My Soul Say Yes
 
Galatians 2:20 (NIV)
 
"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." "The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
 
Galatians 2:20 speaks to the fundamental change that occurs in the life of a believer. It's a recognition that our old self, characterized by sin and selfishness, was crucified with Christ on the cross. The verse speaks Through the act of dying to our old way of life, and a new life begins, a life where Christ dwells within us through the Holy Spirit.
 
The day my soul said yes to Christ signify a deep affirmation of a life lived in faith and dependence on Christ. It was an acknowledgment that my existence, and purpose, and my identity was now rooted in my relationship with Jesus Christ. I live not by my own strength or desires, but by faith in the Son of God, who loved me sacrificially.
 
I wrote this poem expressing my commitment to live out my faith, allowing Christ to lead and guide every aspect of my life.
 
My Soul Said Yes
t was a hot and sunny summer day; I locked myself away no work for me today
One hour, two hours has past I wondered how long this would last
 
I sat on the floor picked up a leaf and began to read it very fast.
It was a psalm of David which speaks of his horrible sin, deep distress and agony.
Suddenly I realized it was my own sin, deep distress and agony that had me locked away.
 
I then began to understand that on the cross Jesus was made the target of that same agony for my sins not his own. Understanding the agony helps me to understand something of the greatness of His love that sends Him to the cross – for me.
 
That day in the stillness of the room I heard a call; It was a mighty powerful voice that called me by my name; but then I thought could this be my brother’s game.
I ran to the window, but no one was there, I looked up above the sky was as clear as the ocean. Then I heard that call again, with tones so still and so clear. It draws with power yet sweet and unknown.
 
My heart began to pound and my tears were falling fast; how long, how long will this last; yes, yes it is His voice; no other sound could move my heart like this
Then with a stern yet sweetly sound He whispered in my ear, my child, serve me or you will die.
 
O yes tis true, my spirit did awake to life and peace through which it grew under his loving care. Dear Lord thou did speak, it was your call that led my heart to Thee, it drew me to make a better choice and grace has set me free
 
In your devotional time, you might pray, meditate, or journal about what it means for your soul to say "yes" to God considering Galatians 2:20. You could reflect on how this Verse influences your thoughts, decisions, and interactions with others, and ask God to deepen your faith and reliance on Him.

  Endurance in Suffering: Finding God in Pain" Romans 5:3-4 (NIV) Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; and perseverance, character; and character, hope."   Romans 5:3-4 is a powerful passage that speaks to finding strength and growth through adversity. Paul encourages believers to find purpose in their suffering. Instead of being defeated by trials, we are called to persevere, knowing that endurance develops character and leads to hope. Reflecting on this passage, finding God in pain can mean recognizing His presence during our trials. Pain is a worldwide experience, something we all face at different points in our lives. In my personal journey as a Christian pain served as a facilitator for growth beyond mere affliction. The loss of a child stands as one of life's most poignant trials for a woman. Enduring several miscarriages, I clung to hope and prayer for a successful pregnancy. Yet, after week...

" God’s Timing:” The Divine Mercy in Loss

  " God’s Timing:” The Divine Mercy in Loss Isaiah 57:1 (NIV) "The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; the devout are taken away, and no one understands that the righteous are taken away to be spared from evil." In Isaiah 51:1 Isaiah declares the fate of the righteous, they perish, and it goes unnoticed or misunderstood by people. We often mourn the loss of the righteous without realizing that their departure might be a merciful act from God. He spares them from future evils and suffering that they might otherwise endure. In life’s journey there are times when the events around us seem to challenge our understanding. One such perplexing event is the untimely passing of those who live righteously. Isaiah 57:1 provides a profound insight into God’s wisdom and timing, reminding us that there is a greater purpose behind what we perceive as loss. My own experience is the untimely passing of one of my most precious gift from God, my eighteen-year-old so...

Prayer In Times Of Deep Distress

  Prayer In Times Of Deep Distress 1 Samuel 1:10 (NLT) “Hannah was in deep anguish, crying bitterly as she prayed to the Lord.” 1 Samuel 1:10 shows us the deep emotional pain that Hannah was experiencing. She was deeply distressed because she longed for a child and felt the pain of barrenness. Her pain was not just a passing moment but a persistent anguish that weighed on her heart. In her desperation, she turned to God in prayer, pouring out her grief and sorrow. The Lord heard and gave her the desire of her heart. Hannah is an example of someone who is unashamed to pour out their soul to the Lord, because they know that he listens, hears, cares, and relieves even the deepest of pains. When we face moments of deep distress, like Hannah, we are invited to come before God with our hearts wide open, knowing that He sees, hears, and cares. Jesus in Matthew 11:28 tell us to   “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”  This t...
