He is always there and loves me

[david_james]

This is my testimony of my journey to and with our Lord. I am going to jump back and forth through time. Let's start at present day.

Being in bed all the time, can't move and have pain and yet I am happy, why? Because I have accepted Jesus as my savior. I know my pain is temperary. As I think about my journey, I think where I would be if I had not accepted Jesus at a young age.

I was 12 and been to church for years and learned about God. One night I just accepted Jesus and felt good, but still had much to learn.

When I was 16 I got really sick. I had tubes in my nose and throat, I wanted to die. I asked God why am I going through this and felt he didn't love me. Soon I got a trach, it was scary for a while but I was thankful for it. A few weeks later I was weaned off the ventilator but a few days later, lungs collapsed. I went back on the ventilator. The doctor thought it was time to let go but I wanted to live. I would need ventilator at night.

Later that year I got an apartment with my brother Josh. I knew for sure God loved me.

When I was 20 I needed more care and needed to be in a hospital. I was sad but God gave me what I need. Everything wasn't good though, since I couldn't get to church, God was put into the background. Around May 2005 (22 at the time) I realized I didn't know God as much anymore and that scared me. I asked God to help me know him and be close to him again. It took a while but now I know him well and I feel him again.

Now I thank him every day for everything he has given me. I thank him for helping me through hard times. I thank him for staying with me. I thank him for his love and mercy.

Thank you David for sharing that. Your gratitude speaks of God's unfailing love. I am so often amazed that it is often those who the World would judge as having the least to be grateful for, are in fact the most grateful, whilst those that have been given so much find it hard to say thank you.
Thank you for your testimony that gives hope, and a challenge, to me.

Mark.
