Thank you very much. I am so looking forward to this experience. God told me to stay off Facebook feeds especially those that are posted to incite anger. (Politics). So since I don't get out much this is about as much social life as I get and I can already sense the spirit of peace operating.

Well I am still new and can't quite figure it out so the rest of my story goes like this:
I went to church all my life, got saved when I was 7. After I became an adult I joined the adult Sunday service. We had a wonderful pastor who just happened to preach his sermon on the very sin I committed that week. At the end of the sermon he invited anyone who needed to come to the alter to rededicate, get saved or be delivered to come forward. I was there every single service. One Sunday after church and getting saved again I went home threw my body on the floor and cried to God uncontrollably and said "I give up, this Christianity thing is too hard and no matter how I try I seem to always mess up!"
Then I heard a voice, it wasn't really audible to my ears but it was very audible in my mind. It said to me "Patty, who do you think I am?"....instinctively somehow I knew he expected me to say something so I said you are God...He asked a second time, I replied a little more hesitantly since the 1st answer didn't seem to be right and said "umm The Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End, the I AM...(I got it right this time for sure!)...then He asked a 3RD TIME!!! I stuttered and searched my memory of what I was taught about who God is and finally I said what do you want me to say...
He replied soooooo lovingly and tender and said "I am your Father, and as much as you love your daughter so much more do I love you that you can't comprehend it. As your daughter grows up and makes mistakes you will correct her, discipline her at times but never ever ever will you stop loving her because of her mistakes. And neither will I stop loving you just because you make a mistake. Allow yourself to be led of the spirit, repent daily and always forgive...as I will always forgive you. Seek Me daily, walk with me, talk with me, tell me what's on your heart. I AM YOUR FATHER!" So wow..
I was approximately 23 y.o. when this happened and it liberated me from condemnation. I now know I am truly saved! Amen!

Wow! What a beautiful testimony and an encouragement to us all! Welcome to CF! 
I hope you find lots of good fellowship here. I'm not a member of Facebook, so this is pretty much the extent of my social media, too.
I'm a fairly new member, and I've really enjoyed it to far. Just a heads-up though- I have seen some threads where posters get into arguments and become downright mean-spirited, so that can happen here, too.

Of course He doesn't, but by asking He made me realize how little I understood about His relationship to me and my salvation.

Assurance of salvation from Spirit led appreciation of the promises of Scripture to the believer in the Lord Jesus is very wonderful thing!
John First Epistle, among other things, is about assurance of salvation; it's a wonderful, short Epistle by the same author of John's Gospel and Revelation.
