God has blessed me in so many ways, even when my life has been nothing but a shambles or uncertain. For one thing, He gave me life, He gave me breath (although I DID have a hard time getting started, and I nearly went to Him when I was born; I was NOT expected to live!), He knew me before I was even FORMED, and He knew my heart and my soul even when I was too young enough to understand my purpose in life.
I have always wondered what I was destined to do in my life (for years, I never knew, and at times my life was a struggle), and I often questioned God and got frustrated with Him whenever bad or hurtful things came my way. I didn't understand that I needed to be saved from sin until I was but a teenager, and my twin sister (as well as a friend who was a Christian) both led me to Christ. I have been saved for over 3o years now, but I still have a long way to go in my Christian walk: I often fall to the temptations of man and sin, and sometimes I DO slip; but I have to realize that God is always there to catch me whenever I DO "fall" from His Good Graces. He still loves me for ME, and He cared enough about ME to send His Most Holy and Begotten Son, Jesus, to DIE for ME and MY SINS, and He will NEVER leave me, no matter how stubborn, or how stupid, I may act! He allows me to slip, but I can always go running back to Him whenever I need a buildup of my faith (it sometimes wanes; it only shows that I AM human!!), and somehow He always sustains me. He is the Reason I am alive today (I was not expected to survive my birth back in 1959), and He is the Reason why I am writing now. He is the Reason I am the person I am today, and NOBODY else can help me like He does! He is my Provider, He is my Shelter from life's storms, He is my Healer, He is my Abba-Father, He is my Protector, and above all else, He is my LORD AND SAVIOUR. I someimes do mess up in life, but I have a very strong ally in God, and He will never let me down or leave me stranded...EVER.
All I have to do is look at what He has done in my life and praise Him for the Goodness and Love that only He can show me; and I have to realize that no matter how much I may suffer in life's journey, there are so many more who have it so much worse; and all of a sudden, my problems don't look so bad. So I am then grateful, and I can then praise Him for all the blessings that He has bestowed upon me.
1959 huh! LOL well we share a birth year my friend! Mine is the 24th of this month, yours? LOL Opps I just told my age HUH! ROFL ;) Oh well with age comes wisdom. (for most anyway!):) As for the Story... yep thats God for you! He never gives up on us, glad you are doing so much better my friend!
