Satisfaction

I was thinking tonight, why are we so desperate for anything. Tonight I was Christmas shopping. I saw a man standing outside asking for money for a mission. He smiled and said "Merry Christmas" as I gave him money with some sort of almost sad and thankful look, like I was the only person who gave anything that night. I saw a man in a much more hidden outside face walking around back and forth to his friends. His pants looked like pajamas, his hair looked bushy but his face seemed covered with his own expressions. Then there's me, I know I fail so much. I wonder how God loves wretches like us, wretches like me. My lips are dry tonight, my throat is a mirror of the same. My heart is needy. I feel like I fall so much, I'm so desperate for touch, for anyone to say, you're doing good, you're heart is in the right place, but even if I get that, I feel like I know the truth about me. It's just me who thinks this? We are so needy, so wanting, so desperate like children. God knows we need him, he knows were children, or even sheep. We fall in a pit with our legs broken but he comes down to help us out. I know he does because the only time I've ever felt a hint of satisfaction in anything I do is when I'm so hurt and tired and down and gave him my pain. I love the verse, "cast your cares on him because he loves you." I've never known that verse to be more true in my life then these times. He loves us. Give him your cares, any little pain and in that place there's that joy that David talked about. I don't know if you remember the story. It's right after he seduced Bathsheba. David called out to God with all the passion left in him, "restore in me the joy of my salvation." There's a joy. If there isn't a joy, you're not accepting the whole gift he gave for you. Lord, I love you, restore in me the joy of my salvation. I need you, desperately, I love you. Without you I'm lost, I'm just living in the pit. You're my real love, my real joy, my real satisfaction. The manna in the desert, by your word is my life, help me Jesus, I love you.

Dedication

This is all for you my Lord. My thoughts are so small but in them, let them glorify you. I dedicate this blog to you. Let your will on earth be done as it's done so perfectly in heaven. If we could have it the way you want it, everything would be better. You want for me, what I would want if I knew what you knew. I love you.

Welcome

Intro:
I've spent time talking to many atheists in my time. They deny that Jesus is who he is. I constantly have to go back to my sources and cite everything to them over and over again. So I dedicate this blog to God, the true Father. I'll most likely post my own thoughts, but first and foremost, I'm going to lay down some very basic evidence for Jesus Christ,fully cited. If there is any question or controversy over it, let me know and I'll add to it or refine the blog to make it more understandable. Nothing is worth anything without love. I do this with love.

The Promised Christ?
The Jewish people for many years knew and expected a coming savior. There are over 300 identified prophesies describing the Messiah in the Old Testament that the Jewish people relied on. Just like the Jewish people expected a savior to rise up to save them from Egypt rule and release them from the strong fist of slavery, the Jewish people began to believe that God would again politically deliver them from the Roman empire. 1 First the term Messiah appears 39 times in the O.T (Old Testament).Lets examine some of the most blunt prophesies about the Messiah.
