Faithful

Is God not faithful? I believe God has been faithful my entire life. I look back from when I was young and can see God having a hand in things I did. I look at what I had done as a kid like experimenting with smoking and pot. I was a little thief that stole candy and toys just anything I could get my hands on. The last time I stole something was when I got caught. I was so scared I did not know what to do. I got grounded for two weeks.

I'm sitting here grateful and honored that God knew me before the foundations of the earth. He is faithful indeed. I was raised in a twice divorced home. There was no quality time with the family. My family was on drugs and I was not aware of it. I thought everyone lived and acted like our family. My parents worked nights so I never really saw them except on weekends. I was in school all day and when I got home they were at work. My parents after years of doing drugs got out of that lifestyle. Thank you Jesus! All of these things that I experienced in my youth God was present. He was preparing me to be a faithful, loving, God-fearing husband and father and friend. JOY J=Jesus O=Others Y=You. I am thankful I can now, as a follower of Christ, experience true joy. God is faithful. God Bless!
