Welcome Saint
At RLF, I strive to inspire and encourage others on their faith walk. I believe that faith in Jesus Christ is the foundation of our Christian life and the shield against life's fiery arrows. I aim to share the Good News of the GOSPEL message; that we are Saved by God's Amazing Grace ALONE through Faith ALONE in Jesus's finished work on the cross ALONE for the Glory of God ALONE. The faith to truly trust this in your heart is a gift from God which repentance flows from. My goal is to share my faith journey and provide content that will strengthen your relationship with God and help you grow in your faith by God’s marvelous Grace.
Why Rose to Lily Faith?
I was so lost in the world, pulled into the lies of the accuser about how much fun the world was and just how much I was missing out on. I was looking for love in all the wrong places and wrong people, thinking I could find fulfillment in the world.
I was a red rose; beautiful, passionate, fierce but I carried hurtful thorns and dying petals. The thorns represent all the anger, my fears, trauma, resentment, hurt and unforgiveness I harbored. Meanwhile the quickly dying petals was the world wounding my soul and breaking off my heart piece by piece.
Then I was introduced to the Lily of the valley. This flower represents purity, humility, innocence and rebirth. The lily flower also bears fruit unlike a rose. The lily is the tallest of flowers, yet hangs down its head low unlike the rose with all its petals spread out for all to admire.
The difference in these flowers is how I will describe my faith before and after I knew Jesus. This new faith enabled me to joyfully surrender my life to Him as my personal Lord and Savior, the glorious Lily of the valley.
My faith came alive with the promise to bear much fruit; love, joy, peace, kindness, patience, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and self-control. Hallelujah!!
