Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound...

...that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see.

I was destined for hell but for the Grace of God. He has delivered me from this.

Regretfully, I've done plenty to show what a hypocrite looks like, I've been that Christian that you could point at and say, "this guy claims to believe but his actions say otherwise."

I've been a lying, fornicating, adulterous, thieving, blasphemer etc.... fill in the blank.

I've also rejected Christian fellowship by thinking that somehow, I have to be perfect and this is a standard that I cannot uphold. Looking for every excuse to justify living life how it pleased me. Including buying into the lies that said, I am not worthy.

Also believing that I could pull myself out of any situation. I had life all figured out, but I was lying to myself. What arrogance and pride.

Even my tatoos were about "me", the arm tattoo which had a phoenix rising from my initials exemplified this. I look at that one with shame and regret because the Truth is that God has been there picking me up. It wasn't me or some stupid phoenix.

This self absorption came to an end in the summer of 2016 when I cried, "Please God, I'm done!"

I wish I could say that a change took place overnight. It didn't, but once God begins a work in you, He won't fail. I've know of some changes and others have seen many.

You see, God doesn't need me nor this blog. And I dare not think that writing this is going to win me points to go to heaven. It is written; "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is a gift of God: Not of works lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2: 8-9 KJV

He commands us to spread the Gospel. And if I can help bring 1 soul closer to Salvation rather than damnation? Then I'm on the right track.

Jesus Christ died on the cross for me and for you. He is our Redeemer, He is our Savior. He is the Way, the Truth & the Life.

This section is supposed to be "about me" but it's not about me.

It's all about Him.

"For Thine is the kingdom, the power, & the glory, for ever. Amen."
