I
wouldn’t change it for a thing! If I had to do this journey all over again, I’ll
grab onto Jesus hand and hold it tight for the duration. The woman I am today
would not exist had it not been DOITFORCHRIST. The broken, silent people-pleaser,
insecure, strong outside fragile inside, defeated woman died a horrible death
never to be heard from again! A new woman emerged.
Oh sure, it would take some
time for the residue to fade off, but certainly, a different breed—a brand new Hortense
Duarma Grimes arose. Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! The calling on my life gave me
purpose. The anointing on my life gave me power. The sanctification gave me
authority. My response to the Lord’s call gave me joy. I am a different kind of
woman today because of August 1, 1999. The encounter, the experience, the
exposure, the reality of the walk, have brought happiness beyond my ability to comprehend.
I am truly a satisfied woman. How can that be, all things considered! The Name Jesus.
That’s it! That is the long and the short end of the story—JESUS CHRIST.
Because
of the happenings in my life on August 1, 1999, I have become a woman who
understands her position on this earth. A woman who knows her worth. A woman
who appreciates her value. A woman standing tall, in a world that often shortens
others and forces people to sit still. I will always stand up; sitting down only
when I choose to. No force on earth can silence my stand in Christ. No force in
earth, sea, or sky could hush my voice for Jehovah God. I am a woman who knows
what it means to be running after her God. Nothing compares to knowing the
vastness of the Father’s love for the sinner child. God! God! God! I am talking
Excellent God Almighty.
You,
my friend, are most important to God. Get it in your head that there is none
like you in this world. You are perfect just the way you are if you allow Jesus
to seal you. You are unique. God made it so. You have been fashioned by an
excellent creator, a flawless, perfect God. You are special and you deserve to
know it. Hear this one thing from me: YOU MATTER TO GOD.
Today,
I bless Jesus Christ and give glory to Almighty God. Today, I celebrate 20
years of answering my name call “Hortense. Hortense.” Today, I recall how I
turned and was face to face with God who took on human flesh to die on an old
rugged Cross for me. Today, I reflect there I was looking into the face of
Jesus Christ, the Divine! Dare I say, I am most important to God. The Creator of
the Universe sees me with His loving eyes. No other experience in this mortal
body could ever touch this. Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Today
and going forward in the years to come, as Jesus tarry, I will continue to journey
in the blessings-benefits Christ has given me—purpose, power, sanctification, joy—all
for the Glory of Almighty God.
I
say to me, Happy 20th Year Anniversary Hortense! God’s got you girl.
God’s got you!!!
