Today it is my great pleasure to introduce to you:

Meet Crissy (Sonrisa) @ Living By Faith! Sonrisa’s blog posts are a welcome dose of Truth and Encouragement each day. Her faith is contagious and her commitment to her Savior is so evident in her words. If you haven’t yet had the pleasure of meeting her, please take this opportunity to familiarize yourself with Sonrisa’s site. I’ve included her Welcome page below, as well as one of her blog posts which I find full of truth! I hope you’ll take the time to visit and introduce yourself!

Welcome to my blog

My life can be best summarized in the words of the famous hymn “Amazing Grace”:

“Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T’was blind but now I see.”

JOHN NEWTON

I am so glad you are here. I hope you will enjoy reading my posts. My hope is that we will encourage one another. My aim is to exalt my Saviour “The Lord Jesus Christ”. Without Him I am nothing. He found me lost in sin, and gave me the most wonderful gift I have ever received.

“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” Ephesians 2:8‭-‬9 NKJV

Friend, if you have been born again by the Spirit of God, Praise God!

“The LORD lives! Praise to my Rock! May God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted!” 2 Samuel 22:47

If you haven’t been born again, let me implore you to search for ” absolute truth” found only on one person, JESUS CHRIST, in the pages of God’s Word, The Bible.

Please watch the video. May Almighty God draw you to Himself through the cross of Jesus.

“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me’.” John 14:6 NKJV

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16‭-‬17 NKJV

“The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand. He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” John 3:35‭-‬36 NKJV

“Who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness— by whose stripes you were healed.” I Peter 2:24 NKJV

“Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.” II Corinthians 5:20 NKJV

NEVER FOLLOW YOUR HEART

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?”

JEREMIAH‬ ‭17:9‬ ‭

“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.”

MARK‬ ‭7:21-23‬ ‭

Crissy, thank you so much for sharing your words and life with us. Your faith and commitment to Christ shines through in your writing, and is greatly encouraging!

“The Lord bless you and protect you;
The Lord make his face to shine upon you,
and be gracious to you;
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you
and give you peace.”

Numbers 6:24-26 NET
