MY HEART IS OPENED TO THE BOOK OF JOHN.

WARS and rumors of wars on and on and on.Greed on one hand,government control and the government dole on the other hand. Trouble trouble trouble. What is a man to do?As a young kid about 12,my uncle knew i had insecurity about being loved and where to live.Raised in an alcoholic home and running away at the age of 15. Back that up! My uncle would sit with me and talk,and he read me JOHN CHAPTER 14. WOW. do not let your heart be troubled.My next blog will describe in more detail.Immediately following this i on my own visited a church just up the street where my uncle had once attended.I listened to people,testify. Some talking of burdens on their hearts,and battles they were in. They spoke of the victory Christ had given them.Oh my!I wasn't ready to be public,so i heard scripture read about doing alms in secret. How you can pray to the Heavenly Father in secret and he will reward you in the open.I went and prayed by the toilet(with the lid down)Ask God to save me in the name of Jesus Christ.Just in case he did not i'd have and out.You know what i mean.Suddenly i felt a need to declare my salvation openly. So i began to preach.Soon my uncle was so shocked he began to take me around to various church members and let them hear this transformation in this kid. I must say,it was not difficult to just start spouting Jesus.Was not long,old real life of growing up set in.My Bible in my hand and the HOLY SPIRIT IN MY HEART,OUT OF MY MOUTH CAME THE WORDS.That was 1965.I must confess the 14th chapter of John has held a special place in my heart.I know now that i did not understand completely what it mean't but i knew i believed whatever it said.So now i would like to quote it some 50 plus years later.I will do this in my next blog.I thank my uncle for leading me to Christ.For taking time to be aware of my fears and needs.He has been gone since 1970. In 1977 i named my oldest and first child after him.I never want this act of love to be ever ever forgotten. So i pass it down to my children,and hopefully them to their children.I am a grandfather now,yet i feel the Lord reminding me.....WAYNE SON,I STILL REMEMBER! Nothing can take that from me.The blessings and grace bestowed upon me,i can never repay to Christ.Its all about Jesus and not about me.Millions of young people out there today,are in need of this kind of help and knowledge. The world gets worse and worse,yet the love and protection of JESUS CHRIST my Lord stays forever the same.I shutter and stir in my soul,when i hear or read words such as 'YOU HEARD ME TELL YOU' words of Jesus to all of us,i realize how much i love him.So i will exit and begin to read some of the 14th chapter of the book of John.
