I have finally opened my heart to the message of God. These past few weeks, I have had many revelations about my life and what I thought was abandonment by Him. I was wrong. They were trials and the plan I was raised to believe but could never do so due to self-will and ego. I made myself my higher power. So I am here to re-discover and connect with those who understand, learn and embrace. I am lost and sick, but I see the radiance and feel the warmth of forgiveness as long as I have faith and do the work. This kind of thing (chat rooms) is very out of character for me, but I feel confident and hopeful.
I look forward to getting to know you all and forming lasting and genuine connections.
I am so glad you came. God's ways are above our ways. I can see how God used painful things to bring me to where I needed to be also. Just trust Him. He knows best. God is not some strange entity from far away in space. He is our Father and stands near us, waiting for us to open the door.
Revelation
3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
3:22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
John
3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
3:19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
3:20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
3:21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
To any who are unsure: Just humble yourself before the Lord and ask Him to come in today. He has already done all the rest. You don't have to tell God how to save you. I assure you He already knows how. I assure you He wants to do it right now.
