This then is my testimony; I sat in
my living room at home with many unanswered questions and it wasn’t until I
found myself accepting what the bible taught on face value that I was able to
see; in other words only after I confessed my sin and thanked God for dying in
my place was my understanding quicken to believe in the finished work of
Calvary, my prayer went something like this; “Father God I have many doubts and
unanswered question, people tell me I am saved yet I am not fully persuaded,
however the one thing I am thankful for, I believe that Jesus is the way the
truth and the life and that He paid the price for my sin.” I most certainly
hadn’t understood the measure of what that meant but I at least had now caught
a glimpse of that truth. The floodgates then opened as tears of joy flowed
freely down my cheeks and I cried uncontrollably with tears of joy. I was blind
to the purposes of life but now could see. It was such a tangible experience
that I was compelled by this new unmerited favour to share it with someone
else. I ran into the study and flipped through the Teledex, found Greg’s number
and called him; we had travelled Europe together and almost lost our lives in
Greece, I had to give him the good news, No! The greatest news I had every come
to know; “Sledge (Greg) I have found the answer to life”, I bellowed into the
phone, expecting a similar response from him, but to no avail but instead I
only to hear, huh! What are you on about was the tone of his sigh. Not the same
response to the glorious news of the Gospel, but Greg still lives, so there is
yet hope. Be merciful to Greg Father I pray, save His soul, not because he
deserves it but because you have it in your power to be merciful. There are
many other I also pray for Bandit (Brett), Richard, Paul, Trevor, Robbie as he
is closing in on his last days, what of Dosh, my sisters and there are many others that have come across my path through
life, whether friend of foe all are in need of salvation as nothing else really
matters.
Who can fathom the mercies of God,
who can measure the depths of His love? I implore you Father God be ever so
merciful, while we have breathe there is hope.
