"Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" John 8:32

God's truth is plain and simple no mystery there

Just wait now ...

On my previous and first post I promised to include a passage of the bible which is psalm 116, here it is.            

Psalm 116


    I love God because he listened to me, listened as I begged for mercy.
   He listened so intently
      as I laid out my case before him.
   Death stared me in the face,
      hell was hard on my heels.
   Up against it, I didn't know which way to turn;
      then I called out to God for help:
   "Please, God!" I cried out.
      "Save my life!"
   God is gracious—it is he who makes things right,
      our most compassionate God.
   God takes the side of the helpless;
      when I was at the end of my rope, he saved me.

 7-8 I said to myself, "Relax and rest.
      God has showered you with blessings.
      Soul, you've been rescued from death;
      Eye, you've been rescued from tears;
      And you, Foot, were kept from stumbling."

 9-11 I'm striding in the presence of God,
      alive in the land of the living!
   I stayed faithful, though bedeviled,
      and despite a ton of bad luck,
   Despite giving up on the human race,
      saying, "They're all liars and cheats."

 12-19 What can I give back to God
      for the blessings he's poured out on me?
   I'll lift high the cup of salvation—a toast to God!
      I'll pray in the name of God;
   I'll complete what I promised God I'd do,
      and I'll do it together with his people.
   When they arrive at the gates of death,
      God welcomes those who love him.
   Oh, God, here I am, your servant,
      your faithful servant: set me free for your service!
   I'm ready to offer the thanksgiving sacrifice
      and pray in the name of God.
   I'll complete what I promised God I'd do,
      and I'll do it in company with his people,
   In the place of worship, in God's house,
      in Jerusalem, God's city.
   Hallelujah!





Just wait now don't go thinking another religious blog ,moralizing and telling people they are bad. You see I was bad I was facing death, in my mind and heart every day and i would abuse drugs and alcohol and my soul was in anguish and pain continuously.I was so hungry for love and peace, but it was coming out in the wrong way.  Ok just wait now I know you might be thinking , there we go again the same story has those other people who find religion, and you are right and you know why? It is because that is what people are looking for that's true plain and simple and God's love is the only love that will fully fill that essential emptiness that we all seek to fill. And that is a truth
