God has had His Hand upon my life from the very beginning. I don’t know if it was the habit instilled in me by my parents or a natural desire or God’s calling, but I have had an interest in knowing God from the time I was young.

I remember in Boy Scouts that I was appointed the troop’s chaplain although I had no formal training in religious affairs or direct relationship with God.  I just had a desire to know God, although I didn’t know Him.

Over the past 30 plus years since my personal acceptance of Christ as my Savior, I have learned wisdom and temperance along with my zeal for the Word.  I have gone through many circumstances.  I have seen many come and go.  But the greatest thing that I have learned is that regardless of others around you, regardless of circumstances and situations, and regardless of your current mood, God’s Word is always the same, yesterday, today, and forever.  Nothing matters, only God’s Word matters.  Base everything on His Word and you will have a firm foundation.

Today, I enjoy my walk with Christ.  I wish I could say that it is always up and always intimate, but that would not be true.  Fortunately, I know that He sticks closer than a brother, that He is always there, and even when I am more aloof than close, He is still there.  But most importantly, I know in Whom I have trusted. 

If you don’t know that freedom and you have looked for it, you can stop looking now.  Jesus Christ is the Truth.  There simply ain’t no other.  While you might not believe it or believe that God exists or believe that Jesus is the Christ, the only begotten Son of the Father, He still believes in you, died for you and rose from the dead to show His power over death. 

It is all about what Christ did for you.  Period.
