There's just so much love flowing through me. It makes me smile and sometimes laugh, just knowing it's there. I got it from God. The more I seek out God's word, praise Him and pray to Him, I am filled beyond measure with sweetness. It hasn't always been this way, though.
I started out, before I surrendered, as a girl only out to get what she needed, or so I thought. I found myself never being satisfied and always needing more and more of things I couldn't afford to get. I was completely lost.
I didn't surrender completely, at first, either. When I first "gave my heart to God", I let down a load of my burdens, but insisted to carry another load I had no idea I still had. I left God several times. I even took a year "break" from church to find out what I needed to do.
Out of a prayer came an answer. I took a chance and found a new church, not by accident, or coincidence, but by the will of God. It's been two years, and I surrendered, completely only after the first week there. I felt the last burden of baggage leave me. I submerged myself with all that I could, so I could keep myself on track.
Last year, I could see myself growing more and more with my faith, love and understanding. I do all I can, now to keep myself humble, serving and loving God. How? All I do is love everyone I talk to. I give hugs, have conversations, listen, and pray for those I feel need the prayers. I praise God, everyday, because He's so wonderful! I thank Him for my everyday and for all He's brought me through. It doesn't matter my circumstances, God never changes, and He loves me, still. I was a dirty, rotten, messed up lady. I used to be, but now, I am so thankful, He took me into His arms and forgave me.
I ask forgiveness everyday, because I'm not perfect. I hope everyone knows that. I'm not a very quiet person, either. I laugh more at myself than anyone else, because of how rediculous things I do are.
I am who I am, because God made me that way. I am so thankful that God made us for His purpose. That puts it all into perspective, for me. No matter what I go through or what comes against me, He's always watching, and I trust that. I'll never stop working for Him. I will do my best to give Him honor and glory and praise Him in the morning, noon and night. He is worthy of all praise!
I hope and pray that through me, more people can accept Jesus into their hearts, knowing, it doesn't matter what place you're in, or how many "bad" things you've done, God loves you, and He's waiting for You to say, "Yes!"
It's not easy, and the responsibility of taking care of yourself is hard, too. The thing is, we all gotta start somewhere, and sometime. Why not now?
