Saved By Grace
I was saved as a teenager in 1969. When I couldnt quit smoking, I thought I wasnt good enough for God, so I dropped out of church. I thought I was committing a worse sin by going to church and NOT being able to live perfectly and by what I thought was all the rules of a good Christian. Now I know that was me judging myself too harshly. For many years I felt until I could live up to what I was supposed to do, I wasnt going to be what I thought was a hypocrite.
One night in 1985, I was saved through reading my Bible trying to find out why I wasnt good enough for God. I soon realized that I was under the grace of God and He loves me no matter what. I gave my life to God that night and I felt a true difference inside of me. I could feel God's presence with me. I realized that God was with me and inside of me and I have never been the same since. I was filled with the Holy Spirit about 2 months later and His presence became even more in depth within me. I have a desire to be with God and talk to Him in prayer, reading His Word, and talking to Him as My Best Friend each day. I have the confidence now to know that He loves me and forgives me each day as I seek Him and ask for His forgiveness when He prompts me to. He is my guididng light and I know that I know that He is real and alive today within His Children.
I love to minister to others through my many testimonies of what God has done for me in my life. I love to love others with His love flowing through me and encourage them and be a great friend to them in complete honesty & transparency. I am blessed by God as I minister to others as He leads, because I learn at the same time as who I am talking to many many times over. God is awesome & Jesus Is The Answer to all of our needs.
