Walking along with Jesus
Hello my name is Jasper,
All praises to the Lord. Sometimes in life we are put in the position that may seem overwhelming. We may not know how to handle it or which way to turn. It seems as though we can't get any help that we need, but something in our spirit causes us to press on and persevere. We seem to be driven towards this goal no matter how much opposition we may encounter. I'd like to speak about one such young lady, Malala, she is from Pakistan and is only seventeen years old. In Pakistan, the woman have very few rights if any. She was not allowed to attend school, although it was in her heart to do so anyway. They went to great lengths to stop her, they even shot her in the head. After she recovered, she went right back to her goal of going to school. So a lot of things transpired for her, and she ended up winning the Nobel Piece Prize for her efforts. She is the youngest to ever win the coveted prize. I just know that the Lord was with her, and God's spirit she has inside of her pushed her towards her goal. I'd like to speak about another incident, or should I say another miracle that the Lord has shown us. I believe that the Lord sends us messages through miracles, if we have eyes to see. There was a young man who was a racecar driver. Needless to say, this is a dangerous sport, and on a certain day, it seemed the worst happened to him. He lost control of his car and had a terrible crash. It seemed that looking at the car and crash, no one could possibly survive the outcome. They pulled this young man from the wreckage, he did his time in the hospital, he was broken up from head to toe (his collarbone, legs, neck). He was a broken mess. His parents prayed for him day and night, of course, that was their son. Sometimes God puts you a position where no one can seem to help you, and all you can think of to do, is to pray to the creator. The one who started it all, the creator of heaven and earth, and all that dwells within. Well, I'm not sure how long it took, but the Lord must have heard their cries, because I was watching a TV show where I got this story, and that man walked on this show and he looked like he had never been in a car crash in his whole life. In my opinion, that can only be the grace of God. I've been a quadriplegic for a little over five years, physically I can do nothing for myself, I'm not rich by any means, I don't have any degrees, I don't come from a wealthy family, I'm just an average man. But, I believe in the Lord and what he says. I believe in his word, his word is true. He is taking care of me, better than I could take care of myself. Whatever I have asked for, I've gotten it. I have a nice apartment to live in, when transportation was not available to me anymore, someone I've never met stepped up and donated their van so I could make my appointments. I did not ask for any of that. That is called God's grace! He gave me things that he knows I need without even asking. Because he is a God that can not lie, and he said "If you obey me, if you worship me, I will supply all of your needs. Look first, to the kingdom of Christ, and be steadfast, and all these things should be added to you." Don't worry about anything, just serve the Lord, and he will provide and take care of you. My name is Jasper, and I am a believer! Be blessed and be a blessing to someone.
