Changes were not made because any one person told you to, or because you came to any huge changes in yourself in one monumental moment, it was over time and through what sounds like a lot of bad decisions. I too have been there, many bad decisions and YEARS of living in the wrong just because it felt good. Funny how age and maturity has a way of bringing a person around. We all have excuses for the weak that exists in us.....and we all hope the strong prevails, but until we grow enough in years, in maturity and spirituality we don't always know where that strength comes from. Many times, even still today, I need reminded of God's love and God's purpose for my life, and those gentle reminders make all of my strength's shine. I am very thankful that I can recognize the call of the Lord and that I have reached a place in my life where I trust that I am loved regardless, I no longer blame God for all that I didn't have, or all that was taken away, I thank him for everything that has made me who I am today. It's been a long hard haul to get here, and although I was told when I was 20 about the way things were and the way I should be, and the things I should pursue and be concerned with, it wasn't until I lived and searched and made all of my mistakes and overcame all of losses that I am where I should be, or at least close to it. It's only after being loved so much through all of my terrible moments, unconditionally, that I am finally at a point where I feel as if I deserve the love that I've been given all along, and strive to return that love through actions that are pure and good. May God bless all the young stupid youth this Christmas and let them know they are loved unconditionally, and that have a place no matter how many mistakes they make, for we can all return home when we ask.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
