God is truly amazing and I feel sorry for the people who don’t know Him. Where else do we get such unconditional love and forgiveness? Not from each other… We’re pitiful beings who would sell ourselves for the right price and don’t deserve anything from God, but yet here He is. Giving us the gift of life with HIS.
There’s nothing else like it. We don’t deserve it, but yet it was given to us freely as a gift so that we might live and have eternal life. For the longest time I didn’t want that gift. I refused to accept it and wouldn’t let God’s grace and forgiveness surround me. This was because I didn’t forgive myself for my transgressions and didn’t consider myself worthy. But I was missing the point. I’m NOT worthy, not ever but yet God has given us this gift. Yes, it’s ours to accept or not, but if we want it, it’s there for the taking and life is GOOD when you accept that gift.
So today I will be thanking God for the gift He gave me. For the new life He’s offered and remembering that He loves me no matter what I do. Yep, there’s those times He’s wondering what the heck I AM doing, but He loves me anyway and is just waiting for me to jump back into His arms and follow His plan again. God is GOOD. Thank you God for everything you’ve given me. I don’t deserve it, but I need it. So thank you.

I know exactly what you mean, for the longest time I rejected Jesus, thinking it wasn’t worth it to tell you the truth I loved my sin however I just one day gave my life to Christ… WAS THE GREATEST THING I EVER DID. Don’t know if you thought about this charlie or you have done it already but perhaps you should have a section on your site for those who want to get born again, from reading your posts they can see where real we just try not to sin.

Well, I’m not sure I’m qualified for that sort of thing but… Have you ever visited my Dad’s website? It ROCKS! http://www.anotherthink.com
I think it’s a great place for just what you’re talking about…
