From someone so far away from our Jesus,to now someone much closer to Jesus am I. It has not as you all can testify to, been easy! In fact, it never was made to be easy. What was easy,was opening the door,but what followed,as we ourselves are to follow,is never easy.

There are always things,people,and places that rise as mountains between us and our Lord. Sometimes one mountain seems to follow another. Just when we believe in our Lord to remove one mountain,another forms even bigger to our eyes.After a while, we just sit, and wonder.

We wonder how such a powerful God in heaven,would allow such things to hurt those of us who are his children? Most all of you have gone through so very much! But in looking back to all of things that made you what you are today,there is something before our eyes,that keeps us faithful.God's Word.

A promise he made to each of us so very long ago.I will never leave you, or ever forsake you. No one was ever forsaken more,or left more alone! For our Jesus could never say this to us,if he himself had never gone through it.

I thank the Lord for all of you. I thank the Lord,for his grace and mercy he has, and is still giving unto me! My hope is this.That Jesus is seen in me!

I am as you,I have both flesh and blood,I make mistakes,I hope in all of my words made unto you all for so long, you do understand,that I understand this. I came here,because God sent me here.And I stay here,because of the great love I have seen from so many of you here.

True we have had our differences as well. But not in respect or love. I struggle even as you all do.But i made a promise to God when I came here,that I would never talk about the many struggles,but rather show solutions through HIM,for them.

Some I have conquered in him, some i have yet to.Just like you all. I never wanted any to look up to me from where they are,but rather look to me from where they are,even as I am with you.I am not above any here.I am as you are.I believe most of you know this,and that again is why I am so thankful to God! We have gathered from many different Countries,from many nations,from many ways of life.All to do one thing.Love the Lord with all of our hearts,and love each other as our own self. Just think!!

To have a place with others I have never met or even seen! And yet come to know you,by your love! I am proud to be with each of you,and I am so thankful for this site,and all of you who have worked so hard,in taking your time!! Just to make anothers mean something! That is true love!

To Chad,and to all the other mods, and to you all,some of which I have come to know pretty well. I pound the Word in every chance I get.I will never stop doing this,because my brothers and sisters,I cannot! God's Word saved me,Jesus saved me,and Jesus in you all helps keep me saved through him!

For everyday here I am reminded of his great love! Love given without cost,even as our Lord did the same for each of us. I am thankful that grace indeed means service!!( 1 Peter 5:1-11!!) We do this, to be examples to the flock!Verse 3 We remain humble because God gives grace to the humble. verse5 And we love because we become perfected in Christ by this love!! verse 10 We are made strong,we are established! We have proper balance!

Thanks to all here,and to my Jesus I serve,for all the wonderful things he not only has done,but will continue to do through all of us who love him so much! Blessing all! 1 Cor 1:4-9!!)
 
Thank you for sharing this bro. I'm very happy to see what GOD is doing in your life. Your a man passionate for the Lord and this is clearly backed up by your actions here in the forums.

All good comes from the Lord alone. I'm grateful for His grace for us all and the awesome transformation the Holy Spirit does in our lives.

Be blessed brother
