Bible Discussion Thread

So my testimony is a little fantastic to say the least.My life at the start was a normal childhood nothing too extreme just a boy without a dad around and trying to figure out life on my own.At age 9 experimented with weed and let me tell you it is the gateway to everything else to say the least.. After high school began work but would always do good for a while then screw it up somehow by using drugs and failing drug test or wreck a vehicle drinking and driving... I'll just say that I should have died multiple times. Then my grandfather passed away and I inherited a fair amount of money in 2018 and at first a lot of drinking, missing my grandfather, then this one night with my sister I decided to get high with her on some meth and well.. that began an 8 month, just terrible terrible waste of life and money and dignity. I had never been hooked like I was during that time and needless to say many times once again just in those 8 months I should have died or been shot plenty times. It was horrible to say the least. Then after 8 months of it I found myself alone in my grandfathers house indulging myself in some pornography and I hear a voice that says "YOU THINK NO ONE IS WATCHING BUT WE ARE". and I then, broke and threw my phone in a panic and stood up, (thinking all kinds of stuff as you could imagine) then I look into the kitchen and I see a book sitting in the middle of kitchen table and when I walk over to it I see that its my grandfathers Bible which nobody could find at the time of his death. That day changed everything, the lord made me afraid of the drugs I had on me so I threw them away and the lord led me to a time of repenting in a hotel about two hrs away with no phone just me my dog and that bible. After being sober and reading bible an hour a day for about a month, I remember having hope again that life wasn't over and then I heard the Shepards voice inside of me directing me and I obeyed and three days later BOOM FIRE IN MY SOUL! REBORN! Set Free! JESUS

This brings tears to my eyes! Thank you for this. Amazing how God works.

God is truly good and merciful.

Wonderful Matthew, Welcome to the family!
