I guess that this is where I could post this. Might give you a little bit of an idea of who I am!
"God had lead me to ***, after more than 20+ years of being away from Him. I was depressed & suicidal after my latest job had failed, & I saw no hope for myself. I had already almost succeeded in killing myself once before, and was determed not to fail this time. When I initially joined ***, I was a rable rouser-always trying to destroy Christianity with logic-but little by little-the people at ***chipped away at me, until I finally got enough courage, to ask them to pray for me. They did, & I finally ended up at a church that had a Saturday evening service.
God had been leading me there too, although I didn't realize it until later. I couldn't have been there more than 10-15 minutes, when 3 people came over to me. I told them why I was there, & they prayed with me-it was then, like the prodigal son of the Bible, that THIS prodigal son finally came back home! Since that date-1/11/03-my life has been changed like I never would have believed!
Over the next few weeks, I had developed, (or in this case been given by God), an unbelievably loving spirit. In addition, my swearing that I had done constantly, for over the past 20+years virtually vanished, & my hatred of women that I had all those years, all but vanished as well. I truely consider ***my family,& because of the burden of love & concern that I have for all of them, as well as the members of my church that I now attend, (this too, after over more than 20+years!), I physically cry whenever anyone leaves ***, because of the endless love that I have for them, through Jesus Christ. It is like losing an arm or a leg whenever one of then leave, or there is disharmony among them. They are my family!
God has made me into a totally new person, since 1/11/03! I may have left Him, but He never gave up on me! I praise God everyday, for ***, my church, & most of all for Jesus waiting for me to come home after all those years! Thge truth of Hebrews 13:8, was never truer than on 1/11/03-"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, & yes, forever"!
Praise God for His love-a love that I have for all of my *** brothers & sisters, as well as all the members of my church! I would sacrifice myself for anyone of them, without a second thought! I never thought that I could have this kind of love, but now I can-through the awesome power of Jesus Christ, who never gave up on His prodigal son to come home!
(I feel the same way for all of you as well!)
In Jesus Name!
