It took too long

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

It took too long to get to a place where I can say I’m following Jesus.

  • Going to church didn’t make me born again
  • Giving to the church didn’t make me born again
  • Teaching Sunday school didn’t make me born again.
  • Teaching christian school didn’t make me born again
  • Reading the bible for fifteen minutes didn’t make me born again
  • Memorizing scripture didn’t make me born again

On the outside I looked very religious, but my nature didn’t change. I was a religious sinner.

It took a lot for my life to cry out to God and ask Him to take the reins because I had come to the conclusion.
That he, on the throne of my life was better than me on the throne of my life.

That’s when things changed, but I wish it had been earlier in life.  I know now that Jesus is the way and the truth and the life. He’s not lying when He says He gives life abundantly.

I’m a child of God who has found joy and peace in Jesus, the King of the universe. He alone is worthy of all praise and glory. I’m a bivocational pastor and vegan who crochets and talks all things Jesus.
