And you shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free. Truth defines our lives, defines our spirituality, defines ourselves.

It is a joy and a very deep privilege, first to be in Christ, and by extension, to be among other people who are also very genuinely in Christ as well. To every single person who contributed to this very important thread in particular, and to this precious forum in general, it is a great relief and a great privilege to share this journey with all of you. And it is the most stellar hope to look forward to entering Eternity among you.

In 2005, I was so hurt and so depressed that I was having trouble accepting the idea of living forever. It has taken a great expression of the Holy Spirit to finally bring me to a place where I can look forward to tomorrow's dawn with hope and anticipation. For the last several months, I hoped to be excused from the burden of opening my eyes to greet yet another dawn... I doubt most people realized that... To those who have prayed for me, I can't thank you enough. To those who have put up with me, I can't thank you enough. To Jesus Christ, deepest thanks of all. You people are the best, because you encourage the rest of us together to keep asking the deep questions and keep sharing the stunning answers we find in Jesus Christ, so that we all may make it through these incredibly difficult times together. Peace and deepest blessings to all then.

Thank you so much...

You're awesome in Christ meg and thank you

You're awesome in Christ meg and thank you

Aaahhh, Myinnuendo, He is awesome in me. All I knew was that pretty much everything about my life was all wrong and badly mistaken, so I finally turned to Jesus Christ and asked Him if He was real after all. He started with a yes, and proceeded to instruct me on what that means and why. The answers are astounding, just astounding, but I wouldn't have found many of these answers without the genuine Christians who had gone before me, found the truth, and taken the time and patience to share what they have learned. I reached a very important goal in the last 48 hours of so, I am finally confident that the foundation of my faith is correct, and that I am safe in Him. I really wasn't entirely sure until Tuesday night through Wednesday morning, and ever since, I can really tell the difference. I don't want to risk trying to describe this with words, but something extremely important has been completed in my faith walk, and I am just so at peace now. It means so much, so incredibly much...

Meg, what has transpired in you in the past 48 hours, whatever that is, is awesome! And I can say that because it has brought you to the absolute and total assurance that you are His! This is indeed a work of God. What an amazing God we serve!!! Truly all His ways are perfect!
