Love Is No Longer Foreign To Me

I was living a reckless life, without purpose or direction. I was abandoned by my parents I grew up in the system. Love was so foreign to me, in fact, I didn't think it was real. I was hopeless and in despair, when it came to life I didn't care. While I was living a reckless life a lady came and shared the good news with me. At first, I treated her mean and told her to leave me alone. But she never did, she continued to show me the love of God. As time went on my hard heart turned around. I wanted to know more about the bible. I learned how God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son to save the world. In time I believed and repented for all I had done, accepted Christ as my savior. That was years ago, today I know I am loved and forgiven and set free. God's love and forgiveness is for us all. *Inspired by Regina's Repent And Believe Contest 01/28/2022
