Hello Quix, my question about the love of God was a general one an example that I have found not fully present in my life. That said I am not bitter towards God nor have I taken my toys and gone on to other things. You see I was born a heathen and practiced the ways of the world for 30 years indulging in most the things of the 60’s generation. I was like the prodigal son who was living in the pig pen but did not know that there was someone who truly loved me and cared what would become of me.

On August 10 1986 God stepped into my life and delivered me from 20 years of drug use to the point that I had no withdrawals nor did I or have I had any desire to drink or drug since then. Every day I wake up with knowledge of what He has done for me and in me and that with out his intervention I would of been dead a long time ago found with a needle in my arm.

That song called I’m forever grateful is the story of my life. He did not wait for me to cry out to Him but let me hear His voice calling me. There is not one disappointed bone in my body every time I hear someone talking about having clean time at work I pipe in and tell them of my over 20 years plus and they ask me how I got clean and stay clean I ask them how much time do they have and if we can talk at lunch or meet at some other time.This has been a door that God has opened many time and I have had the privilege to give my testimony and give God all the glory.
