life after meeting christ

As soon as I started diving into the Word of God, I was amazed at how well I was able to understand the text. I couldn't believe how easy it was to read from page 1 and how excited I was to learn more. I learned first hand that nothing has the power of conviction like the Bible! Within the first week or two, my whole attitude on my roles of a mother and wife changed. He was handing me verses left and right that were clear instruction of how we should be living our lives (which was not how I was living) and I immediately wanted to share all of the wisdom to help my other friends! My husband is happier, my children are happier, and that makes me happier! All of the pain that I felt in the past of not having a strong family foundation turned into a blessing because I saw so many of my other friends who are close with their families rebuke the Word because they had their mother or other close relative to lean on for support instead! But no one is better to lean on than Jesus! I became so much more confident to share my journey and the wisdom of God because I didn't have anyone close enough to hold me back! I learned that the only people that I should care about what they think of me is Jesus and my husband and my husband is in full support so now it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of what's in my heart! It turns into a blessing when you are alone and have no one else to lean on but God! Our human nature is so stubborn that we usually won't turn to Him under any other circumstances and once we finally choose to lean on Him, then we realize we'll never be alone again! Imagine all of the weight of the hurt over the years leaving me because He turned it into good. Talk about freeing! Other women of faith are telling me how they're happy they don't feel alone with their beliefs, how they love seeing the Word being shared, that they're excited to see what will be shared next, and how they can see the Lord working in my heart. It's true that when we leave our past behind, He gives us new friends from the church for love and support! He opens our eyes to so much when we actively seek a relationship with Him and it is so much more rewarding than when we are just looking for some kind of benefit from Him or just looking to profess that we are a Christian to our peers. There really is a difference between professing we're a Christian and actually believing! When we really read the Word and obey His instruction, our lives really do become so much more fruitful! I am so thankful for this quarantine period to really allow me to dive deep into the Word for myself in order to get to know God on a deeper level and improve my relationship with Him. I can see more clearly how simply He created our roles in our families and how the world adds so much more responsibility and confusion that just isn't True! When you obey the Word and feel the Holy Spirit energized within you, you want to tell everyone the Truth because it truly is so amazing and you want to be the help that you needed before your eyes were opened!
