Hi everyone!

I know that some people here claim to be Christians since childhood.
For me, when I look back on my last 39 years, I see something: that God has been guiding me ever since He put me in my mother's womb!!

How funny we are sometimes... thinking that we must "find God" or "know God," when He has always been with us, guiding us and holding us through thick and thin!! He knows us so much better than we "know" Him!!!!

Just a thought..

blessings to ALL!
brian

It also doesn't matter when we're ready to take His hand as He will wait for us to complete whatever it is that we are going through at the moment. Still loving us no matter how dark or light we may be.

God’s love is always with us. In our darkest moments when we are doubled over in pain or grief, God’s love is over us, under us, within us and all around us.

Even when we do not sense His love, His love is still with us. Because God is so much with us regardless of our circumstances, we can find His comfort at any time in any place. When you need God’s love the most, He is with you. When you think you can handle all things on your own, He is with you knowing there will come a time when your ego is deflated and you will need Him more than ever.

We can let our sin come between us and God. However, God does not forsake us. God is always telling us to always turn to Him, always trust in Him, always believe in Him, and always have faith in Him…all because He always loves us. Although we cannot always express our love for Him, His love remains.

Although we selfishly set conditions upon God’s love for us, God always loves us unconditionally. Although we have spots and blemishes in our sin, God loves us in spite of our spots and blemishes. Although we do not always give God the praise and honor He deserves, He loves us in spite of our selfishness.

Although we think we have power, God still loves us even when He knows we are small and weak. Although we have burdens and needs interfering with God’s love in us, His love always remains with us. Although our words are feeble when we talk with Him in prayer, He is always able to read our hearts in spite of our feeble words…because He always loves us and His love is always with us.

You've been a blessing to me by writing those words. I needed to read them today!
