own, and his own we are.

When the Holy Spirit dwells within you, your hope never runs out, your faith gets strengthened to an extend, that I never thought possible – yet now I am living in it. 

Add an enormous measure of peace – the peace that surpasses all understanding, and a joy that cannot be contained, to the mix, and you have the essence of the life we are living in right now.

The circumstances have not changed, but my God is bigger than any one of them or even the combination of them all. The Holy Spirit surely testifies about the Greatness of my Lord and Saviour, who will never fail nor abandon us.

Since I have him, I have all I need. He is my one and only, and I am thrilled to live in this place of Holy Communion with the Lord of Lords, experiencing, that my joy truly comes from him alone. His peace never deserts me anymore.

Those of you, who have arrived at this marvelous place, know what I am talking about, let’s praise him for his faithfulness and his great love for us. 

Those of you, who have not found that place yet, I pray, you would feel encouraged because of my testimony. He loves you just as much – it’s not a favor he bestows on just a chosen few. Each and everyone alive on earth right now, can reach this place.

All it takes, is: take your eyes off your circumstances and look up – fix your eyes on Jesus, and the things of the world will grow strangely dim. I can attest to that. He will show you the life he has for you. I know that it will just blow your mind – it’s all you ever dreamed about and more.

It is true, that when you seek first his kingdom, all else will be given unto you. I don’t have all the earthly things, that I thought were important before, but I have this relationship with the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, that I do not have to worry about these things, because he is my husband, my provider, the father of my children, the one who holds every aspect of my tomorrow.

I am so in love with him – and I know, he loves me even more, because he is God! And he loves you exactly like that.

Run to him, he will never disappoint you – forever your friend,
Youschka 

Amazing Revelation today 💖

What the enemy intends for evil, you turn it for our good and for your Glory – faithful in love, you are sovereign over us! #praisetheLord

Wow, my friends….

The Lord never ceases to amaze me: this morning he showed me, that when we dwell in his Glory, we see clearly his design of the world and the situation before us. We see his Grace truly being enough, and we see his Justice at work.

When we fall into seeing the world as the world sees, we see fault and separation, we see evil and good – and we feel justified to be the judge of the situation before us.

Yet, we never are to be the judge of any situation brought before us. God is the only judge of situations and mankind. We are called to love and include always. When we don’t, we do not live out Gods plan for his creation.

So, friends, take this to heart – God wants to move mightily in your life, but he can only do so, when you are so desperate for God, that nothing else will satisfy you, than seeing him at work.

When you walk in his Glory, you see forever and you meet God in every second of your day. That means that you have to lay down the judgemental and critical attitude, and that you have to enter into the presence of the Lord without reserve.

He will show you his plan, he will teach you his decrees and he will set you apart. This may involve stripping you of everything you placed on a pedestal in your life – for he wants all of you!

But he will be faithful and lift you higher than you ever thought, he could lift mankind. He will walk with you, just as he walked with Adam and Eve before the fall.

It’s amazing, to walk with him like that. I get to walk with him more often than not now, and it’s with thanks to all the adversity we have walked through over the years. He has changed my heart and renewed my mind. I view life so differently now, and my trust in him has skyrocketed – I never even imagined that I could have such tremendous trust. Grateful beyond anything I ever hoped for. He is faithful and he is just. He tore the veil and gave me his eyes, his ears and his heart, to truly walk with him.

I can still feel the enemy trying to pull me away, by putting doubt in my heart, but luckily, my God is bigger than the father of lies, and he confirms the things of the Spirit of the Lord immediately, and gets me back on track in minutes, sometimes only fractions of seconds.

Can I tempt you to follow me into this holy place of instant communion with God? My prayer and my hope is, to find y’all there.

For where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is peace everlasting and hope is abundant. All your needs are met and God is near all the time. Jesus is your source of strength and he never fails you or abandons you.

His Grace and his Peace will never leave you, once you enter into the Holy of Holies – think about it: God never intended for us to walk alone. He never planned for us to do life apart from him. Please come and join me, and receive all he prepared for us in the Heavenlies.

He is there, and he is waiting for you!!!

God bless you – forever – Amen

Your friend

I have arrived…. – Glory to God 🙌🎉❤️

What the enemy intends for evil, you turn it for our good and for your Glory – faithful in Love, you are Sovereign over us

Dear friends,

These last weeks have been hard but amazing at the same time. Just this last Tuesday, the Lord, my eternal husband and father of my children, reached in and lifted me higher into his Glory – I can hardly contain it, I am overjoyed.

In the face of adversity, he made sure, that I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he walks right beside me, and that he holds my hand through it all. My sweet and loving Jesus is always right there with me. I hear his heartbeat in mine, and with his feet in mine, I can walk boldly into the flames or floods, that the enemy still keeps trying to throw me in, knowing full well, that the flames will not burn me, and that the flood will not drown me.

It’s tangible, he is here, he is with me, and I love him so.

Certain things, my children and I had to walk through over the last years and still more the last few weeks or months, were truly the devil trying to make us loose heart and give up – thankfully I know, that Jesus won the victory over him, and he has no power over me or mine anymore.

Jesus has redeemed us on the cross. We can choose to live in his resurrection power, or we can choose to be tied down by the worldview – even the legalistic religious view proclaims, that we have to ‘deserve’ redemption. 

Well, the good news is: we don’t – Jesus died for us, when we were still sinners (in rebellion towards him) and we are now clothed in his righteousness – we can never deserve redemption – but we can receive it by faith at any given moment. Thank you Jesus.

Since Tuesday Night, I know, I am one with him forever – I can feel his presence with me all the time.

Everything that the Bible promises, is indeed true – I have arrived!!!

Eternally grateful 

Your friend always and forever,
Youschka
