Proud to be a child of the King!

I am proud to be an American but most importantly today I’m proud to be a CHILD of the KING!

^{Ephesians 3:12}In Christ we can come before God with freedom and without fear. We can do this through faith in Christ.¹³So I ask you not to become discouraged because of the sufferings I am having for you. My sufferings are for your glory.

Are you PROUD to be a CHILD of the KING! After just celebrating INDEPENDENCE Day I want to talk about our FREEDOM to come to CHRIST and what that FREEDOM can be like.  

I struggled as a child wanting to know where I belonged,  I knew there had to be something I was missing in this thing called life.  I didn’t fit in!  My last name was STOVER, so my nickname became ROVER, the dog!  I could have very easily turned to drugs and alcohol to cover up my  hurts because I was hurting!  However, God kept me from all that!  I have no clue as to why he kept me from that because believe me I was tempted.  I  am so thankful that when I was 20 years old I was given the opportunity to accept Christ through faith as my personal savior!  Romans 10:9 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”

Do I still struggle?  Yes at times, but not everyday like I did before I had this FREEDOM!  Am I still tempted?  Yes, but so thankful I can turn to my DADDY and ask him to help me, and he hears me!  I’m so thankful to be a Child of the KING!  

Do you have FREEDOM today?  If not, take this time to Confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead and you will be saved!  Then your everyday sufferings will be for HIS GLORY!  

If you need to talk, I’m here for you…..just email me! You can have FREEDOM even in the midst of suffering!
