Title: God will get our attention.
Post by: christ4me on July 04, 2006, 05:58:28 PM
I had been up and down with church for years, mostly down. I was married with two beautiful girls. I had a great job that I hated. I had a marriage and family that I took for granted. I hated life and was just working to get to tomorrow. A little over a year ago I lost my job. The union said not to worry i would be back quickly. This did not happen, and I was out for 10 months. During this time my wife filed for divorce. The Lord blessed me with my job back after 10 months but now my family is gone. I could barely survive day to day. I thought of killing myself because the pain was so bad inside and I could not get it to go away. All I could think of was my wife and kids. i could barely go to work. Then I started calling christian friends for prayer, I began praying and reading and listening to worship music. Going to church whenever I had the chance. I am back home with my wife and kids and God is restoring this marriage. I thank God for allowing me back under the same roof as my family and I never want to turn my back on him again.

  When God decides to get your attention, He will, and their is nothing you can do about it.

What a great story!  I really appreciate your honesty.  If our coming to Christ can be symbolized by 100 steps, He'll take 99 of them.  But we still have to take one.  It's a lengthy, painful, humbling step for some of us.  But you took it, and your testimony has blessed my day.

Thanks for writing, my friend. May your marriage, family, job and life be filled with blessing.

Praise God.

Brother, I too had a similar experiance. I gave my life to Christ and over time not only did He heal me but restoresd my marriage and my wife is now a believer too ;D

We have never been so happy as we are in our lives together in Christ and our church home.

Hold fast to His promise and good news.......it will never fail you ;D
