Hello there, this is my short introduction as to who I am (since I feel I should get to know everyone here! )
I was a longtime member of a Greek Orthodox church (in my short life of 19 years I consider 13-14 years a long time to be apart of a community) and had the most difficult time accepting God through their(my previous church's) teachings.
It just didn't make sense, how a God so fair and loving could hate and condemn so many people...
My older brother was fortunate enough to be directed to this site by none other than God, and I by my older brother (through God of course!)
I just wanted to say I have found love again, I have never been so at peace with everything so in love with life it is amazing!
Sometimes I feel as if I am being given way to much! I can't stop smiling at, thinking about, or talking to God, He has taken over everything I do. I am not alone anymore, nor will I ever be, sometimes God overwhelms me so much I feel like I can see him around me (though I can't see the spirit, its like He is filling the space around me!)
I hope it is okay for me to feel this way, I pray that this is what God's spirit inside me should feel like. My life has been completely turned around, from despair and anguish to hope and love. I have overcome several addictions in such a short period of time I am thoroughly impressed with His power!
I can't say my thanks enough or praise God enough for the changes that have recently occurred in my life, i am A BRAND NEW MAN!
God bless each and every one of you who have helped bring this change about me. Mr. Smith, God has surely sent you into my life as an angel, and I have recently learned of your condition, you are and will always be in my prayers. My debt to you is unmeasurable.
Much love,
George
