\"\" <\/strong>This is written with the thoughts of a lost soul who has lived a very difficult life but who responds to Jesus’ call because someone prayed.<\/em><\/h6>\n

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n

Tormented and shattered, life has no meaning.<\/h6>\n
Year after year you wonder why your heart even keeps beating\u2026<\/h6>\n
Thoughts of ending your existence flood every waking minute.<\/h6>\n
No one cares that you’re even in it\u2026<\/h6>\n
Family detests you for the choices you\u2019ve made.<\/h6>\n
No do-overs, no takebacks, emotionless and numb,<\/h6>\n
Go ahead, do it, you\u2019re just a ridiculous bum!\u00a0 <\/em>The enemy hisses at every turn.<\/h6>\n
But why? They never even asked why, you turned out the way you did\u2026<\/h6>\n
Now it doesn\u2019t matter, your life has slid straight into a pit of despair\u2026and so, you\u2019ve come to this place where, there\u2019s no turning back, it’s too heavy to bear~<\/h6>\n
One last glimpse, one final task\u2026and all will be ended. No one will ask, where you went\u2026you’re nothing, a nobody…a useless life just taking up time and space, a person without a face!<\/h6>\n
Tattered woman. Hair matted and diseased. No one wants you, not one of these\u2026<\/h6>\n
But someone, was praying, that somehow, He\u2019d come, and dispel the darkness that was pulling you into the abyss~<\/h6>\n
Jesus calls your name; you try to resist~<\/h6>\n
NO! OH NO! I\u2019m not worthy of this\u2026<\/h6>\n
Standing still, he gently speaks\u2026Miriam, little one, come unto me<\/em>\u2026<\/h6>\n
Turning around you gasp at His words\u2026<\/h6>\n
How did you know my name? I am nothing but scum!<\/h6>\n
I knit you together in your mother\u2019s womb, YOU ARE MINE!<\/em><\/h6>\n
I\u2019ve redeemed you; don\u2019t you know you are one of a kind?<\/em><\/h6>\n
The atmosphere changes, all the darkness becomes light as the love that you feel, lights up the night\u2026<\/h6>\n
Forgiven! Restored! A new name I\u2019ve been given!<\/h6>\n
Embraced by Him, the Savior of heaven!<\/h6>\n
No longer unclean, nor diseased I am healed!<\/h6>\n
Delivered from death, my life has been sealed\u2026<\/h6>\n
Redeemed, by Jesus, the only true King!<\/h6>\n
Broken one, addicted, tormented and undone\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
Do not run away\u2026<\/em><\/h6>\n
I have prayed for you, surrender your life today.<\/em><\/h6>\n
The Prince of Peace is calling your name\u2026<\/h6>\n
Stop! Listen! Turn around and come to Him!<\/h6>\n
Insert your name, everyone, all over the world\u2026He is calling\u2026<\/h6>\n
No matter the hurt, or pain, or addiction, whatever has you bound,<\/h6>\n
Jesus wants to redeem you and give you a brand-new life~<\/h6>\n
Why? Because Jesus loves you!<\/h6>\n
He is the blood sacrifice that bought you back from sin and death~<\/h6>\n
And if you will open your heart and say, Yes to Him,<\/h6>\n
I promise everything in your life will change and it will be good!<\/h6>\n
It is your choice\u2026choose faith over fear, trust over guilt, life over death\u2026<\/h6>\n
Just take a breath\u2026<\/h6>\n
Jesus says, I have called you by name, You are Mine!<\/em><\/h6>\n

Isaiah 43:1-4 The Message<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
When You\u2019re Between a Rock and a Hard Place<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
But now, God\u2019s Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob, the One who got you started, Israel: \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid, I\u2019ve redeemed you. I\u2019ve called your name. You\u2019re mine. When you\u2019re in over your head, I\u2019ll be there with you. When you\u2019re in rough waters, you will not go down. When you\u2019re between a rock and a hard place, it won\u2019t be a dead end\u2014 Because I am God, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. I paid a huge price for you: all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in! that\u2019s how much you mean to me! That\u2019s how much I love you! I\u2019d sell off the whole world to get you back, trade the creation just for you.<\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
