I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see....twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fear relieved. Praise God.
Having a new house, a beautiful wife, and a beautiful daughter, a great paying career, and all the pleasures of this world, I was a defiled, corrupt, wicked sinner on the way to hell, when......God brought me to my end, and called me by my name, plucking me from the miry clay and lifting me into His eternal Kindgom. Glory to God.
My testimony is this. The law was my schoolmaster that brought me to Christ Jesus, and by the law I knew I was a guilty before a Holy and Righteous God, rightfully tdeserving to be eternally judged. On my family room floor one night, about five years ago, I cried out to God Almighty to save me from a life long bondage to sin, and He was faithful. God saved me from my bondage to that thing, but I wasn't born again until a year later. This I can't explain, how and why, alls I know is it happened, and God opened up the Holy Scriptures (KJV) to me and gave me wisdom, descernment, and understanding. Grace, God's amazing grace, and mercy through Christ Jesus our Lord. AMEN
My earthly family has forsaken me, but my LORD and Shepherd of my soul hasn't. I may be reaping from years of sinful living, and rightfully so, but I will still stand for my LORD JESUS CHRIST, who died for me, because of me, and in place of me. AMEN. I live because HE lives, and to die is to gain, but for me to live is apparently more profitable for Him as He works His will out in my life. May His love grow in me, through me, and out of me, as I profess the Lord Jesus Christ to all who will listen, and won't listen, to the praise and glory of His grace, now and forever. AMEN.
Manasseh, this is name I can associate with, because God hath caused me to forget all my toils, and all of my father's house, so that what they meant for evil, God meant for good, including those who have forsaken me. May His mercy abound, and His grace be manifested, in all the hearts, souls, and minds of those who call upon Him with a clean heart, now and forever. AMEN.
