So many things have happened on this journey we call life. But nothing will ever compare to when I finally found my way back to God. I walked away from God so many years ago, of my own choosing, not to find or spritual avenues....because there are none. Choices I made along the way back, my own opinion of what will get me through the next day, the next week, month, year. I have had to lose a lot because of my own stubborness that I could take care of myself, with no help from anyone,especially God.
I use this space to give testimony of how God can work in one's life and how much mercy He has as He waits for one to return. Mistakes are erased, forgiveness is given and even though God never left me, I had to become broken before He could fix me. In order for that to happen, I had to get to the point where nothing was left but God. That does not make Him a last resort, but it did make me realize,there was nothing else left. Making beauty out of ashes....so true. The difference is in me,God never changed, He never will, but He does restore and fills us with such love for Him...He took me as I was, I did not change because of anything I did, God changed me because of Who He Is. I love it.
I change my profile statement because I am no longer the person I was when I first came to BookCrossing. I push this on no one, we each have to come seperately to Christ, I just had to give my testimony, because I am not ashamed of what God has done for me...we are called to share that experience....this is just obedience to God, but a joy to tell.
I don't argue religion, because Christianity is not a religion, it is a way of life. I don't have to defend my relationship with Christ,no more than I have to defend His word. But I would love to talk to anyone if they want to know how to have eternal life, how to a work in progress here on earth, and strive to perfect my faith as much as I can daily. I am no one special.....just a sinner saved by grace...how sweet the sound.
