This Is My Story, This Is My Song

Kicking and screaming, I would not go!  The one thing I rejected and ran from was, in fact, the same thing that could and would help me.  Growing up with a father who was emotionally and physically absent, I learned to feel and think I was unworthy; therefore, unaccepted.  I attempted to compensate by becoming a follower, and I even learned to mask and cover my feelings with drugs and alcohol.

One day while being at the end of myself, a man had come into my life and talked with me and me with Him.  This talk had really penetrated the most inner depths of my heart.  It was, is, and always will be an interaction I will never forget.  The encounter was with the most loving and compassionate man I know.  His name is Jesus.

I have learned to grow in His amazing love.  He has transformed my mind and softened my heart, and He still continues to do so.  He allowed me to clearly see the lies I was living and how they were destroying my life.

His truth is loving and everlasting today and forevermore.  Knowing my position and identity in Him has given me great hope in this life and the one still to come.  His Word has been life to my bones and a light in dark places.  He reached in and touched my soul at a time when I was so overwhelmed and in bondage to sin.  He gave me peace; and today, He is by my side and will always remain so faithful and true.  By daily leaning on Him, He shows and teaches me things as a father does to his son.  I am His and He is mine.

Won’t you make Him yours today?
