From Disgrace to Grace: How Jesus Touched My Life

It was a dark time in my life where I was doing things wrong by stealing, cheating, and living a life full of sin. Not knowing that there were consequences to my actions. Living in a world that is fallen and evil to the core. I was suddenly lost and without hope and didn't know which way to turn. Prayers weren't being heard, and life was spinning out of control. One thing after another was coming at me. I was brought to my knees, and I found myself broken. The shame was unbearable and too much for me to bear. I prayed to the Lord, and nothing happened. I found myself crying for mercy to the Lord and begging for his forgiveness. I didn't know how I was going to get through this painful part in my life. As my cry entered the Lord's ears, he had answered me, and he told me that he has forgiven me and his peace he leaves with me. The peace he gave me was not of this world. He told me to serve him and not sin. He told me to walk uprightly before him and to always acknowledge his son, Jesus Christ, the savior of the world. The day the Lord touched me was the greatest day of my life. I suddenly had regrets, wishing I had known the Lord sooner in my life. The Lord is so good and merciful. If I had only given him my life sooner, I thought, and then he reminded me that I wouldn't have the testimony I have today if I would've known him sooner. God has perfect timing, and he is always on time. Those who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Wait patiently upon the Lord, and he will place you upon the rock of salvation, and that is Jesus Christ.
