When I first came to know the Lord, I was 29 years old and, I 
told Him one day in prayer, "Lord, I want everything You have 
for me and, don't treat me like a baby"!  That was kind of foolish
in some respects because I suffered a lot in those early years
but, I am not sorry.  I wanted to grow up in Him and be a 
responsible child of His.  Praise God, He is a Good Father!

More Precious Than Gold The Bible calls our faith in God as more precious than gold yet how can you put a monetary value on living for an eternity with Him where you will never grow old? For just to wake up in His presence and to know that He is always so near has more value than a human tongue can speak and being touched by His Spirit makes you feel more than alive and at our best described as being on a mountain peak. Over the years that I’ve walked with Him and the trials and tribulations He has brought me through one can only say, it must have been God that helped her with the things that she has had to do. Divorce and sorrow, sickness and pain a child of God seems not to have been spared yet I know Who holds my life in the palm of His hand and I’ve known more and more He truly does care. As time has gone by, my faith has grown in Him a Righteous, Holy, Loving Father for that is what He has been to me when I was young in His Spirit my earlier misconceptions had blinded my eyes towards Him not being able of His love to see. As a baby in Christ I stumbled a lot and more than once fell upon my face but, my faith has grown as I’ve learned to trust more in His awesome grace. And drawing closer to my twilight years where at last His face I will finally see I’ll say thank You, Papa Lord for being so patient and gentle with a child such as me Written by: Marilyn S.
