I have always taken that passage literally and visualise a scene of Jesus on the cross, who made the ultimate sacrifice so we could all have eternal life.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your views, it makes me evaluate my own opinions and beliefs. <BR/><BR/>In the past, I have been guilty of turning to God usually in times of need, but as I have become older I have noticed that my relationship with our Heavenly Father is more balanced. Now in my prayers I also give thanks to Him for everything that he has blessed me with. I very much believe in the power of prayer; asking for forgiveness and being thankful.<BR/><BR/>Lots of love to you<BR/>EliseElisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01736379272589983153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1158470695500481257.post-71288743331751424712008-08-11T20:21:00.000-05:002008-08-11T20:21:00.000-05:00and, hi back to you, gorgeous vanessa:) i'm so ha...and, hi back to you, gorgeous vanessa:) i'm so happy you stopped to say hello, and thank you. <BR/>when you read me, i think you are going to find that i am a regular person who believes strongly in God and prayer but also a person who has never lost site of who she is (ha!, i am). feel free to return anytime!!!<BR/>love,<BR/>danidanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238327752920852333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1158470695500481257.post-52712586973889038512008-08-11T20:17:00.000-05:002008-08-11T20:17:00.000-05:00thank you, wendi:) my words are not beautiful lik...thank you, wendi:) my words are not beautiful like yours... but, my relationship with God is beautiful. i think i wrote these posts like i did because there are times that i feel like i have an open window just to lay it all on the line. i really felt like GOd opened that window of opportunity yesterday!!!<BR/>shall something blesses come from it:)<BR/>love,<BR/>danidanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238327752920852333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1158470695500481257.post-31848109246691001282008-08-11T20:13:00.000-05:002008-08-11T20:13:00.000-05:00thank you, t... i really felt it important. i ho...thank you, t... i really felt it important. i hope it's because someone out there needed to read it. i hope that it helps someone without offending anyone:)<BR/>wouldn't it be awesome to think that Jesus' testimony to nicodemus on my little blog might keep someone sinking from drowning??? it would be awesome, indeed, t!!!<BR/>love,<BR/>danidanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238327752920852333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1158470695500481257.post-49576109173396790222008-08-11T19:52:00.000-05:002008-08-11T19:52:00.000-05:00Hi gorgeous Dani - I'm Vanessa and I love reading ...Hi gorgeous Dani - I'm Vanessa and I love reading your positive, uplifting comments on Sheye's blog.<BR/><BR/>I went to church for the very first time last year (aged 35).

I have always gone to church. I grew up going on Sunday and Wednesday evenings. I went through all of the motions because this is what and how I was taught to believe. Although most of my friends were getting baptized I never truly felt worthy...therefore never did. It wasn't until I got married and had a child until I truly realized the love my Lord has for me. I truly accepted Christ and surrendered myself to him when we baptized Sam. Rick baptized me the same day. It was then that I felt the holy spirit enter my body. I can remember sitting in the church pew and I asked God to come into my heart and open my eyes to see and my ears to hear that I felt this overwhelming sensation. <BR/>When I think of the Scripture John 3:16 I literally picture Jesus Christ on the cross and the suffering he endured for my sins. It only makes me want to serve him more. <BR/>I don't believe you have to be in a church to accept Christ..I just happened to be at FUMC at the time.<BR/><BR/>This may sound odd to you, but before I got to know you, people would often talk about your relationship with God. Almost as if HE spoke to you directly. I have often thought of you as being an angel on earth...does that sound corky...if so ...sorry.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01940431647902432502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1158470695500481257.post-80502829160884356722008-08-11T12:53:00.000-05:002008-08-11T12:53:00.000-05:00Thank you so much for this and your last post Dani...Thank you so much for this and your last post Dani ~ You have explained your opinion and your beliefs so well!!<BR/><BR/>I believe in god and believe in the power of prayer very strongly ~ I suppose I just do not have strong opinions on this ~ I have never really thought too deeply about what it means to me ~ but now your post has made me really think and I want to thank you for that!!<BR/>You are truly a wonderful person Dani and I am so thankful that our lives crossed and we found each other!!

It really conveyed a strong testimony that you have in your Savior.<BR/><BR/>I also believe that the Spirit is essential in leading all to truths. I love the Spirit also. Very much. He has testified to me many times in my askings. I am grateful for that.<BR/><BR/>I think I was also in my bedroom when I gained my testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I was in there for 2 weeks in my PJ's asking and praying and repenting. It came and I have never been the same. I was changed. It is a very personal experience isn't it? And a very solid when it is yours.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your sharing in your thoughts and beliefs.
