Reasoned Studied Empirical

I came to faith at forty-eight,
a mid-life crisis within my mind,
step-by-step a staircase I climbed,
'til I keft my old life behind;
Off the fence I slithered down,
upon my brow,doubt bears no frown,
each question answered,verified,
no blind faith this,with no place to hide;
Reasoned,studied and empirical
a life-style relevant and optical,
by revelation,face to face,
I stand here still,saved by grace.

The proof of election,is mine
In Christ too,it can be thine.

I am glad you shared your testimony. Some people don't know exactly what it means to be saved by grace and others don't want to know, then some think they know and haven't any idea what it really means and are still lost. Your comments are supportive and uplifting. Sara
