THE CHOSEN April 3, 2021 Happy Easter friends! Jesus is Risen! This Easter feels a little more special in a sense for me. My life has been completely changed from what I believed and how I was taught about Jesus Christ. I was brought up Pentecostal and grew up going to church every Sunday. A lot of what I was taught always had me thinking that there has to be more. This past year has been a blessing after becoming a mama. I had a moment doing my day to day grind and I sat one evening and thought to myself, what is Christianity even? I began reflecting on my life and felt so overwhelmed. For too long I was trying to do things on my own strength and it left me feeling hopeless. I had my sisters over and watched how they were always filled with joy. It honestly blew me away and I told myself, “I want that.” I felt like I hadn’t connected with Jesus because I didn’t spend time with Him. My excuse was that I was just too busy. My sisters prayed over me one night and I felt Him like I’ve never felt Him before. This is when The Chosen comes in. My sisters shared with me the first season and one of the evenings I finally sat down to watch it with them. I was blown away with how simple Jesus was portrayed. That night laying in bed, I asked Jesus to strip away those things I was taught that may have skewed my image of Him. I asked Him to reveal Himself to me who He truly is. I began inviting Him to be with me throughout the day in every moment I faced. I wanted Him to be the center of everything from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep. The Chosen has completely changed the way I view Jesus and the way He has revealed Himself to me. I call myself a follower of Christ. He died for my sins and I want to follow Him for the rest of my life and meet Him in Heaven one day. He paid such a high price for me and you that no one would have paid. The Chosen has shown me a glimpse of who Jesus is and I am hungry for more. I started reading my Bible again and I am making it my daily priority. It has been life changing just taking these small steps to know Him more. Jesus is waiting for you too. He wants to get to know you and all you have to do is give Him the time of your day. Whatever you have, He’s there to receive you. Simply ask Him to be your savior, get in His word and talk to Him in simplicity. His gospel is simple. I’m not saying the ride will be easy but just like His word promises, “His yoke is easy, His burden is light” Matthew 11:30. Laying our life down for Jesus is worth it because when He laid down His, He said it was worth it. Knowing he’s with me everyday, I have nothing to worry about and nothing to fear. I know who I am in Jesus and it’s honestly been the best few months for me on this journey with Him. I choose to invite Him in everything I do and never want to stop. The Chosen is a free app where you can watch the shows for free without commercials. I recommend this show to absolutely everyone and think its absolutely amazing.
