Isaiah 45:5
King James Version
5 I am the Lord,
and there is none else,
there is no God beside me:
I girded thee,
though thou hast not known me:
Thanks to my Catholic education, I got to know about GOD.
Thanks to GOD making me born again, I got to really know Him.
But that took a gap of many decades in between.
In that gap, I kept searching for His truth.
The Catholic church did not teach me to search Scripture.
GOD making me born again, did.
On the same day itself.
His SPIRIT taught me Scripture each day.
For 40 months now, as of this writing.
Because He knew I was childlike, He regaled me with stories.
Such tall stories that only a childlike heart can understand, accept, and enjoy.
Many question such stories.
But JESUS did say:
Matthew 18:3
King James Version
3 And said,
Verily I say unto you,
Except ye be converted,
and become as little children,
ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
How can you accept GOD, when you're too full of yourself?
How can you love Him, when you love the world?
There are many born again Christians.
But I must say this --
It spells all the difference when GOD converts you Himself.
He searches for that unflinching soul.
The diligent one.
The independent one.
Even the demanding one.
The one that keeps at it, night and day.
Searching for absolute truth.
Not knowing where to find it.
Just when you've given up, GOD shows up.
For He is that ULTIMATE TRUTH.
Just waiting to see, if your heart is true.
