Ed’s thoughts
In the past I was a sinner led by my lusts. I disobeyed and ignored the word of my Lord, and the vows I had made. I was lost in my selfishness. But God never left me. He worked in the circumstances of my life to bring me to my senses. I clearly saw what a selfish bore I was and what a nasty mess my life had become. I took responsibility with God for my sin. I confessed, repented, and began to return to God through his word and his people.
I had acted like a bum, but God moved in my heart. I received his grace and mercy, and saw my complete need for him. I did not deserve forgiveness but God the father ordained the way, the Lord Jesus provided the way, and the Holy Spirit applied the way. I became broken, and wisely returned to the shepherd and Bishop of my soul. Jesus is my Lord and I follow him. What can I say now except, “If God is for me who can be against me? “
