The turning point in my life was in 2009-2010. After my husbands illness, I looked for other solutions for the meaning of life. Baptized into Catholicism, I stopped going to church. Even though I still prayed, I was lost. New age was my new thing. But it neither satisfied or answered the questions I was searching for. The vague spirituality of consciousness, oneness was severely lacking.
My daughter had been inviting me to attend church with her and I finally did. And wouldnt you know it, Jesus met me there. On Eagles Wings… my all time favorite song was what they sang. My tears flowed freely and I knew Jesus had called me home. There I encountered Jesus. Again.
Ah, but what I learned!
I learned that He loves me no matter what. I learned my salvation is a gracious, undeserved gift given from God and only comes from believing in Jesus Christ. I believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins and is the bridge to the Father. He rose again on the third day in fulfillment of the scriptures. He is my redeemer. This is the good news.
The separation I had felt from the Father vanished. What was lacking was my relationship with Jesus. My belief that I wasnt enough. My belief that I needed to do more.
I had learned so many things the wrong way yet its all so simple. It starts with believing and everything else just falls into place.
Since then, I have continued learning and growing. I dont profess to have all the answers because I dont and I know I never will. What I do know is that because I have repented from my sins, and accepted Jesus Christ into my heart, I will never be separated from the love of God. I am His confidant daughter and have eternal life with Him.
