I can now say that I’ve read the whole bible!
I have not found joy, excitement or life in anything else!! It is the most terrifying and uplifting book. All of life’s answers are in there. What a gift! Thank you Jesus for the words that create, the words that condemn, the words that convict, the words that restore, the words of life and the words that save to the uttermost! Thank you Jesus! :)
Rejoicing with you. Live it out for others to see!!

Hi Matthew,
I hope you’re doing well. I love this statement of joy and faith and say thank you Jesus and “Amen” with you in this prayer. I would love to post this prayer on my blog and facebook with your permission, as I feel it is directly speaking to me also. It has been a hard day and hard time lately and I must continue to come to Christ and learn to rest entirely on Him.
Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV)
28″Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Blessings, your sister,

Hi Gina,
I am doing well thanks. I was just baptised this weekend! Praise God! :) I wish I had done it sooner but I am grateful that I was finally able to be obedient in this command. :) I would be more than happy for you to copy this post to your blog and facebook. It’s encouraging to think that others can be blessed through the little that I have to share! :D
Jeremiah 29:13
“And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”
I hope you really sense His presence and working at this time. May He reveal His glory to you afresh.
Bless you sister, love in Jesus precious name,
Matthew

Hi Matthew,
Congratulations on the baptism. What a gracious gift of God, isn’t it! Sadly, I have not been baptised into Christ as yet. I have been so preoccupied with the “cares of this world” that I must be corrected and find a church that to be baptised in as an adult. I was baptised when a baby, however I agree with the baptism AFTER repentance and being born anew in Christ. You’re baptism is an encouragement to me to have mine.
Thank you for your wishes Matthew. I feel Jesus has been sitting with me through some really hard times in the last week/s and now, the last two days of me leaning on Him, surrendering control to Him, has seen the days more fruitful and blessed. He really IS SO FAITHFUL to us WHEN we obey Him and call on His help to rely on.
“Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” (Matthew 11:28)
Here is the link for my posting of your prayer. Thank you for the permission.
