Hi everyone, like the title suggests I am a new Christian. i didn't realize that I really was t until just last week, when I talked to a few people I work with, one being Muslim and going through a fast. The other guy and myself both saw he was sweating pretty bad and offered him a glass of water, which he refused which got us talking about why. Now I have always considered myself a Christian, and if asked that's what I would have classified myself as, however I noticed as the three of us talked the other being an atheist, they had questions I couldn't awnser. Mainly because I found out at that spot I myself wasn't who I claimed to be. I own a bible that haddn't been opened in about 5 years, I stopped going to church when I was still a teen, and me coming to the realization that I couldn't help, because I myself didn't put in the effort with the relationship with God to help those that were lost. It was a perfect opportunity to share God and I couldn't. When I got home that night I decided it was time for me to put aside this selfish life I've been leading, and I asked God to forgive me for what I know was my fault with the relationship. For years I had fooled myself into thinking God and I were good, but I was wrong. I know I am forgiven and it is strange how God does work, as the next day the atheist's car broke down, and he asked me if I could drive him to work. He said he had bought a bible to read, and he and I each day since, (mind you it's only been two days now) have discussed Jesus on the way to and from work. He is asking with a heart wanting to accept something and he and I together are figuring things out. Now this I must ask you fellow Christians as well, will you forgive me for impersonating you for so many years? I now wish to serve God, though I am new in my true walk I am excited to see what God has truly planned for me, that I was to stupid myself to trust many years earlier. Thank you for reading this, have a great night everyone.
