Many summers ago in July, I met the Messiah and connected with His Father personally…verbally. He gave me a 24/7 companion that rocked my world. I’d been unconditionally forgiven, and forever accepted as His own.
Life before seems a blur. In those 11 years I remember daily anger, desperately wanting to be heard in a family of 6. I wanted “my way” and “my turn.” I was also confused and frustrated with reading, writing, spelling. Why did it come so easy to everyone else?
Then God made Himself known to me and out went paralyzing fear of the dark, storms, -ugly tantrums, migraines and my struggle with dyslexia. The Holy Spirit was working in my life and Jesus was ready to listen any time. Could it get any better?
God’s Word began to reveal mysteries that enlightened, emboldened, and equipped me for whatever came up. I loved every verse recorded about His faithfulness and unfailing love. The more I read, the more peace flooded in.
All these years later, I can hardly list a greater gift He’s given than Himself! Yet His daily blessings are more than can be counted. Sigh – This IS “abundant life” in the “land of the living.” I would choose Him 1000 times again!
Happy birth-day to me ❤️❤️❤️
