History

My past is what i consider to be rocky. I have done many things I am ashamed of. I have lived a life that at times was so far away from God. My heart breaks when I dwell on some of the decisions I've made without God's counsel. And the devil is sure to remind me often of those.

In church this week, the pastor spoke of what he called a "lark moment". He told of a young man who was hooked on drugs. His parents asked everyone they knew to pray for him but it seemed like he would never live the life he had once had. He seemed lost. Then one Sunday he called his mother and told her he absolutely must attend church with her. The service was uneventful until the gift of tongues was spoken. The interpretation was given. To paraphrase " Little Bird, return to Me. Little Bird, today you are home....." The young man's name was Lark. He was delivered that day and completely set free from his bondage.

That story reminded me of the many "lark moments" I've had. My Father God has brought me out of so much. He has given me a testimony that shows His grace, mercy and most of all His love for me. And if He can love me, He can love anyone. I am reminded that although I have far to go, He has brought me so far already.

There is a song that says "Oh praise the one who paid my debt, who raised this life up from the dead". Thank you Father for saving me. I am forever grateful for this life that was changed.
