The day of deliverance!

Like Saul of Tarsus, I was ignorant, spiritually blind & lost. Perishing for lack of knowing God, his love, grace & mercy. Practiced conformity for so long that I had become perfect at what I had practiced. I was perfect in everything I did but Good. Was never satisfied with where I was in my life in spite of what I had. Had no peace, joy, or happiness. Always feeling that there was something missing from my life & even though God tried to show me through people He placed in my life & through events & circumstances in my life, I was by then so distracted, because I had no personal much less intimate relationship with my created who I had no knowledge loved me unconditionally in spite of my life style, my short comings or my sins. That his call to me was to come as I was to the I am that I am. I am able to wash you, cleanse you, fix you, deliver you & remake you, I was on the wrong road leading to no where doing the wrong things, not knowing Christ was the way. Journeying on death highways knocking on the devil's door. At thirteen, contemplated suicide. At fifteen, I was in a gang. At sixteen I was using drugs, selling drugs, drinking, partying, Had been shot in the head, dying a peace at a time, a day at a time. But grace, saving grace, hope of glory, prince of peace, Lion of Juda, Lamb of God, the way, I am that I am, came to save me, rescue me, redeem me, resurrected me. Until my time & my season came & God intercepted me, encountered me, arrested me, took me to trial, was my defense attorney & my judge. He was merciful to me, compassionate to me, loving to me & gave me a peace that passed all my understanding. He showed me that He was the way, the truth & the light. I had a choice to make. The old way or the new way. The old me or the new me. I chose the new way & a new me. My life has never been the same. How about you. Will you choose? The old way or the new way? The old you or the new you? Today is the day of Salvation. Tomorrow is promised to none of us. Blessed be the name of the Lord. To Him be all the glory!
