: It is a privilege to have JESUS rule my life.
I love you my LORD.What a beautiful comment, Enrique! It is truly a privilege to have Jesus as Lord of our lives. As Charles Spurgeon mentions in his devotional, obedience and the love of Jesus go hand in hand. In John 15:10, Jesus tells us, “If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love.” Staying in obedience is a demonstration of love toward Him. May we follow this example and enjoy that sweet promise of abiding in His love. Blessings on your walk with Christ!

: Knowing Christ saved me. I heard his voice and I knew him, then I lived, because I was dying in silence, tormented by PAIN IN MY SOUL, BUT WHEN I WANTED TO GET OFF THE WORLD, BECAUSE I COULD NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE, I SAW HIM, THERE WAS SO MUCH LOVE IN HIS LOOK AND HIS VOICE THAT I WAS BROKEN, AND I UNDERSTOOD THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF HIS LOVE AND I KNEW HIM AS MY LORD AND SAVIOUR,
THEN I LIVED, MY LIFE CHANGED AND NOW I AM FREE
