I Used To Be Skeptical About Faith

There was a time in my life on the streets and in the penitentary that I had no clue what faith was, I was a General in satans Army, a true foolish thing of the world. I had no clue what faith was until I got stabbed in jail. Something happened to me in the jail clinic that I could never put into human language until recently, It was the beginning of my journey with the Lord that was taking place. Suddenly I found myself going to Bible Study and began studying the Bible intently, that was when I found out that faith was true power, I actually began to quietly to live in faith and a peace came over me like a blanket of warmth. All my inner conflicts began to fade away, I began to learn what I needed to learn about the Lord and his true mission here on earth and why he saved a filthy dishrag like me. I began to break free of my destructive habits and insane lifestyle. Now when people hear my story in Church I tell them not to let the suit fool them. I've actually touched the lives of others and there's not a dry eye in the place when I'm done.

It feels good to be a constructive force in the world instead of a destructive one, through my faith, opportunities are opening up all over the place and I'm better able to deal with the negative conditions that pop up in my life from time to time. I've been blessed to have been transformed into another kind of man and human being, my faith in God showed me that i am now who God made me to be in the beginning. I am now at peace with my inner and outer world. Faith is like an electrical charge to me, most people have no clue what electricity is yet we light our homes and run our machines with it. We just go to a lightswitch, and whether we understand electricity or not our homes are filled with light. Faith is the same way, while you may not understand it or how it works, you can experience its benefits any time you flip the switch of faith.
