 Moments of desperation, moments of despair, moments of disappointment, and moments that don't make sense. I want to tell you today my dear reader, that Jesus Christ wants to meet you a your moment. Whatever that moment might be, there is a divine appointment with you and Jesus. He has His hand stretched out for you if you are believer or not. Jesus wants to meet you at your moment.

There are many instances in the Word that shows those moments, those moments that don't make sense. Like the moment God called Moses using a burning bush, or the moment He called out Abram from his father's lands. Many instances, but I want to talk about one in particular; the story is about the Samaritan woman in John 4. Her name is never mentioned but that moment was so important and so powerful it had to be recorded in the book of John. The story is about Jesus and this Samaritan woman, now if we look back in history the Samaritan people were looked downed upon by the Jewish people. But Jesus in that time had to go through Samaria to get to Galilee.

I believe the importance of this story, is that Jesus had to go through Samaria, but it as Jesus stopping at Jacob's well that is impacting is a Samaritan woman comes to draw water from the well. Jesus asks her for water, but she is not into giving in. But the verse that impacts me is this one:

John 4:13-14:

Jesus answered, " Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed the water I give them will be in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." NIV

Jesus answers her in her moment, in her moment of confusion and possible despair. The story goes on of Jesus telling her a bit of her life, which impacted her greatly she went on to spread the gospel of the good news of Jesus Christ. Jesus not only answers her in her moment, but also confronts, comforts and meets her at her moment.

I wan to tell you today my friends let Jesus meet you at your moment, be like the Samaritan woman at the well, inquire to Him if you need to, He will give you the answer to the troubles, for His water never runs out, that we shall never thirst again, because He is living water, if He is living water let Him in if you do not know Him. Jesus was brought to this earth to extend the grace and love of God for everyone, it is not only reserved for the righteous but for the sinner as well.

Say this prayer if you want Jesus to meet you at your moment:

 Lord, forgive me for my sins, I want you to meet me at my moment, moments of despair, moments of confusion, and disappointment. That you Jesus Christ may enter my heart and I can finally have salvation. Thank you Lord for love and for your grace. In Jesus name I pray, amen.

Many Blessings,

Melissa Meran.

    Thank you! Good words. Especially when life is hard and sometimes you just don't know which way to turn. And then we remember. We should always turn to God. He meets us in our pain. I needed these words today. Thank you.

    This hits close to home, I am sure many of you this topic hits close to home. A betrayal from a good friend, a loss of a job, or something personal that hits you hard every time you think about it. Well on this post let's talk about rising above. But not only rising above it all, but doing it with the strength of the Lord. The Holy Spirit guiding us to go above the storm just like the eagle when it spreads its wings.  The eagle is a majestic creature that spreads its wings and lets the wind carry it above the storm. Now picture yourself like that eagle, rising above that storm; letting the wind take you as you spread your wings. Fly above the the storm my friends, because God is holding you in His right hand. He is sustaining you in all of your troubles, in all of your trials, God is with you and around you, no matter the circumstance. Recently, I had a car accident, incredibly unexpected and totally my fault when it happened. At the time I was more worried about the dr

Overcoming Fear and Trusting the Lord

     Fear , one of those words that is not mentioned in constant conversations. Fear more of a semblance of emotion than just a word spoken in a sermon or on a page in a book. There have been many topics on fear and overcoming the deceitfulness of fear, but I want to go through my experience with overcoming fear and giving my complete trust to the Lord. I believe the biggest fear that grips every one of us is always the fear of the unknown, but I want to say to you brothers and sisters we do not have to fear the unknown. A verse has been resonating in my spirit and has stirred my confidence and trust in the Lord.  1 John Chapter 4 verse 18: " There is no fear in love; but perfect love drives out  fear: because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."  NIV Now, let's look at the word again  "Fear" , what does that word make you think about? Was there something that caused fear in your life that you have not been able

The God who loves....

  Whoever does not love, does not know God, because God is love.  1 John 4:8 God is love. Something we do not think about very often, a phrase such as "I love you" can lose its significance. But God's love is everlasting; a love that surpasses human understanding. A love that forgives, a life that is kind, a love that showed the greatest sacrifice: Where He sent Jesus. the lion and the lamb to save the world from itself. Now think about love as something a child possesses; a child no matter what you do will love and forgive instantly regardless of the circumstance. We have to think of God's love in this way, a love that is kind and covers a multitude of sins. In saying this we must value the love God has for us, just like a love of a child that is unconditional; a love that asks for nothing in return. We must also extend this Godly love to everyone around us, it is not just reserved for family and close friends, but for the lost and for the broken as w
