I Want to Give a Shout Out to Jesus

I want to give a shout out to Jesus for dying for me and giving me the chance to spend eternity with God. I want to also give Jesus a shout out for being my best friend. I also want to give Jesus a thank you for direct access to the Father, Father God that is. I claim the blood of Jesus on my life, my family, my writing and my success. I couldn't begin this blog without my best friend, Jesus. I realize that I am not His only best friend. I hope that before this whole thing called life is over that everyone will realize that He is the "true" best friend.

Jesus has listened to my prayers and heard me cry out. He has come through for me so many times in my life that it is crazy. Trust me; He is a true, blue friend. I guess I started to know about Jesus early on as a teen. No, I wasn't perfect, holy or sanctified.

As a matter of fact, I was angry and bitter. I mean at the tender age of 13 my mother left me with a hateful alcoholic, also known as my father. I was the victim of verbal abuse. I hated me, I hated her and I really hated my father who made me feel inadequate as a hobby. My father went out of his way to let me know that I was ugly, my hair was nappy, my skin was too dark, and I was a bitter disappointment to him. When my mother left, he told me that I was the reason. He also told me that I couldn't go with her because I couldn't pass. In another post, I will tell that ugly story. The story is an ugly one and not the focus of today's post. I digress.

The post today is about giving props to Jesus. I am telling you that I was 13 and He came into my life. I started to read my Bible and He started to talk to me. He has always been by my side as I've gone through life's trials and tribulations. With my feelings of self loathing I really could have turned to drugs but I didn't. I can only give God credit for this blessing. He even touched the heart of my Aunt and Uncle to adopt me and take me away from my biological. Me and bio Dad are cool now, but it is only through the grace of God.

I know that Jesus is my advocate with the Father. I thank Jesus so much for being on my side. It is so wonderful to know that I can even communicate with God because Jesus gave me a way to the Father, a Father that doesn't tear me down. Father God builds me up and nurtures me.

Today, I am going through a phase in my walk where I have to patient. I don't mean wait a few days patient either. Over the years, I have seen so many miracles in my life. After my victory, I throw my hands up in the air and shout praises and I feel like the queen of faith. The miracles come fast and furious. But what happens when the miracles happen in God's time, not ours? What happens is; I wait... But, I still say thank you and I want to give a shout out to Jesus who is standing with me and sending messengers in human form to cheer my on as I wait for the manifestation of my prayers to be visible to me. Jesus tells me that it is already done and encourages me as doubt knocks on my door. I won't answer because I know who it is.

I want to give a shout out to Jesus for advising me to start this blog. He always knows what I need. I needed to communicate and share wisdom about God for myself and for you, His child and loved one.
