RE: Open Church: Introduce yourself and share your faith journey - all are welcome

in #christian-trail7 years ago (edited)

My faith journey began on June 8, 1978 when I was given my first Bible just before turning eight. After starting in the book of Isaiah, and reading up through Matthew's gospel, I put it away because I didn't get the point that God was intending to communicate by having it written. Sure, I could have asked a variety of people, and all their answers could have been correct, but since they didn't write it, their answers wouldn't have had the same effect. Then, in 1992, the circumstances of life showed me that I didn't have the truth, and that I needed to know it. That prompted me to read the entire Bible. I continued to do that until October 25, 2012 when my faith journey was consummated into the reality of who I am in relationship to who God is.

It took you a long time to come into the right relationship with God but what is so encouraging is that God doesn't give up on us. He just keeps on working in our lives, His Spirit keeps on speaking into our hearts. How wonderful and faithful is He, praise His Name!

What took so long revolved around the process of unlearning all the things about life, and God that simply are not true.

Thanks for sharing brother.
