It's time to brag on God a bit

Within my five years of knowing Jesus Christ he has,

-Delivered me from drugs (meth, weed, pills, cocaine) and alcohol.

-Delivered me from depression.

-Gave me a specific and dynamic purpose for my life.

-Allowed me to know who I truly am (gave me my identity)

-Given me grace to continue my education up to a senior in college when I dropped out in the fifth grade.

-Through me, brought my immediate family into relationship with himself and some of my remote family.

-Delivered my mother and father from smoking.

-Gave me a beautiful wife.

-Showed me the frailness of human life, but the strength of his presence which is life itself.

-Allowed me to testify about him in front of the poor, the rich, and the middle class.

-Is letting me breathe right now.

He can do all of this and more for you. If you are doubtful have faith, it is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen. You may have not seen any of these listed happen in your life, but it takes foresight to see the present and shape the world that you want.

A friend once told me if you don't like the world you are living in, change it. Change for the better can only come, however, through faith in Jesus Christ.
