Another attempt-Why I choose the name Joyful Mother
I started a blog once before, but I don't know what happened to it; I searched for my username and pass word and can't find it!
So here is another attempt to blog.
I choose the name Joyful Mother because Psalm 113:9 says,
He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD.
I am not barren in the womb, but I was barren spirtiually and because of that it caused me to be a depressed mother. The reason I was barren spirtually was because I lacked the assurance of being truely born again. It was an intense battle of the mind as I sought the Lord to bring me His assurance. The answer was so simple it was starring me right in the face. However, the devil was blinding me to the simplicity of it, and for a good reason on his part. The devil wanted me to be a depressed and barren woman, so that I would be a horrible mother, so that my children wouldn't know the Lord themselves.
Jesus was faithful! As I studied and searched I found something out so awesome! Jesus' Work on the Cross is already finished there is nothing more for me to do but believe that he took care of everything in reference to my sin on the cross. God is satisified with the perfect saccrifice of Jesus, and I am satisified with that too! I am resting in Jesus' perfect work. I am not working to bring about this salvation, I am resting in the salvation that has already been provided by Jesus.
When I discovered this, that it was already finished, I believed God's Word, rested my soul in it, and sweet peace came to my Soul.
So Jesus has made this spiritually barren woman un barren, and now I am excited about keeping the house, and being a Joyful Mother.
The Lord gave me this verse when I was in such intense doubts. It was a promise that he spoke directly to my heart through his word, and I clung to it. Now it has been fulfilled, and that is why I choose the name Joyful Mother for my blog.
