God arrested me one Sunday evening in the basement of my home. I had nothing but a life of one mess after another. Suddenly when I least expected it, He showed up as I called for God to help me and He instantly showed up I've never been the same. Suddenly the words to Amazing Grace made sense to me! The little Bible I was given many years before for memorizing the books of the Bible made sense to me! I went into a church for the first time after 35 years of swearing I would never step foot in a church and was glad to be there and hung onto every word the preacher said, hungry for truth, truth that would turn my life from the darkness it had been, starving for answers on how to move forward on a different path. Was God planting seeds in my life way before I heard Him that evening? I.m not sure I can't put my finger on anything or anyone who had ever told me about a God who would love me unconditionally before, oh I knew about Him, I knew that Jesus died on a cross to pay for my sins intellectually, I knew these things, I had heard these things all my life but there was always a but in there, there was always the rules that I always managed to break no matter how hard I tried not too. I just couldn't live up to that salvation and then God showed me that I was no surprise to Him and that His grace was free and it was forever and it didn't depend on my behavior and I couldn't do anything to make Him not love me because when He looked at me He saw His Son now, I was covered for past present and future sins and I was already sitting in heavenly places. Jesus paid it all one time for all sin. It was such a freedom in knowing that. I want to do His will, I don't want to sin and when I do it grieves me so where before if I sinned I knew it was wrong but I just thought I'll never be perfect so I might as well do whatever feels good I'm going to Hell anyway. I can't live the Christian life and I'm not even going to try. Heaven is probably boring anyway. I am so very very thankful that He didn't give up on me like I gave up on Him. <br />Jesus saved a wretch like me and I will never get over being amazed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15467723830452555898noreply@blogger.com
