“From Darkness to Light” ~Ephesians 5:8 …chapter 3
After graduation form college I was involved in a sinful relationship, but I still thought that I could be a spiritual person, but by this time in my life’s journey I did not believe that I was born a sinner and was confused about my need for Christ’s salvation. I had read something that said that humanity was good by nature, I was willing to believe a lie because my thinking was darkened by bitterness, anger and desire for control. When Christ finally got a hold of me it was miracle to be washed of all this. When I accepted that Christ died for me in my mess I was restored and began a process towards healing; releasing my past to him and accepting day by day the future that he holds for me.
Even though I had run from God; turned my back on him and said with my actions I didn’t need him. He still pursued me and sought to bring me back to him. I now know just how much God loves me because of this. That is something no one can take away. I am eternally his. I’m not perfect, but I’m being perfected in the image of Christ. So when I face trials instead of reaching for despair I have hope in Christ that he will see me through in joy. I have abundant life in Christ. I don’t have to depend on my strength, Jesus Christ’s strength what he did on the Cross to take my sins is powerful enought to carry me through. I know that Christ now lives and has gone to prepare a place for me to join him one day. So now I walk according to the spirit…not the flesh. Jesus is alive and well in me and he promised never to leave or forsake me! Hallalujah is now my favorite praise to God.
