Peace of Christ!
Dear friends, it has been so long since I published anything here. Why could that be?
I will be very simple and direct. Because I allowed life's troubles to draw me away from God.
What do you mean, brother?
I did not leave church or get into all sorts of trouble, but I simply failed to maintain my fellowship with my wonderful God. Time passed and continues passing quickly. When I realized it, I was already in the devil's arms and thought there was no way out. The person who once thought he was a man of God was on the path to perdition. I was not being a good example as a brother, son, friend, and so on.
So what did I do? With great effort, as though I had to climb a mountain to do it, I prayed to the Lord. “God, break me down and create me again, like a vessel in Your hands. Forgive me, O God! Use me to the fullest extent of what You created me to do. Restore me! If I am to live, may I live for Your glory and do Your will.”
Do you know what happened? The last few weeks have been incredible!
Sometimes we forget how great our God is! And how great His mercy, grace, and love are!
GLORY TO GOD!
So, my dear friends, if you are in a situation similar to the one I was in, take heart and trust God!
Ask Him to burn in your heart again! May He light the flame and not allow anyone, even you yourself, to try to put it out!
May God bless you!
Wishing you success!
