Joy in your Salvation

Shalom All!
OK, you’ve accepted Yeshua as your Savior. That first hour your heart swelled!, a load left your chest and shoulders!, and you wanted G-D to come and bring you to him right then and there! Here it is the next day and you’re still here! What happened? Don’t worry chaverim! This happens to all of us. When I accepted Yeshua as my Savior and Messiah, I ran to my brother and told him, his response, “Oh, leave me alone!” I realized that not everyone was going to be happy for me! I thought, should I get angry?, be hurt? or just indifferent? It’s going to be tough sometimes for you to witness or to share Yeshua with others. Just remember that G-D loves you and knows your heart! In the book of the Philippians chp1:v9-12 (Complete Jewish Bible), Rav Sha’ul (Paul) tells us “and this is my prayer: that your love may more and more overflow in fullness of knowledge and depth of discernment, so that you will be able to determine what is best and thus be pure and without blame for the day of the Messiah, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Yeshua the Messiah–to the glory and praise of G-D”. So don’t be discouraged as your salvation is secure! In the book of Romans 14: v17, Rav Sha’ul (Paul), tells us “for the kingdom of G-D is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and JOY in the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit)”. No matter how you might sometimes be received, Adonai is with you! Keep sharing the Gospel and serving EL ELYON! Find a good congregation and fellowship with other believers to strengthen your faith (and theirs), and walk with Messiah in joy and hope. As you grow in your new faith you will know unfathomable joy and security in Yeshua. By the way, my brother now helps on the radio ministry! (it only took 33 years). So, as Rav Sha’ul (Paul) would say, “Fight the good fight and remember the prize.”
Shalom and Blessings!
