It Was Jesus All Along

It Was Jesus All Along
Even when I didn’t know God personally, He knew me.
When I didn’t have Him in my heart, He had me in His heart.
When I didn’t feel His love through Christ,
He gave me His love through the taste of my favorite food,
my favorite toy, and my favorite place.
When I didn’t know His beautiful voice, He sang to me through
my favorite song.
When I had no picture of Him in my heart through Christ,
He painted my heart with my favorite things.
When I didn’t have Him in Spirit, He came to me in flesh.
He came to me through my family, through movies, clothes, etc.
He was always there.
He uses the people and things around us.
In Africa many are dying,
and the Lord doesn’t have as many provisions to work with in the natural.
He doesn’t have many people who are willing to help the
needy and dying.
But the Lord can use anything around those people to show His love to them.
The Lord is always ready to show Himself to people,
but He uses us to minister to each other.
If He didn’t, hungry people in Africa would be showered
by food from the sky.
Before I had the Holy Spirit in my heart,
the Lord came to me through the natural things of this world,
such as food or the hugs and love of another human being.
Since I gave my heart to the Lord,
He comes to me through those things and
also through His Holy Spirit in my heart.
Even if I don’t eat good food, or if no one loves me,
I have His direct love in my heart.
But for those who don’t know Him in the Spirit,
He will usually love them through what is around them physically.
That is why it is very important to allow God to pour His love through us
to those who have never been introduced to Him and His Spirit.
Even if we don’t tell those people about God,
He wants to love them through our acts of giving.
One day those people will see who is behind our giving and love.
It took the Lord thirty-three years to show me that He was behind
my favorite things.
He was behind the dark chocolate that I always loved.
He was behind my grandmother’s love.
He was behind my mother, my brother and sisters, my father.
It was Jesus all along, but He was not hasty to show that it was Him.
He simply allowed me to taste some of Himself
and He came to me on January 21, 2000.
He is still revealing His love to me more and more.
Now He is not just Spirit, He is everywhere and in everything I love.
He is even in my fireplace and behind my favorite movie.
I love You, God.
I am in love with You.
“I am so in love with you too,” He says to all of us.

From Getting to Giving

From Getting to Giving I had a meeting with a minister today and it was very hard for me. When I got back home, I asked the Lord to tell me the reason. I felt He said that I went to the meeting to receive, not to give. I went to the meeting to get some possible connection for future ministry. May the Lord change our attitude from getting to giving . Selfishness will creep in on us and jump on our shoulders. No matter what we do, if we do it to gain something, we will never be satisfied. Most of our giving is conditional, and conditional acts open the door for our old nature to kick in. Unconditional acts open the door for our new nature to come in. When our new nature rules, there is peace and comfort in the Spirit. But when our old nature rules, there is agony and discomfort. May we allow the Spirit of God to come out of us through our unconditional acts and thoughts. From Kamran Yaraei’s Book “Food For The Heart”.

He Comes to Kill

He Comes to Kill When facing a thief with a gun in our houses or workplaces, we think that if we give him all of our money, then he will leave us alone and let us live. Sometimes we have the same mindset when we meet Jesus. We believe that if we give everything we have to the Lord, and serve Him well, then He might just let us live. But the point is this: The Lord doesn’t come to steal, but to kill. He is not after our possessions, He is after our flesh—our old, sinful nature. The Lord will use all of our daily struggles to kill our flesh. Our good works and giving will not stop Him from doing this. “Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it” (Luke 17:33). It is very important to know that as we get closer to the Lord, we get closer to the death of our flesh. This should be great news to us. He wants us to get close enough that He can kill our old nature, which is thoroughly described in Galatians 5:19-20: Now the works of the flesh are ev...
