I was raised in a wonderful Southern Baptist Church but when I went off to college I went astray for the next twelve years. Then, out of my depths, I, at last, cried out to God and He heard and answered me. Well, of course, He did! After all, He had been waiting for me; yea, longing for me. In fact, I’m convinced He went through all my hell with me. Because He is God He waited for me. My! my! what a lesson in patience.

During my early years with Jesus my Bible was my pillow every night. Every waking hour that I could I was immersed in Scripture. Within three months I quit my job even though my son was only 6 years of age and I as a single mom had no income except what I earned. However, I had an opportunity to go to missionary school and the Lord blessed our lives. Yes, He sustained us with miracles of love.

I truly believe those who hunger and thrist after Jesus will be satisfied and filled with the Holy Spirit. Forty years later I still love Him but my love has different flavors now.

It is truly a living relationship that we may enjoy with our Heavenly Father which is dynamic and changes like the seasons as well as deepens as we learn to trust and abide.

Does God want us to be babes for our entire Christian life? Of course not! I don’t want my grandson, who is now 4 years of age, to remain a little child his entire life. I realize that no time will be repeated. Every minute is precious with him so I don’t want to waste any of it.

It seems so simple to me that our Creator has given us innumerable signs to reveal truth to us. Jesus is ours and we are His!
