God's mercy and endless love never ceases to amaze me. How can someone so perfect unconditionally love someone as imperfect as I am? I have doubted God so much in my life and in so many different ways. He is always there and willing to forgive my trangressions, however. I feel more at peace with God today than I have felt in a very, very long time. As a teenager I allowed my faith in God to dwindle to near nonexistence. I allowed Satan to convince me that God could never forgive me or love me again.
I also allowed Satan to convince me that I should not read my Bible because I was too young to understand its contents. I became a Christian at the very young age of ten. I believed for a very long time that I had to wait until I was older to gain understanding. How foolish I was. Even if I was not able to understand the Word as I do now, that was no excuse for not reading. I am sure that even now my understanding will change with time. I will gain a more mature understanding in His Word and in His time.
Please continue to keep me in your prayers. It seems the more I try to get closer to God, the more Satan fights against me. I know that when Satan leaves you alone you should be worried; he then believes that he has won. I suppose his presence should actually be something to be thankful for at times. Not because I want evil around me, but because he knows that he has not won my soul.
I do believe that everything happens for a reason. I hope to one day be able to help others in their times of doubt.
