Growth…(part one)

When i think back over what all has transpired over the past 8 months, i am humbled…and amazed at how faithful and constant God is in His blessings and promises.

Having been saved and delivered out of a lifestyle that consisted of sexual immorality, heavy substance abuse, lies and deceit, and surrounded by wicked things and people…i have come to a place in my heart and my life where i truly understand the statement “there but for the grace of God, go i”…

No matter how hard i tried to fill that void inside with drugs, or partying, or various sexual partners…nothing that i did ever gave my heart the peace and contentment as that which i’ve found only through a relationship with Him.

I’ve never had less in the way of material possessions as i do at this moment in time, and yet been so content with the circumstances and situation that i presently am…i know that he provides for His children, and He knows my needs (even before i do). That’s where the disciple complex comes into play, i guess, as i’ve been in the mindset that if it came to a place where i was asked by the Lord to pack my bag and follow wherever He wanted me to go..without hesitation, i would leave this all behind. I have such a desire in my heart to spread His love and truth to as many as He sends my way…

I know, with the events of the past few months, that God has such a purpose in my life..and that all i need to do is just be obedient to His voice. I know that He opens and closes doors, as i have been witness to some incredible happenings (and i no longer believe in coincidence)..it’s all according to His purpose and plan for my life.

…i just want to thank you, Lord
