What I Have Faith God Has Shown Me About My Nature

[Mozart's Starling]

My life has been an odd one with its own unique struggles, as has all the Lord's followers have been. What I have faith the Lord has revealed to me is that I have allowed myself to wallow in the most dangerous sin of all, the chief sin of Satan, pride. I am under the current impression that I am a particularly clever and imagantive starling, with a strong capacity for emotion. Through my self pity, and denial of the obvious ( God exists, I am a former atheist) I let Satan into my heart. I allowed him for me to indulge in the worst things I coule possibly due for my particular soul. Alcoholism is a primary example and unnecessary if totally legal drugs. Through a combination of that God turned Satan's tools against him and put me in a state to finally listen to Jesus. Back in 2012 I had a mental break that put me in a psychiatric hospital. Through things I experienced I could finally open my mind to the boundless possibilities and question everything I thought I knew. I wound up putting my faith in those God had put on this Earth to guide me for the first time and it saved me. Still 4 years post 2012 I have struggled and continued to battle my prideful nature, but yesterday an amazing thing happened, I began to hear God's voice loud and clear. All it took was a single prayer just moments before to see the immediate results. He loves me. He loves you. He loves all of us. Do not let Satan make you doubt that.

We all have similar stories. Wake up each day - every single day, not letting one go by - and give thanks to God. I promise, if you keep Him in your forethought, in your mind constantly, He will not let you drift away.

Pride took me away, when I took my eyes off Him. Sin took me low, deep down past the point I had ever been. His grace called me while I was there, and brought me back again to Him - in whose life I share.
