It was not a stroke at all but MS.

Well after many tests they have diagnosed me with MS.

So here I am slowly falling apart but nothing has changed. Jesus is still loves me in fact when I was diagnosed I had a huge sense of peace for I knew that I would not have to face the consequences of this illness alone.

In fact it reinforced my commitment to Christ: Why? Well you see its simple: I know that if every stopped working within my body tomorrow, within mind and soul I would still know and feel the certain presence of Jesus Christ who lives with me. Why? Well that is simple, I invited him to come into my life to be my God and he accepted.

I do not ask you to believe me by my own words. I ask you to believe that if you were to take the chance and do the same, even if you do not believe in him. He will come.

How do I know that? Well you see when I first decided to consider is there a God, I decided to take up the offer that was stated in a book I was given called "Why Jesus". In this book it said if you ask Jesus into your life, he will come for he never refuses anyone.

So I did and Jesus came.

At first I didn't notice much but then one day I was walking our dog around the field near to where I lived and within the field was a large group of teenagers. In the past I avoided them for I felt intimated by them. Yet this day I actually did something completely out of my then shy character and I spoke with them, just saying hello. Nothing more.

I felt so comfortable and so protected that I realised that I was no longer living my life alone but Jesus, God, was with me.

Now people that know me, 12 years on, can not believe that I used to be quiet and shy for I am out going and confident, and definately not quiet. I changed inside for you see I realised one thing that I did not know about myself before. That I am loved.

God has a brillant "A" plan for your life but most of us accept the alternative "B" plan that we control.

Are you not worth enough to yourself to decide to find out if this Jesus is real or not?

Research him and his disciples, or ask him into your life as I did, the lazy way without doing any research; and see what happens.

I was not disappointed with God for he came and gave me such comfort and peace and love and inner security despite my diagnosis.

God bless, Eve x

This body is not true life

I can say with experience that this body is not just our life. Why? Well I have had a stroke.

So that means for a time parts of my body did not work. It means my brain worked but the flesh body around me felt like it was just a machine, a covering. Why? Simple it would not do what it should do but my brain, the real part of me, those thoughts and connections in my head; or to put it another way my soul was truly alive but it worked independently to my body.

Jesus said I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life and no one can get to the Father God without me. So then does that not point out the fact that there is more than we can possible be aware of now? Yes.

I have faith regardless of whether my body is in working order or not because I have learnt through prayer and through reading the bible that there is more than the life that I can see on earth.

I did not ask for proof, for I have faith. But after suffering this stroke now I have proof!

When you are tired and exhausted with trying to find happiness in this world but find nothing fills the hole, the need for connection, to be known inside; try Jesus. Pray and ask him to show you that he is real. That he wants to connect with you. To know you.

Jesus died a painful death to pay for all your wrong doings, your mistakes, on earth. That means you don't have to try to get right with God. Jesus, he is God by the way, already knows and accepts all that you have done.

Religion teaches you to be pure and holy before God. Jesus teaches you that he has forgiveness, grace, love and mercy all waiting for you to know. All you need to do is ask him to come into your life. At some point after you have known Jesus for some time you will find that you have a sense of peace and worth that you have not been able to receive from others.

Repentance means you turn around from your own way of living to ask Jesus to come and share the rest of your life with you.

It's that simple.

You get a promise that Jesus will never leave you. And Jesus promises to guide you home to heaven at your earth death. In heaven you are eternally happy with Him but also with those who helped you in your Christian walk. You see Jesus provides himself but also a ready made family for you to know.

Jesus is waiting for your invitation to come into your life today.
