It’s not what you deserve
“It’s not what you deserve, it’s what you believe in and I believe in love.”
While watching the new Wonder Woman movie last weekend
Something stirred deep inside of me
Firstly,
I realised I wanted to be an Amazon Warrior
The kick boxing
Scissor kicking
Battle worn
Badass
Group of women
Who fight wars with shields and swords
Swinging their braided hair from side to side
While on horseback
We’re my kinda gals
And secondly,
I pondered over what Wonder Woman said to the baddie, Ares, the god of war
“It’s not what you deserve, it’s what you believe in and I believe in love.”
Jesus came down from Heaven to rescue me
It’s not what I deserve
But He rescued me anyway
All it took was for me to believe in His love
IT’S NOT WHAT YOU DESERVE
Jesus came to earth
Because He believed you were worth saving
It’s not what you deserve
But He did it anyway
God doesn’t just believe in love, like Wonder Woman
He IS love
John 3:16-17 says,
“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn’t go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.”
Jesus sacrificed Himself
Taking all our faults, failures and mistakes
And nailed them to that cross
Along with Himself
Long before we knew we needed a Saviour
It’s not what you or I deserve
But it’s what He believes in
And He believes that His love is stronger than anything else
Because the broken, barren places of your heart
Are worth fighting for
Wonder Woman is a superhero
And we all need one of those
But God knows we need more than a hero
We need a Saviour
A Saviour who doesn’t wait until you’ve got it altogether before He comes to rescue you
He loves you
He believes in you
He’s got you
It’s not what you deserve
But Jesus did it anyway

June 7, 2017Wendy a Quick Question for you, Jesus, and indeed, God know what, Struggles and battles, you and I go through, on a regular basis, but how does he know we’re struggling, before we tell him in Prayer? and how does our Lord God, and his Son Jesus know we’re in need of help, before we ask? These are things I often wonder about? Joshua Moore.

Revelation 1:8. Also, I believe God uses our struggles and challenges to help us grow into a deeper relationship with Him. It’s easy to praise God when everything is going well, but when your in the fight and the fire and you still raise your hands in worship to Him, that’s true worship. =)

June 14, 2017Thank you Wendy, Life for me is changing rapidly, I am very uncomfortable with Change, but there is a God that never changes, and knowing what I believe about him just puts me back in balance, he is a God of love, and my Jesus my best friend always remains that
He has saved me. Thank God has put you (Wendy) in my life, you also never change, you have remained my consistent friend, and I know that is a gift from God to make my life Balanced.
