MY EARLT LIFE !!!!! continued. (2) This is Revelation, this is the Truth, can you handle the Truth, Jesus is the truth, he speak the TRUTH: Quote “however during my middle twenties, a new line of questioning took possession of my thoughts. As I walked ever more frequently alone in the hills, my rebellion was replaced by an-consuming longing to know and understand the true nature of that which must surely inspire and respire through creation. I reviewed my lifestyle and saw what suffering my actions had caused my mother and many other people. Although I felt such deep compassion for the weak and suffering, my rebellious nature had prompted much thoughtless and selfish behaviour towards my family. My underlying love for them now welled up in me and I found myself becoming equally rebellious against my past behaviour. I heard talk about John the baptist and the work he was doing amongst the Jews who came to listen to his words even from Jerusalem. I decided to visit him to be baptized myself. On the way to the River Jordan, I felt exhilarated at the prospect of being baptized and starting a new life. I knew that, despite my unruly emotionalism, I had also been born with a keen intelligence and gift for insightful, impressive debate which I had used willfully and negatively, leading people into unruly arguments. I had thrown my talents away by perusing a life of self-will, idleness and pleasure. As a result, I had forfeited all respect from others, neither did I possess any self-respect. For the first time, I found this to be intolerable. It occurred to me that, in the future, I could and must put my natural gifts to better use. Instead of just making a noise, perhaps I could find a way to lighten the burdens of those whom I so deeply pitied. Up to that time, I had been of little practical use to anyone”. Unquote. God Bless.
