I was in my office yesterday when I got a visit from a great friend that used to work here. He has since retired but comes to see us from time to time and we love when he comes around. His personality really can brighten a room. Yesterday while Ron was here he told me that he had seen some of the things I post about and he saw God working through me. Ron said “I always knew you had it in you, but now I see you posting about it!”
While that statement may seem innocuous to most and it kind of slid by me in the beginning it left me with questions. I am overjoyed that Ron could see Jesus in me through our daily interactions, but what about the people that don’t see me daily? What about the people that only see me on social media or read the things I care to share? Am I doing enough with the lives God has placed around me?
I haven’t always been in a church, and spent most of my life living the way I want to regardless of how anyone felt about it. I have always believed in God, and was told from a young age about how Jesus died for my sins, so I could be forgiven. Living the way I did though, it put me in the lives of people that didn’t believe the way I did. If these people are following me today, do they see a changed man?
So let me start with saying, please forgive me if I have led you down a path that was damaging to you in any way. Forgive me for being ashamed to tell my story. Forgive me for not telling you about the way GOD found me in the darkness, and rescued me from myself, and most of all Please forgive me for not sharing my savior with you, because I promise you his grace is sufficient to cover all of your sins.
I will do better, I will be better. If you need prayers, then I’m praying. If you need to scream and cry, then I’m listening. If you need someone to stand with you in the darkness, I will be by your side the entire time. Most importantly if you need to know how great our GOD is, I would love to tell you all about My Jesus.
I LOVE YOU!!!
