I think I have been saved many times, mostly from myself. Some of my decisions have led me down a dangerous path, so I am blessed to have had God’s protection helped by a praying mother who was my best friend. I have taken risks as a young adult that were foolish, without stopping to think of the consequences. One of the decisions I made at the age of 19 was to get married to a man I thought I was in love with, but didn’t really know. I did know he was honest and a good person, but I had no idea that our parenting styles would cause major conflicts in life. I discovered we disagreed in our faith beliefs, which led to difficulties in communication. I had no idea how to fix our problems, but I thought that we could live together especially for our children, and by connecting with people I felt comfortable that our marriage could work.
I was lonely in the deepest part of my being I wanted more from the relationship. I wanted a soul mate someone to share joys and sorrows with. I wanted some excitement in my life, but most of all I wanted to be rid of the anxiety and depression I was feeling. I thought my marriage was to blame for my depression, but I was wrong, I was running away from my problems.
In my teens I attended church and taught the young children about the love of Jesus at Sunday school. I loved what I was doing, but I drifted away because I found life in the church restricting, when it came to dating and dancing. It didn’t take long for me to convince myself I was having fun.
Looking back there were so many blessings in which to be thankful for, a good husband, beautiful healthy children, my own loving parents, and my friends to name a few, but I was empty inside, lonely and broken, with no sense of identity. I never understood how Child Sexual abuse robs a child of his or her identity, and it was a secret people kept hidden, and so talking about it, wasn’t something I wanted to do. I kept silent for a long, long time
In all of my pain I cried out to God one night, and I felt him give me acceptance and love I experienced his saving grace, I gave my heart to him that night and started to listen in my heart to his voice and follow the wisdom found in his word the Bible. I would like to say my world was made right instantly, but this is not so. It has been a long and difficult journey at times, but never have I regretted the moment I called out to God. That moment transformed me into someone who belonged to God, and there was peace and hope present in my life.
It is almost Christmas, and there is a divine presence all around us. The world would tell you otherwise. It would try to tell you that Jesus Christ’s birth and death on a cross are not real. It is up to each one of us to challenge what we believe. I encourage you today to begin to ask God to show himself real to you, but make sure you are open to his voice or the method he may choose to draw you by his spirit into the family of God.
Some of us have no trouble believing in ghosts or aliens, but think it to be impossible that we were created in God’s image.
Do you need a miracle in your life,? Say a small prayer, God hears you. Salvation of your soul is the greatest gift you can ever receive. Ask for the forgiveness of all your wrong doing and give him all your hurts and fears. Find a Bible and start reading the teaching of Jesus. If you have any questions e-mail me I will be glad to reply. Bless you this Christmas.
