Encounters With Jesus

Moments captured meeting Jesus where He touched even you!

This time together will walk you through the little accounts that occurred in the Gospels where Jesus touched people's lives. It is my goal to have you feel more intimately part of the stories by placing "you" in the story, and the vignettes will touch your life too.

ABOUT THIS BLOG

This platform was built for the purpose of providing a short devotion time either personal or two or more people who desire to set their eyes on Jesus. He not only touched people's lives back then, but He touches our lives today as well. If we desire to have our friends, parents or children grow in their faith, the best method is to point them to Jesus. Each story is planting a seed of faith in their lives which He will cause to grow and bloom. May God bless you around the fire pit, poolside, bedside or car ride for the time you invest in learning from His son and helping others grow in love with Him too.

Invite The Lord Into Your Heart

Heavenly Father in Heaven who knows my name. I desire to know you more fully and to love you more dearly. Please forgive my sins. Thank you for sending your son, Jesus, who taught us so much with all He said and did. He died on the cross for me to pay for my sins, and I am so grateful for His love. Please enter my heart and with the power of the Holy Spirit, lead me. Amen

I will love you, O Lord my strength. The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; My God, my strength in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, So shall I be saved from my enemies.

Psalm 18:1-25
