GOD is bigger! Bigger than your fear, bigger than your anxiety and doubts, bigger than your pain, bigger than your past, bigger than any of your hurts, bitterness or resentments.


The LORD says, “I will rescue those who love ME. I will protect those who trust in MY NAME! When they call on ME, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them MY salvation.” (Psalm 19:14-16)


I often find myself drowning in life’s hurts because Rather than calling upon the LORD, I try to heal myself.


All I need to do is trust in the LORD, with all my heart and soul… and HE rescues me because HE is bigger! Amen 🙏


#ThankYOUJESUS ❤️

I Am Found

 I can be an emotional hoarder! Past hurts piling up to overflowing like an over-stuffed closet!

You know what happens when you keep filling a closet up beyond its capacity? It busts open, may even break.
What do you think happens when we do the same with our hurts? Or our sins? Yep! They break us!

Growing up where there was much importance placed on presenting a front to the neighbors; I learned quickly how to put on a mask. Even if I was hurting or being hurt, I just held on and it in.

This carried on through my later years. Eventually, I lost me in the shuffle. That is what happens when you pretend. It gets buried and stuffed in that emotional closet.

Something bad happened; put it in that closet- I hurt someone - yep, in the closet; someone hurt me; in the closet it went.... you get it..I heard recently how there are layers on an onion. And working through your past hurts, hang-ups and habits is like peeling the onion.

I realize that I have one big onion and a closet stuffed to the brim!

So that is where confession is needed. When I heard that word at first, I thought it meant sitting in a little box with a secret man sitting on the other side and you said those words "Father, forgive me for I have sinned"...

And it is true I do confess to my FATHER GOD, and we need to do that - it is also good to share it with a trusted friend of GOD! "Trust" is the key word! Don't just go around speaking it all over! That does nothing but provide juicy gossip and complaining.
Little by little I am seeing the real me emerge. It is like me saying "Deni, meet Deni". It is scary. It is even awkward at my age not really knowing the real me.
​
However, I have a strong and loving FATHER, who lets me know "Come on out child, you are safe now"!
Thank YOU JESUS ❤

    I am Deni, short for Denise. I grew up in a Jewish home, in a Jewish neighborhood and a Jewish family. In 3rd grade we moved. We moved to a mostly non-Jewish area.... that is where JESUS found me. I say found me because I yet had not acknowledged it, but would find out later.......by grace, HE HELD ME ALL ALONG, just a lil Jewish girl from Philly.
