Whoa whoa whoa feelings
I am trying to word my thoughts without sounding like I'm bragging. I'm not. It's interesting to me that so many different paths lead us to God. So many different experiences make us who we are. Jesus is the only way to the Father. The ways we eventually make it to Jesus are innumerous. I admire so many people who have such a strong walk with the Lord. The things they have gone through amaze me.
I haven't really been through anything so dramatic as so many people before finding salvation.
I was saved when I was 9 years old. I have never done drugs. I have never been drunk. I am a virgin at 37 years old.
There are people who have been in worlds of drugs and sex and God brought them out of that. Those people have tremendous testimonies. Sometimes I'm jealous of those testimonies. They are powerful and hearing it, brings people to know that Jesus saves!
I have been through my share of things. These experiences although difficult also allow me to talk to people and let them know about a wonderful, beautiful, loving, and merciful God. They are just different.
I have often wondered why God has protected me from so many experiences, especially my virginity. He has intervened miraculously when someone was about to forcibly take it form me. He has stepped in, when I was considering giving it away. There is some important purpose for that in my life. I don't know what it is. I am thrilled that something that special and unique still belongs to me at my age. I don't need any accolades for it. I don't want any accolades for it.
I just wonder why. I mean other people have been in horrible situations and had their virginity stolen from them, God allowed it. Why did he save me from that experience? Why has He kept me intact? One day, maybe I'll know.
Anyway, I admire the people who through Christ have overcome awful things in their lives.
I am blessed.
The reason I write this and why it has been on my mind is because I was recently asked to write a short testimony. I did and I just thought it was so boring. It would never bring anyone to know the Lord. I heard others testimonies and was awed by them. But As I've thought about it, I've realized that my experiences mean something to someone. I have done horrible things in my life. Mostly after I became a Christian. I was still forgiven. Christ's blood covers me. The forgiveness of my jealousy is just as miraculous as the forgiveness of my suicide attempt. One sin is not greater or more evil than another. Every sin cost exactly the same. The cost of every sin is death. Christ paid the price for all of them. All we have to do is ask, and He covers us.
That is so awesome! My testimony isn't so boring as I thought. Maybe I'll write it out in a blog some time. I can't believe I admitted some of the things I admitted in this blog. So now I will be a little braver about my true testimony.
