Sin, Sorrows, Savior

Because of the assurance of eternal life I have peace knowing the trials I am facing here are only short term. This gives me inner peace. I also can feel the hand of God always with me, even when or after I mess up. God is there to forgive and support me.

Raised as a Christian, thought I was a Christian, relied on God to get me through College. but ultimately I was self reliant, capable of working hard and controlling my own destiny. Or so I thought. Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering from a Big Ten University, MBA degree also. Great job at a big three automotive company .....had it all under control. 1st Marriage, didn't let God in to the choice of spouse. Jesus was at the door knocking, but I wouldn't open it. Two kids, one child born with special needs (epilepsy) . A lifelong condition. Failed marriage . Layed off from my job due to downsizing after 28 years. 2nd marriage failed after 6 years. During the deterioration of 2nd marriage, I started to really hear Gods calling and seek him for comfort. I started to look at my life as a whole and see how the sin has accumlated . See all my failures. A lot of Guilt resulted. I felt pulled to get closer to God. as a Deer panteth........

As God restored Job after he lost everything God has done amazing things in restoring what I've lost . What the devil has taken away through my Sin. From finances, to family relationships, Job, and Peace. . God has been there to forgive me to restore my soul. The bible speaks to me more than ever now a days. I have confidence that God will be my protector, savior, friend going forward. I find it important to not watch Tv programs, movies, that take me back to the old ways. The way the worldy culture is. While I still have tempation I choose to seek Jesus.
