The Start

I have not always had the faith I now have in our Lord and saviour. I have always believed in God even though I am a man of science. It's just I have found it extremely difficult to understand why He has let the things that have happened, happen.

I wouldn't say I am or have been a bad person but looking back and knowing what I know now, I can see there have been many a time when I could have handled situations better or even avoided them completely.

I have grown both physically, mentally and spiritually since. The verse below explains how I was and now am perfectly.
"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things." - 1 Corinthians 13:11 KJV
I have not been saved long. It was only on the 30th of December 2011 I asked our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ for forgiveness, at the age of twenty four. It took someone really special to save me and I am forever thankful that He sent her into my life.

God is all around us, all we need to do is open our eyes, ears and heart.

His words have the the knowledge, the wisdom to help us in every situation we face. Each and every verse has a message, a meaning that He wants us to know. These messages can be applied to all areas of our life, we need only take time to understand what has been said rather than read it like an ordinary book.

I use the word ordinary for the Bible is not an 'ordinary' book. Take a moment to sit back and remember all the high's and lows, all the pain, the happiness, everything that you can possibly remember that has defined you as person.

Ask yourself this, 'How many times have you wished for an answer, or guidance?'.
There is guidance and answers for all situations through His words, all you need to do is take the time to read.

I implore you to humble yourself as He humbled Himself by dying on the cross for our sins. As you can see below His words mention both of these things, we need only seek Him!

"For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted." - Luke 14:11
"And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." - Philippians 2:8 KJV
God is love and He is ALWAYS with you!!!
