GOD DOESN'T CARE

WHERE I WAS

I was the center of my world. Whatever I wanted to do, I did. I believed in “you do you” and didn’t give much thought to how my actions and inactions affected the body of Christ. God was an afterthought to me. I wasn’t sure if He even existed, and if He did, I told myself He didn’t care about me. I hardened my heart to Him because it was too painful to accept that I had been living a life of sin.

HOW GOD ENCOUNTERED ME

My entire life changed. I felt like I was drowning, and all of a sudden I had a lifeboat and a cheerleader encouraging me back to shore. My life had been subsumed in darkness, but once I let God in, everything seemed and felt lighter.

MY LIFE NOW

God showed me that He is a loving, compassionate, forgiving father. He isn’t waiting to condemn or wag His finger at me; He is waiting to lovingly welcome me into His arms and rejoice at my return. Now, I have a purpose in life: to love God and continually draw into deeper relationship with Him. Before, my purpose was to serve my own whims and pleasures. Let me tell you: life is so much richer and meaningful when I’m rooted in Christ instead of rooted in myself.
