You Belong to Me
ComfortDo not fear child, you belong to the Son of God.
When God draws you nearer to Him, you realize more about yourself that you really don’t want to be faced with. I, like all of us, am a sinner. I have spent hundreds of hours studying the Bible, learning some Hebrew, learning to speak and read Greek, reading commentaries and participating in theological debates. The more I learn, the more I know that because of what I have learned and because of what I do, I am the worst of sinners.
You may feel the same, because we know what is right and we know what is wrong and yet, at times, we fail to act as if we do. One such evening, I found myself in despair, seeing my sinful self and knowing more of the sins I have committed. Such guilt for crimes against God came upon me as if I was buried under 2000 tons of boulders.
That night, I feel asleep begging God for forgiveness and help to repent of my sins. That night He came to me.
I was gathering belongings from our old house as the soldiers broke in through the doorway. I quickly escaped. I came to a hill and looked down to see a city in ruins. Another city several miles away was being attacked by planes dropping bombs on it. Seeing as the city below looked safe, I walked down the hill past a few people deserting the city.

Had one of those months here lately. Thank you for sharing your story. Reminded me of somethings that I should never, ever forget…just how much He loves me and that He will never stop. Thanks!
