About two years ago that fear took over my life so strongly. That all I would do was cry, cry, cry and beg God that He would take the fear away. And wonder how He could leave me in it alone...I went for a month without eating or without talking to anyone...All that I knew as a believer seemed to become meaningless when I actually had to fight...The difficult time brought the realization out that I knew Christ, but I didn't KNOW Him.
I could talk to many people about Him. Could give them answers...true, honest answers, but I couldn't let those answers be real to my own life. And I needed those answers to be real to my own life...I needed Him to be real. To know that I know that His a friend that walks in when all others walk out. That He has all the answers even if I can not see them all, that He is in the little things like the rain, that He doesn't just have all this TRUTH about Him and just not make it true in my life...
I can say that in my own life sufferings and hardship is what led me to Christ or should I say that Christ proved himself to be very real during those times. When I first came to experience the Friend Jesus it was while looking at three stained glass windows depicting the Passion and sufferings of Christ. I saw as I gazed in His eyes a reflection of my suffering and I knew He understood the fear, loneliness etc that I was feeling. How could I not help but open my heart to this One who was so compassionate? I was fourteen years old then.
Honestly the true reason I asked you the question was because I wanted to hear you talk about Jesus. Sometimes people throw around terms like "relationship with Jesus" but what does that mean? How do we know Him? What about Christ causes you to want to know Him more? Do you understand what I mean?

Hehe...I know exactly what you mean!!!
And I kind of had you figured out on that one...because that is something that I would do to someone...
In fact, I read your post last night, but I was too tired to reply than...and so I had ample time to rest and then respond...

Oh so you found me out...
here's something that blessed me today...
Dennis Jernigan's version of Zeph 3:17
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The eternal self-existent God, the God who is three in one. He who dwells in
the center of your being is a powerful and valiant warrior. He has come to
set you free, to keep you safe and bring you to victory, He is cheered, and
He beams with exceeding joy and takes pleasure in your presence. He has
engraved a place for Himself in you, and there He quietly rests in His love
and affection for you. He cannot contain Himself at the thought of you and
with the greatest joy spins around wildly in anticipation over you and has
placed you above all other creations and in the highest place in his
priorities. In fact, He shouts and sings in triumph joyfully proclaiming the
gladness of His heart in a song at rejoicing! All because of you<---!!!

I'm cool...I was wondering where the host of this thread is.
Here's a prayer to Jesus someone wrote on another forum...
O Sweet Beloved Lord, deign to let every soul anoint You with overflowing cups of Love, as You blessed us with Your ever-flowing rivers of most lovable Blood from Your own dear Heart. Amen forever and forever, till all hearts live with You.

Here's something to think about. I was reading the gospel of Mark. In the story of the rich young man Mark comments that when Jesus looked at the young man he loved him. (Mark 10:21) What impressed mark so much that he would say "looking at him Jesus loved him"? What did mark see that would cause him years later to record that phrase in his gospel?

That's a great question, Kiss. And who noticed Jesus' love in his eyes and facial expression? What were those expressions? Hey, can you clean out your mail box so I can send you that stuff I wanted to send to you? I can't get through to your box. It's jammed packed. Thanks, dear!!!! :)

Tonight Lord Jesus I thank for the gift of faith. It doesn't matter what we need to overcome. YOU are the One who is able to help us in any situation. Thank You Jesus for directing my eyes, heart and mind towards You and encouraging me. With God nothing is impossible. You stirred my faith tonight and lite a fire of trust in me...trust in You, my Jesus.
"'embrace the God-life. Really embrace it, and nothing will be too much for you. This mountain, for instance: Just say, "Go jump in the lake-no shuttling, or silly shallying-and it is good as done. That's why I urge you to pray wholeheartedly for absolutely everything, ranging from small or large. Include everything as you believe this God-life, and you'll get God's everything."
Mark 11:22-24 (The Message Bible)

Hello, my dear Amy,
It was so good to see this thread still up and running. Thank you, so much for keeping it alive!
Regarding your comment above: I believe Mark got his information from the Apostle Peter rather than being a direct witness, although I stand corrected on that. If I am correct, it would have been Peter who remembered the love in those eyes... Mark was the son of one of the Marys of the Gospels, apparently.
But, so as not to quench the thought but to blow a little fire on it, I will add this....
Mark was the nephew of Barnabas of Acts. Remember, Barnabas was the encourager.
Also, remember, the Apostle Paul did not want to have Mark come along on the missionary trip but Barnabas did. For some reason, the Apostle Paul did not think Mark was adequate enough or could handle the trip.
Imagine how Mark must have felt! Probably inadequate according to Paul's standards!
But, who was the one who the Lord chose to write one of the gospels? It was Mark, not Paul!
So, the Lord, in His precious grace and mercy, gave the privledge of writing one of the gospels to the very one Paul had rejected.
Oh, the goodness, mercy, tenderness and kindness of our God! Glory be to His precious name........!

Peter would have known quite a bit about the look in Jesus' eyes. After he denied Christ three times the gospel says that Jesus "turned and looked at him." Afterwards peter wept bitterly. what did peter see in those yes personally and to have also recalled the look Jesus gave to the rich young ruler? What made peter weep bitterly? What does it mean when mark says, "jesus looked at him and loved him?"
Can anyone decribe "That look...?"

WHO JESUS IS TO ME
When I fall, He lifts me up!
When I fail, He forgives!
When I am weak, He is strong!
When I am lost, He is the way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me!
When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!
When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face problems, He comforts me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!
When I face death, He carries me Home!
He is everything for everybody everywhere, every time, and every way.
He is God, He is faithful, I am His, and He is mine!
My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.
So, if you’re wondering why I feel so secure, understand this…..
He said it and that settles it.
God is in control, I am on His side
And that means all is well with my soul.
Everyday is a blessing because GOD IS!

My favorite subject - Getting To Know Jesus.
I am simply seeking to build my relationship with Jesus like the Apostles. I look at Him as a role model as well as a Savior. I want to have a more passionate, personal and powerful relationship with Him so I will live my life more like His example.
May God bless you as you are getting to know Jesus.

Thank you, so much.
You have said more than a heartful in the part of your post I emboldened.
For, to have that type of relationship, don't you think that we need to believe that He is passionate in His love to us?
We don't talk about that very much in American Christianity. But, I was reading someone's reply to me elsewhere and they posted something to the effect "Do you realize how crazy He is about you?" And how He cannot keep His eyes off of me and that He not only loves me but He is in love with me (us).
Maybe, if more of us really grasped the above, we would become more on fire for Him?
