Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now I’m found. Was blind, but now I see.
John Newton
Yes, God’s grace is amazing. I know this truth—because I once was blind to it. For the first three decades of my life, I searched for soul satisfaction in ways that left me emptier and more lost. But God kept pursuing me. And by His amazing grace (favor given but not deserved), I was made new. Forgiven and free, I began walking the narrow path with Jesus, getting to know Him through His Word (the Bible), some solid teachers, and sweet fellowship with other believers.
But it’s been the past 20 years of challenges, trials, and hardships—as a Christian—that have proven time and time and time again just how amazing God’s grace is. Through it all—crushing pain, immeasurable joy, devastating loss, ongoing uncertainty—He has been blessing me, changing me, growing me…making me more like Him as I move toward my ultimate Home.
This blog is my response to Who He is and what He’s done (as opposed to who I am or anything I’ve done). So, I pray that my writing illuminates the Truth of Jesus Christ and gives Him glory, captivates you with God’s amazing grace, and encourages you to discover hope and joy for your journey.
