About me:

Years passed after i lost all that i loved or cared about.. my life was over in my mind and my soul condenmed for leaving my family and going on my own selfish desires. Bitterness and guilt consumed me and i did not want forgiveness. I did not want to end my life for it would be too easy of an escape and i felt i needed to suffer. I slipped back into drugs and my old life letting it swallow me not careing anymore about anything. The pain did not go away and daily it consumed me. I was filled with anger, bitterness amd self loathing. Finally i broke down.. i laid prostrate crying on the bathroom floor begging and pleading for the Lord to do something. I could not handle it anymore. The torment in my soul was too much. I offered what was left of me, as bad as it may be, to the Lord to do with as He wills. I may be nothing.. I may have nothing.. but what i have.. i give to you. Thats when he spoke to me. He said.. Your wife has left you. Your children have turned away from you. Your friends turned their backs on you. But I never change. I am always here. I still love you. I will always love you. I have waited for you. I love you the same as the first day when you met me, and will always love you. I saw an image of when i was a small child in a grassy field on a warm sunny Texas day.. the first day i spoke to God. and here He was.. same as then. a rock that never changes. the sky changes.. the clouds go past.. the grass grows.. time passes, feeling like an eternity of changes as our life unfolds. but he is an ever constant. it was as if time had no meaning. thats when i finally understood for the very first time in my life.. what unconditional love really was. It doesnt matter that noone else may love me, like me, or forgives me.. God does and thats all that matters. He gave me a scripture. It was Psalm 73.

When I was beleaguered and bitter,
totally consumed by envy,
I was totally ignorant, a dumb ox
in your very presence.
I'm still in your presence,
but you've taken my hand.
You wisely and tenderly lead me,
and then you bless me.

You're all I want in heaven!
You're all I want on earth!
When my skin sags and my bones get brittle,
God is rock-firm and faithful.
Look! Those who left you are falling apart!
Deserters, they'll never be heard from again.
But I'm in the very presence of God—
oh, how refreshing it is!
I've made Lord God my home.
God, I'm telling the world what you do!

Salvation is by GRACE ALONE and is NOT based on HUMAN EFFORT but on God's saving plan and the gracious gift of his Son. - 2tim
