I can still remember so clearly the state of mind I was in not more tha ten years ago. When I see the person I am today verses the person I was when seperated from God's Grace I see two different people, one lived in the moment with no hope of better things to come. I had very low self-esteem to a point I just stopped trying in achive anything worth while. Drugs became my release and escape from the true reality that I was out of control. I seen nothing good in where my life was heading and felt powerless to change. I hated the person I had become.
The person I see today when I look in the mirror loves life, loves himself. Before we can truly love others we must first learn to love ourselves. Back then I hadn't completed anything, in fact I dropped out of High School after my freshmen year and fell into the habit of quiting everything after that I set out to achive. Today I am a author of two books, an artist, and recently I just brought an electric keyboard and coming alone pretty good I teaching myself to play. I may never become good enough to play in a band but the point is in Christ I'm no longer afraid to learn new things with the determination to suceed. Until I opened up myself to allow God in life had no meaning, I was just going through the motions, back then I was just a shall of what God created me to be. Today I am More that a Conqueror who welcomes new challanges with motivation and determination.
Through Christ Jesus I have been healed and set free and this saving grace is not just limited to some but to all who will come to the Father desiring to draw closer to Him who loves us more than we can ever imagine. Let us search ourselves to find that desire that is in all of us.
