My story with God
I spent 20 years of my adult life in the Military, pretty much doing all I could to reject the Lord or at least try to ignore Him. I did and saw many terrible things that at the time I paid no attention to. I was at a point in my life where I was spiralling out of control. In an act of desperation I cried out to the only One who could save me, and He was there for me. Jesus has turned my life around. I am not the person I was. Nothing about me is the same.

    I have some good news for you brother;

    Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. 2 Corinthians 5:17

    And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away." Revelations 21:4

    I was just telling a friend that when God has all of our heart, then He will not rehabilitate us, He will change us from the inside out. You see if our heart belongs to God, then the change come from our relationship with Him. Jesus paid for all our sin, past , present, and future. Yes there are consequences that we have to endure some times as a result of our past sin, and I have heard many testimonies of how God has even turned things around in these situations. Get to know God The Father, God The Son, and God The Holy Spirit, These three are one God as revealed in the Word of God.

    My Brother I can hear your heart desire and I know God does also. He who begins a good work will also bring it to completion. Yes God has led you to this site because of the great men and women who are lovers of God and lovers of people that are here. My prayer for you is that even as you are reading these words that God will touch you in a very special way.
    In the love of Jesus

    here's a joke i got from the AAG forum to cheer you up-

    BIGGER TURKEY-
    A woman walks into a butcher's shop just before closing time and asks, "Do you have any turkey?"

    The butcher opens his fridge, takes out his only turkey and puts it on the weighing scales. It weighs six pounds.

    The woman looks at the turkey and at the scales and asks, "Do you have one that's a bit bigger than this one, please?" The butcher puts the turkey back into the fridge and then takes it out again, but this time when he puts it on the scales he keeps his thumb on the turkey. The scales now show eight pounds.

    "That's wonderful," says the woman. "I'll take both of them, please!"

    (Ha ha ha.... gotcha butcher!)
