I have certainly grown and changed throughout the 40+ years since I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ, and was filled with the Holy Ghost. But there came a point in recent years, when I got really, really serious with God, and He got really, really serious with me. One step at a time, it finally came down to whether I was willing to “let God be true, and every man a liar” [Romans 3:4]. That was tough for me, but I said, “yes”. That brought me to the point when God asked me, “If I show you, will you do it?” In fear and trembling, and with no way to know what He would ask me to do, or what the cost may be, I promised Him I would. When I said “Yes” again to Him that day, He started a work on me that I was absolutely, totally unprepared for. I have been overwhelmed… both by the shock of the unrecognized sin He revealed, and His amazing love and mercy toward me. The process continues, but He has already completely changed the way I see everything… including Him, and His Word… and myself, and others. God has taught me so much, but I’ve never before felt like what I know is such a tiny part of what there is to know. I know Him now like I never would have dreamed, but I have never been so hungry to know Him more!
God is LOVE, and many times His love brings me to tears as I write these posts, and feel His love for those who will read these words. Words, especially short written posts as these, are so inadequate to express what I feel, or what God feels. My hope and desire is that, somehow, these few words can impart a fear of the Lord, and provoke some to get really humble and honest with God; and also show the greatness of His love, that will encourage many others to hold on and keep climbing. What God does with these words is up to Him. My goal is simply to hear my precious Saviour, whom I love SO much, say, “Well done. You’ve been faithful.”
Thank you,
