From the Start

Those years when I was much younger and strong, time flew---and I thought that The Bible was wrong. I could not quite see, and so I would fight. The Bible did not seem so proper, or right. Mem'ries of old swept through to depart. I could not believe in Your Word from the start. Bereft of the concepts my parents had taught, my soul soon became frustrated---distraught; no peace could I find inside this heart of mine, for something was missing...I could not define. Somehow I thought wealth was what I should search for; conviction still lingered, there by my heart's door. The pleasures of sin emptied my selfish life, and left me with naught, except pain and great strife. I fell to my knees, and I asked for God's grace... and found much better things filling my empty space.
