When I was three years old I fell into a pool and was under water for ten minutes. My father found me and pulled me out. I was dead. Without losing hope my father gave me CPR and brought me back to life. What could have been the end was only beginning. My father saved me.
Twenty years later in 2003 I came to understand the reality of Christ in my life and then my father passed away. A couple months later my anger took over and I did everything I could to disobey one and only God. Being spiritually dead drowning in a pool of life, I came to Christ Fellowship and God pulled me and began to perform CPR.
Breathe one he provided the way for me to go on a missions trip to the Bahamas. Breath two opening the bible for the first time in my life, these were the words I read, I am the way the truth and the life and on one comes to the father but by me. If you had really known me you would know who my father is. From now on you do know him and seen him! These were the first verses I ever memorized and they ring true in my life still.
Breathe three my final surrender. I gave my heart fully and completely to God being baptized on my physical birthday, my life has been resurrected in him. Romans 6:4 say for we died and buried with Christ by baptism. And just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glorious power of the father now we may live new lives.
I now know why God has me here and calls me his son. My heavenly father saved me.
According to Psalm 68:5 I am fatherless no more! God’s promise to be father to the fatherless has truly filled the void in my life and has brought for death to life. It’s nothing but the blood of Jesus Christ that I am alive.
