I was a drug addict and adulterer, unable to see anything but immediate gratification. I thought I could deal with anything that life could throw at me. I was wrong. Despite my best efforts, my life fell apart around me. I lost my job, my home, my family; everything that was truly important. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. I was urged by my fiancé’ to pray to Jesus, even when I didn’t believe. It took 2 months for a response I could see. He led me to a place where He could work on me. You see I am a very logic-minded person, and I couldn’t find my PROOF, outside of religious text, that Jesus existed. Without proof I wouldn’t believe and without belief I felt it had NO faith. No faith meant to me, that I could not be saved. Through prayer, study of the word, and conversations with the resident Chaplains, this stumbling block was removed from my path. I am here today, new and clean, and wanting nothing but to do His work, for His glory. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God not as a result of works, that no on should boast. Steve
