Once I was someone who was not a believer, not because I chose but because I was raised among unbelievers.
There was a time in my life where things happened in my life but I did not know why they happened….Sometimes, I wished I would die quickly but I don’t know what kept me hoping that someday I’m going to be something.
By that time, I did not believe that God existed.
I lived in sin for 15 years of my life but still God kept me alive. I did not deserve any grace but still God gave it to me freely.
The most amazing thing is that when I was given grace, God did not look at the person I was, but looked at the person I was going to become.
This made me realize that God’s grace is sufficient for all mankind, unbeliever or not….God’s grace saved me.
The devil had held me captive, the very fact that I was delivered from the stronghold of Satan it was all God’s grace because even though I once believed the lies Satan told me, still God fought for me.
Sometimes I think that if God was not the God of grace, He was just going to let me die like a dog, but He did not give up on me.
I see God’s grace each and every day.
The fact that I have a family, I go to school, I’m provided with basic needs and that I wake up every morning, its God’s grace.
