AM I WORTHY OF GOD’S LOVE

I FOUND THE LORD

I remember going to bible school and church when I was very young. I gave my

life to the Lord when I was 13. I FELT His presence and His love. Through my

youth and my teen years, I always believed but was not actually active. Went to

several different churches and learned the basics of Christianity and heard all the

stories, but don’t think I actually understood, just knew the feeling.

LORD, I GIVE MYSELF TO YOU

My husband and I were married, at the age of 18, in a church and said our vows

that we would never part under God’s blessings. We joined a church and got

baptized. We were so happy. Then he got drafted. Things were rough those

two years, but rougher when he got out. We had grown apart and also had lost

contact with God. We divorced and went our separate ways.

LORD, I’M NOT WORTHY

I struggled with the idea that I had gotten married and believed in my vows to

God and my husband, but I got a divorce anyway. I felt I had betrayed both, even

though it was not my decision completely. I retained my faith and totally believed

that God was my savior, but I didn’t believe I was worthy of his love. I went

through many years doing my own thing and never really finding happiness and

fulfillment.

GOD’S BLESSINGS FOR AN UNWORTHY SOLE

Although I felt unworthy, God never left me. His love was undeniable. From

recovering from a crippling disease in my young adulthood to blessing me with

two wonderful sons. Although I prayed for a daughter, He in His wisdom gave me

sons. We had turbulent times, but we survived as a family and am blessed by

having them and their families in my life.

RETURN OF THE WAYWARD “DAUGHTER”

Although I was stubborn, God never gave up on me. He kept “knocking” at my

door. He placed people in my life to challenge me, to help me and to bring me

back to HIM. In my older years, I found out that God loves us all and none of us is

“worthy” of His love, but His Grace is forgiving and He wants to put His loving

arms around us.

BLESSINGS AND CHALLENGES FOR THE BELIEVER

God has so blessed me with a marriage to a man who took care of a disabled

grandson. We laugh as we say it had to be God that put us together, because by

all odds, we should have gone our separate ways after a year. We have been

together ten years and have a stronger marriage under the watchful eye of our Savior.

GOD’S MISSION

I have often questioned what my “purpose” was in life and what was the mission

that God wanted me to fulfill. I now realize that all the tests and trials and

blessings He has given me have brought me to this place. Under God’s watchful

eye, I want to help others who are struggling in their life. I pray that this is what God wants.
