"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."
Hebrews 13:8
I love this verse, and I love this song. Lately, though, it's taking on a new meaning...and even creating a struggle. In my journey of seeking God's truth and His healing, I've come to the realization that this Jesus-who is the same yesterday, today, and forever-cannot be, for me, the same. Now before you think I've lost my mind, please let me explain. The Jesus that I serve, my Savior from when I was a child...is NOT the real Jesus. Just in the past week I have numerous ideas about Him that have been overturned and pulled out from under me; and it's a GOOD thing...it's a GOD thing. The image of Jesus that I have 'created' from years of mis-truths, mis-undertandings, mis-interpretations, and blatant lies is inherently wrong; therefore, He can't be the same because He never really was who He is. I can't go into much more detail than that right now; it's a process I'm working through, and there are people I need to talk to and lean on right now... But I would covet your prayers. I'm done trying, and I am doing. And I'm doing it afraid...

Wendy - you ALWAYS have my prayers! I don't know what God is trying to teach you right now, but I DO know this - keep learning, keep leaning, and remember that He won't let you fall! Love you Sister!
