Sometimes foolish
"For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving diverse lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour" (Titus 3:3-6 KJV). There was a time when I walked senseless, thoughtless, and in disobedience. I was surrounded by darkness and lying to myself saying, "this is the greatest life ever". I was misled by sin, by my own thoughts and cravings. I was without direction. I was living a life blinded by addiction to drugs and alcohol. I was chasing after pleasures from the world. I was living a life in hopelessness, chained by my own heart. I was lost in this world. I couldn't find a way out because there is no way out by one's own works. What do you do at this point? I felt like giving up. I wanted to die. My pride was broken. My integrity was lost. I had nothing to call my own. I hit rock bottom, and at that point it was either life, that I had no control over, or death. Life only goes as far as the individual allows it to go. I chose life, and at that moment the Lord Jesus Christ came down and saved me from a pit of misery and torment. Through His grace, His love, and His mercy I am saved today, washed by the blood of Jesus Christ. His kindness towards all humanity has grabbed a hold of me. He renewed me through the power of the Holy Spirit. I am a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you. Amen
