In Search of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (ePub)

I was born a Roman Catholic, baptized that way. Now that I look back at my life I can see clearly that the Lord began to teach me about His wisdom and knowledge and unexplainable love and compassion at an early stage in my life. I had checked out many denominations through the course of my life. I must say that I was able to pick up a gold nugget from each of them, in respect to gaining even more wisdom and knowledge of our God, but yet there was something missing. I couldnt find deliverance and the peace of Jesus Christ, or so it seemed to my heart. As I grew older I began to stray from our God, I guess like the prodigal son; I began to experiment with marijuana. I was introduced to it by some friends, its true what they say, marijuana is the gateway to other drugs. I had been smoking pot for a while and then I was introduced to cocaine by a girlfriend and again, without notice or warning, I was caught up in the devils web. Satan painted a pretty picture at first. Of course, most of us have been there and done that or are still caught up in his web. Satan continued to lead me head long unto the things of this world and the lust thereof. The Apostle Paul was right when he said that the flesh wars against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh. Its a sad thing, but its something we all have to go through, each and every day of our lives and fight against. My life hasnt been all that pretty. As I struggled through it, I began to dabble in the drug scene. The lure of money was like cheese on a mousetrap, and it doesnt even matter to us if it brings forth death. We chase after it and again the truth is spoken. Money is the root of all evil. I ran with the devils bunch for a while, but that pretty picture that Satan had painted for me began to grow ugly and dim. It was all an illusion painted by the devil to lead me to destruction before I could achieve complete salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord. The Bible says plainly that Satan seeks to cast us into prison and thats what he succeeded in doing to me. But the Lord, as always, saw me through with flying colors and now I live for Him and only Him, Jesus do I serve. That pretty picture that Satan painted for me grew dimmer and dimmer until darkness had consumed me, but thanks be to Jesus Christ our Lord, and His deep rooted love for us I know in my heart that Jesus is always there to catch us. He never leaves us
