Your Life-Altering Moments

I was far from God, and yet I knew deep within my soul that my heavenly Father was waiting patiently for me to come home. In the early morning I cried out to God and acknowledged my sin and the fact that I was far from him. In a moment, a verse from 1 John flashed into my mind: "If we confess our sin He is faithful and just to forgive us our sin and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

In my hopeless condition I reached out by faith and said, "I rest my all upon your promise, I confess my sin, please give me peace within and let me know that I am yours. Please heavenly Father take my life and change me in a way to please thee." It was at that moment that I was given peace within and the power to break the power of sin in my life. God by his grace has guided us into the paths of righteousness and given assurance that I belong to him.
