Fit Bit (Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!)
St Patrick’s Day, what a very special holiday!!
Many people
associate St Patty’s with green beer and Lepricons. That is not why I celebrate St. Patrick’s
Day. This day I remember a Saint who
explained our holy trinity by using the shamrock. Brilliant!!
I think it is difficult to explain this concept and one of the most
important explanations as Christians we should know how to give.
This day 9 years ago
was a day of enlightenment for me. I was
going through alcohol rehab and had finished my sixth step, (which is
confessing my character defects to another person) I was strongly convicted
that I needed Jesus. I remembered Him
from my youth, but my sin had made me feel so unlovable I felt unworthy of His
love. I broke down and asked Him for help.
That very evening;
1.
I felt His Holy Spirit convict me that through
the blood of Christ I was washed clean of all the horrible things I had
done. It was His Holy Spirit that
allowed me to believe.
2.
I knew that Through the Sacrifice of Jesus, I
was mad beautiful again. I felt right as
rain and clean as snow. I felt I was
fresh, like a virgin again. I was made
right with God.
3.
I knew that God, Our Heavenly Father and creator
loved me and wanted to give me hope and a future. I knew He had plans for me. I felt the scales being removed from my
eyes. I could see clearly for the first
time in a long time and I knew the direction He wanted me to go. To Him, in all that I think, say and do.
This day nine years ago altered my life. It was altered because God is infinitely
intimate with me because He is a triune God.
I have fallen short since this day; I have not done all the
things that were put on my heart that day.
I have been discouraged and lazy.
Yet by reading His word, The Bible and fellowshipping with other
Christians I am still trying to walk in the direction He has called me.
Today let each and everyone of us realize He is with us
helping us as only as HE can. Spread the
news of Our Heavenly Father, the salvation made possible because He is a triune
God!!!
Romans 7;4-6
“So my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ,
that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order
that we might bear fruit to God. 5 For
when we were controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful passions aroused by
the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death. 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we
have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit,
and not in the old way of the written code. “
Romans 7:15 “I
do not understand what I do. For what I
want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.”
We have not been made perfect, we have been forgiven! Celebrate Our Triune God today!! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!!!
Be fit and be blessed,
Kimberly
