As recently as 2 weeks ago I was having a very difficult time dealing with the options I have been presented with for my spiritual journey. I have long felt there was something 'seriously missing' from church. After being told that I wasn't good enough to ever be saved, it nearly seemed pointless to try. After attending church all of my life, and recently relocating it's nearly impossible to find somewhere that I feel like I belong. The church that I found here in Clarksville is very laid back on their beliefs (after attending numerous churches in the area). Every Sunday after service I would leave not feeling inspired or that I had moved any closer to God in my journey. I was in nearly a desperate need for an uplifting message, a message of hope!
I found bible-truths unintentionally 6 days ago. As soon as I began reading I felt the weight of the world was lifted off of my shoulders. I knew in my heart what I was reading was on the right track. What a glorious revelation that ALL MEN WILL BE SAVED! I have been lighthearted, on top of the world. I realize there is no need to worry about anything!!! God has it all taken care of and I have no control whatsoever! And it doesn't matter because I am in the care of the greatest! I have systemic lupus (terminal form). I have never blamed God for my illness or been angry at Him. I have heard many people 'blame' God for their loss or their illness. But, it's always been in my heart and mind that there is a reason for everything.
I am so very elated and blessed to have found this place. I am very thankful for Mr Smith sharing the honest scriptures that is God's Word! My life has changed, my attitude has changed. I will continue to read every day and enrich my journey as much as I possibly can growing closer to Christ.
One last note I would like to share is that since I found bible-truths I have shared these writings with my family as well as friends. No one that I have shared these with (with exception of my husband) is of like mind, nor do they believe it. It saddens me that such a wonderful gift, they refuse to receive. But, just like all things God has it taken care of and I will leave it in His hands.
Wishing you all a very blessed journey!! Thank you for allowing me to share a brief bit of mine. I have read several prayer requests and I will continue to pray for all of my newly discovered friends in Christ!
God Bless!
