Thank God for Mercy

Growing up I was introduced into the Catholic church. Truthfully, I did not learn anything from there and at times it just felt like I was just giving up an hour of my sundays. I had a crush on this boy at school and he was a Christian, so to impress him I went to his church one day. Crazily enough, he was not there but the service that was delivered completely grabbed me and since then I kept returning. I decided to get save but as a freshman in high school I was ashamed of the gospel. I was afraid to show that I was following Christ because people would tease me. By sophomore year I decided to quit the church act and going back to following the ways of the world. It didn’t get me anywhere except in my room crying at night feeling like no one can hear my tears. It is not til my freshman year of college that I heard the call and it was the strongest call ever. I was sitting on my bed on campus and I was crying and upset about my friend dating my ex boyfriend, and its like a sudden thought bursted in my head saying “I love you, and I would no hurt you” and I decided to ignore it believing it is my mind. But that voice felt so strong that I immediately texted my close friends telling them that I was going back home to Christ. It has been almost four months of that experience. I have grown dramatically. I hav deleted all of my secular music and find great entertainment in listen to Lecrae, Flame, Trip Lee, Tedashii, and Sho Baraka, as well as other Gospel artist. I have stopped swearing and I have stopped going to parties and drinking. I have come a long way but there is soo much more to be done. I read my bible daily and continue to search for answers. I just pray that Christ can strengthen me and guide me to be like him more and more everyday. It breaks my heart to see our world falling and I pray that God had a purpose in me to help to have our world redeemed.
