I can testify to the fact the day I was saved I was more broken at age 20 then I have ever been in my life. There was an event that happened where my sins caused the terrible things that occurred that day and I had been running from God putting Him off for sometime. I came before the Lord in my bedroom as a broken young man with not an ounce of pride left in me as it was my pride that caused all my problems in the first place. I wept, pleaded for mercy and forgiveness of my horrible sins that not only caused myself pain but also the ones I loved most whom I hurt. That evening God gave me a new heart, mind, spirit and I became a new man. I knew Christ had forgiven me, cleaned me and given me a desire to love, obey and please Him. I was not a reader by any means and from that day forward I could not get enough of Gods word, desiring to know Him and study became a daily habit of mine along with prayer, meditation and memorizing scripture. Within a year God restored the broken relationship I had with my girlfriend ( my wife now  ) and she became saved after sharing the gospel with her. She had heard I had changed and it was real so she gave me a chance again. The rest as they say is history. |
