Amazing Grace

My baptism was amazing! In words I cannot even begin to describe it. I just realized how awesome of a God I serve. I have tested God in every possible way. I have turned my back on him, abandoned his will, and knowingly chosen a life that I knew was wrong; yet not even once did he ever leave me. I was so frustrating then and so wonderful now to look back and see and remember all the times I heard God calling me even in the midst of my most sinful and selfish moments. God's love has proved to know no bounds. After all I have done, still he has a plan for me. Still he has purpose for me. Still he speaks to me. How can I serve another? I love Him! Im learning to talk to him more and trust him. As I was sitting on the stage waiting for my baptism I cried. I cried because my heart broke to realize all that God had done for me. How he had never given up on me. I was baptized in water and the holy spirit came over me. I am blessed. God is fixing all the mess Ive made. Hes grace also knows no bounds. I think of that song Inside Out and I sing it over and over again. "A thousand times Ive failed still your mercy remains. Should I stumble again still Im caught in your grace." Im so amazed at all God has done to bring me to this moment!
