Comments on: Harassed and Adopted http://blog.wsbaptist.org/general/18/ West Salem Baptist Church Blog Thu, 28 Aug 2008 16:28:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.2 By: Mrs. ***** Atkins http://blog.wsbaptist.org/general/18/#comment-774 Mrs. ***** Atkins Thu, 09 Aug 2007 02:18:03 +0000 http://blog.wsbaptist.org/general/18/#comment-774 Wow that was definitely worth waiting for Pastor Nick! If anyone can read and grasp even just a small understanding of the magnitude of what our adoption into God’s family means what he has done for us through the blood of his PRECIOUS SON, JESUS CHRIST and that does put you on your face in front of GOD in humble gratitude my heart aches for them. No I can not comprehend why God would choose to adopt me into his family. “UNWORTHY” seems to small a word for me to use of myself for the Grace God has shown me. I am in awe, humbled and thankful and I pray I will never take that for granted again! Pastor Nick- God has equipped you in a very wonderful unique way of preaching and teaching his living word in ways and areas that keep me in AWE of GOD’S love, truths of his word that brings such understanding and my own ability to comprehend, it is as though I have a thirst that can’t be quenched and I want to know & understand more of God’s word. (One reason I check your blog quite often) At times I am so very saddened to realize I just did not get it for so many years, so many years I never grew beyond those first few steps in my relationship with Christ! But I am so thankful to know and understand areas in my heart and life that need to be changed to bring GLORY to GOD. Yes, the more I understand of GOD'S GRACE the more my Love for him grows to surpass anything I ever imagined! Soli Deo Gloria! Wow that was definitely worth waiting for Pastor Nick!

I was young when I was saved, so aside from having a fear that he Lord would come back before I was ready, I do not remember much about what it was like to be lost. Even though that is true, I am thrilled that the situation is settled and a have a relationship with the Lord.
