But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions–it is by grace you have been saved. (Ephesians 2:4-5)
…But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. (Luke 15:20)
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. (Psalm 139:13)
Gianna Jessen has a powerful testimony of how God reached in and saved her life. She is not afraid to share the Gospel of Jesus in a very direct way. In one statement she says, “I didn’t survive to make people feel comfortable…” I think sometimes as Christians we become a little too comfortable. This is a story of a champion. A woman who survived the odds stacked against her. Please take time to view her testimony and allow God to embrace your heart through it!
Their possessions were too great for them to remain together; the land where they were staying could not support them both because of their livestock. (Genesis 36:7)
This passage of Scripture is referring to Jacob and Esau. It is mentioned in the account of Esau’s life. There is really little that we know about Esau, as we have come to know much more about his brother Jacob. We know that Esau gave up his birthright for a meal, he lost “the blessing”, at one point in time he wanted to kill his brother, and then later in Scripture we find out that Esau had forgiven his brother Jacob.
