Julia & Jesus

 Hello Readers,  I am sorry for not posting the past few months. I have been going through a hard time in my life. I want to talk about anxiety because it is a real thing and what I have been dealing with. People deal with it every day for many reasons, especially today in the world. I want to look at what God says about anxiety. First of all if you are having anxiety God cares and loves you very much. 1 Peter 5:7 says this, Cast all your anxieties on him because he cares for you. Even if it seems silly to you, it isn't to him; he knows and is with you. Anxiety is a very serious topic, so fill yourself with happiness, fun things  and just focusing on the joy in a relationship with Jesus and the hope that he brings. Philippians 4:4-9 says this:   Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!   Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.  Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests

 Hello readers,  I wanted to tell you I am going to be posting once a month until the summer  because of some other projects I am working on. Anyway,  I am going to talk about the gospel and this scene of Jesus dying on the cross. Why did he do that? He was an innocent man! and we are not perfect and we deserve to die because we sinned . The ultimate point is Jesus Christ is the only person who could have died and sacrifice his life because in  2 Corinthians 5:21 says God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.  John 3:16 says For God so loved the world he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. This is the core verse of the gospel and it brings so much hope and power. I love this verse!  If  we believe Jesus died on the cross,  then we can live life serving Him and knowing one day that we will live in eternal life with Him. 

 Hello readers, Happy New Year! I can't wait to see what 2021 brings us! I am sorry for not posting in a while -  December is a crazy month. I also hope that your Christmas was good! So, we don't know what 2021 will bring us, but we don't have to worry because Jesus holds the future. One of my favorite verse's is Jeremiah 29:11 and it reads: "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to proper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." I love this verse because I can trust the Lord with the future because he loves us so much and given us so much already. I may not know what I want to be or what will happen this very day or week but God knows the future, but I can look up to him and have peace. This is such an encouragement to us as we head into the next day or week or month - let’s remember the hope Jesus brings.
