Bible Discussion Thread

For six years, I ignored the Lord. I felt too ashamed to come to Him because of what I did in my life. I KNEW that I was on my way to destruction. In that time I never once cursed God.. I never talked badly about Him. I know He is a just God.. it was just all of my self condemnation that kept me away from Him. I thought he was done with me. I thought that he no longer wanted me. I became really addicted to reading romance books. Not just a PG romance book, but literal filth. I got so addicted to them, I would read 5 books a week. I then became pretty popular in the book community and started making book graphics with very graphic pictures of sexual relations with filthy language on them. I knew in the back of my mind that it was wrong, but I just pushed it aside and continued feeding my demons. My husband was on his own walk with the Lord, and he picked up his cross during this time I was doing all of this, and I didn't want to. Because of the condemnation. Well, God had other plans. I started watching my husband read his Bible, going to pray, and wondering how he could just do that. When I would even think about doing it, the condemnation would come so quickly and I physically couldn't get up and do it. One day, I was driving, and the family was with me. We took a street that we normally don't take and on the left hand side, there was a LED sign a business had, and as I passed by, the sign lit up saying GOD SAVES, GOD LOVES YOU. I was the only one who saw the lit up message. It hit me. It felt like it was for me. It was just one of those moments for me. I knew in my heart this was my sign from God after asking him does he want me still? am I done for? After that day, I was able to go pray after six years. I laid it all out to him. Repentance came and the peace of God was on me. Today, I am following Jesus. I LOVE Jesus. I want everybody to know his hand is reaching out to you, all you have to do is put your hand in his. Be blessed in Jesus mighty name!
