When I wake up in the morning I am continually amazed at the peaceful feeling I own. Even when a snapshot of my life would be ugly to most, I see hope. I have said this many times and God continually makes it true. If you were to ask me to paint a picture of THE perfect life for me it would look nothing like the circumstances I live in. However I love my life.
That is really saying something because most of my life I have been very discontent. I searched for happiness and contntment, knowing that if I could be like you I would be just fine! The master of lies told me I could be happy if I lived life chasing true happiness. Wow that was a tiring search!
Without going into all the sordid details I will say my life was “creepy”, we’ll leave it at that for now!
I don’t know exactly when I was changed but I know it happened. I know it is still happening and for that I am continually grateful. There are so many people who helped me along the way, friends who prayed for me and loved me when I was very unlovable. I know they prayed for me to find the path that leads to true joy!
When I was living in darkness (pretending to be in the light)…I had no faith in God. Sounds so easy “just have faith”…but it is not easy for some. It wan’t easy for me. I only had faith in things I could see. Mainly I only had faith in me! That only brought me emptiness, and more futile searching.
Today I have faith in The Most High God, The One and Only God. I have been rescued from the pit and I have been given this faith! It is true; I know it is true because it has happend to me! I love telling it because it is a miracle, an unnatural occurance!
So if you look at me and wonder what happened, now you know!
Romans 8:30-31 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called the also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. What shall we say in response to this? If God is for us , who can be against us?
