"Whom have I in heaven but You? And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. My flesh and my heart may fail, But God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever." - Psalm 73:25-26
I'm starting this blog to catalogue my personal journey with my Saviour Jesus Christ. Jesus has touched my life in so many ways this year and I find myself reflecting on how reading the Word has intensely affected me in such a short period of time. Despite being a self-proclaimed "born again Christian" for many years, I hadn't been interested in God for a very long time. I saw the benefit of the Church and having a Christian network, but lacked any real relationship with God Himself.
After a number of devastating life events I found myself reeling emotionally and desperately looking for stability and comfort. I sought out motivational podcasts, books and even meditation aids before I timidly inched my way back to church. In January I started a weekly Bible study class at a nearby Dublin church. My intention was to meet nice people and make friends, but I soon found myself being more drawn to the Word itself than the people around me - as friendly as they were. In the months that followed my primary focus shifted from improving my life through positive people to learning who God is and subsequently loving, praising and following Him.
There's an endless amount of things to learn from God and for the first time in my life I'm excited and not anxious about what He's planned for me. If anyone comes across my blog, you are most welcome! I pray that Jesus would use these entries to bless you in some way through my personal experiences with Him.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God." - John 3:16 - 21
