It is amazing to think where God has brought completion into my life. I was struggling through the hardships of separation and divorce and I was looking for God in all of the wrong places. I tried to find him in other people and other things, but deep within me the only place I knew I was going to find him was within my heart and in His Word. I knew prayer was the answer to my problems, but I just felt too much hurt. The pain overtook me to the point where I was miserable. It wasn’t until I stopped running from God and finally sat still long enough to know that God was right there in front of me the entire time. Once my perspective changed, I began to see my completion unfold. I realized that God was with me with his hand out saying ‘Come to me, my child. You may feel like no one else loves you, but I love you.’ Then and there, I surrendered and let God work to complete me. By letting God back into my life, I could see a real difference. Through His grace, He began peeling away all of the mess out of my life and the blessings began pouring in. If you are seeking completion in your life, just wait on God and let him transform you into what He wants you to be. The process is hard, but in the end, it’s a wonderful blessing to know that God loves you way more than you love yourself. That is what it means to be complete.

I first heard about God’s love when I was a small child. I grew up going to church and I knew about Christ, but I lived my life my own way until I was 16. At 16, I got hit by a car while I was running across an expressway. I was hurled across the street. As I layed there I thought I was dead. But I wasn’t. God loved me enough to keep me alive. Today, I feel God’s unconditional love the most through my boyfriend, Frank. God blessed me with a wonderful man who is a great companion and who cares for me. It is through my relationship with Frank that I am better able to understand God’s love for me. I have been through some of the worst relationships in the past, but now I feel blessed to be in a relationship with such a special man. The more that I understand God’s love for me, the more I understand my need to love everybody. But loving everybody is hard! Not everyone will let you love them. Many will push you away. But I still try. I have to try, because God’s love is AMAZING! It’s just so amazing! Because he died for me, I can live for him. God chose to suffer for me because he loves me. God gave me a wonderful boyfriend in Frank because he loves me. God’s love is AMAZING!

I remember there was a time where I didn’t even think that I had a conscience. I have watched people do things in their life—where, but for the grace of God, that was me. And with the people we come in contact with- mainly the homeless, but for the grace of God…that was me. There was a time in my life when I had a place to live, but I was still homeless. Until I opened my heart and mind and soul to Christ- I was homeless. Now, I will never be alone, I will never be in want or need of anything…I trust Him in that. And when I am faced with, or if I am standing on a corner and I hear that someone has a need, my conscience kicks in and I’m racking my brain. I don’t know this person- and I’m thinking of how I can help them; what can I do for them. Whereas before, you know my thought was, “better you than me”.
Not any more. Thank God.
