I posted this about a year ago,and many have asked for me to post it again, so if for some reason you have never seen or read this, it is pretty much a snapshot of my testimony. If you have seen this before, sorry if it bores you. I know that I cannot recite this as I get too emotional, but if just one person reads this and it changes their life, then it was worth it. Please remember the Lords prayer today, God Bless you all. Normally I post some scripture and comment on it, but for some reason God has moved me in a different direction today, He has told me somebody out there really needs to hear this, so here goes. I came to God a little over five years, give or take, dont run away, stay with me on this. I have friends that are not believers, although they are still my friends, I may not be one of theirs now, and thats okay, I still love them and pray for them. Today God has me thinking back on my life, since coming to Him, what has changed, and although coming to him sooner would have been good, Im not so sure I would appreciate Him as much as I do now. What would I have missed if I had come to God thirty years sooner. I would have missed hundreds of nights where some or all of it is a blur, little or no memory. I would have missed all those times with my head in a toilet, some so nasty that most people wouldnt use them for their real purpose. I would have missed those countless times that I couldnt tell the difference between fantasy ( hallucination ) and reality, some of which went on for days at a time. I would have missed all those rides home, with roommates or friends that came to bail me out of jail. I would have missed all those days out of work while I appeared in court, trying to convince a judge I didnt belong behind bars. I would have missed having to repair my beater so I get to work the next day. I would have missed all those high insurance rates I paid on a car that wasnt worth one months worth of insurance. I would have missed all those unexplained bruises, cuts, and broken bones suffered during arrests that I fought through. I would have missed all those failed relationships, that I blamed them for the failing. I would have missed that disappointed look on my sons face when he would look at me on Sunday, after a weekend of partying. I would have missed paying out countless thousands in fines, attorney fees, impound fees, and towing charges, just to get my junk back. This is just a glimpse of what I would have missed if I would have come to God thirty years sooner. So why dont I have more regret for all of this, because this was His plan, He allowed me to live through all of this, when I should have been killed many times, because He knew the day and time I was going to come to Him. He also knew how devoted I would be to Him, and grateful for this chance to tell all of you just how merciful and full of grace He is. I dont know if He will give you the same chances He gave me, even scary thinking about it now. Lord, I am so indebted to You for pulling me out of the mud and saving my life, and that is why I dont hesitate to say, I WILL WORSHIP YOU FOREVER, I WILL WORSHIP YOU, AMEN.
