Let me tell you...one foot in the world
was fine
with church on Sundays!! I lived in a
very
non-committied, still "worldly" state
for 8 years.
My life was a constant roller coaster
spiritually
speaking. I was not "happy" inside
a lot of the times because I would still
look on and
off to the things of the world to
satisfy me, which
only confused me further. It never
relieved that
underlying sadness that I
felt.
God is faithful...He knew what it would
take to get
my attention a whole lot more than what
I was giving
to Him!! He is a jealous God...He wants
our
attention all of the time. He is the
one that needs
to be first in our
lives.
It took a fire that gutted my bedroom in
literally
18 minutes back in 1985 that more
than got my
attention!!! I certainly learned quickly
how much "HE" (God)
wanted my attention, and believe me, I
have never
forgotten it!!!
For the first time, in a long
time, I felt my
life was worth living.
I have worked at establishing a
closer personal walk with Jesus Christ.
It was thru
the dark valleys in my life where I got
to know Him
most.
And, my dark valleys are
no different than
anyone elses either..thru those times
where friends
seemingly abandon you or say the most
hateful things
(yes, our fellow Christian brothers and
sisters that
are as human as we are), where family
seems to now
treat you as the "black" sheep, or
accuse you of
joining some "religious cult," when your
health
fails and you find yourself physically
challenged
from serious medical problems (and you
aren't even
40!!), or financially things just fall
apart, and so
on!!
Yet, it was through these times of
trials over
years I developed a real vertical
with Jesus Christ.I love Him with
everything
within me. He is my portion in this
life,
my hope, and my delight!!! The grace
of God
means
so much to me, words here on this screen
will never
explain it to anyone...deep in my heart
I have many
treasured experiences with my personally
coming to
know the love of God, and also His
grace
experientially. God is so gracious to
us all.
<>
Isaiah
30:18 (KJV)....and therefore will the
Lord wait,
that
He may be gracious unto you.....
He brought
me from a state of where I lost
everything, to a
place of knowing that HE IS
EVERYTHING that I
need
and everything I could ever want. How
important to
Him are our every little worry and
details that
arise...
He takes care of us.
He took care of me
thru the darkest hours of my life having
ovarian
cancer in 1995 and all of the
circumstances and
details involved with that.
He taught me that my
life has value, and that I have value to
Him. And,
for that, I am eternally grateful.!!!
Salvation is a free gift
from God.
..its not something we earn..
...it is freely
given to us from a heavenly Father who
loved us so
much that He sent His son Jesus Christ
to be a
sacrificial Lamb on the cross...in our
place.
He
loves us so much that He shed His blood
on the cross
for the sins of all mankind.
The bible says that
all of us have sinned and fallen short
of the glory
of God...and that the wages of sin are
death...and
not eternal life.
All sin separates us from
Him....yet the Bible says that all who
call upon Him
shall be saved (Acts
2:21).
"Dear Jesus, I know that I am a
sinner facing
eternal damnation in hell. I ask you to
forgive me
for my sins, and come into my heart and
be my
personal Savior and Lord. Thank you for
dying in my
place on the cross so that I can have
eternal life
with you". Amen.

received Jesus Christ in your heart.
Thank
you.
Thank you for taking the time to
read my
testimony...and for sharing with me the
most
important part of my life...my
relationship with
Jesus Christ as my Savior and Lord. If
your life
was touched or changed in any way, then
it makes
what I have gone through worth every
thing. May God
Bless You.
