And when the men had come to him (Jesus), they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to you , saying, 'Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?" In that hour he healed many people of diseases and plagues and evil spirits and on many who were blind he bestowed sight. And he answered them, "Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me." Luke 7:20-23
The depth of Christ is magnificent! I stand in awe as I am reminded that our God came to be with us, performed miraculous signs, and saved those whom he has chosen. On days when it is difficult for me to feel nearness with the Father, I am blessed to remember that He did draw near and is still near, by way of the Holy Spirit. I hope and pray that I am daily pressing into Him so that He may grow me for His glory and purposes. I seek to know that I am living in the middle of His will and that even the "normal" daily activities serve a great purpose for the Kingdom. I do dream of Africa and future hopes in ministry, but right now I am more than blessed to be the wife of Michael Presley, the Mommy of Adyson and Ainsly, a daughter, sister, friend, and hopefully more to others. I pray that my light is shining forth to bring the gospel to those who are far from the Lord. Life with Christ is the only true life....He is the sole purpose for our existence and without Him there is no purpose in life. Thank you Jesus for saving me and making me yours!! Thank you for the ultimate purpose of our existence and I hope we are living it out well for your name sake.
In Christ Alone!
