You Raise Me Up To More Than I Could Be
I had posted this to Everyone's Apostolic Website on March 5, 2009 at 7:47am, but their site is shutting down to move to Facebook.
John 6:37-47
44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.
45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.
46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Truly all odds were against me from the time I was born, to be a failure. My parents and siblings are mental challenged except for myself. I was an odd ball depending on who you ask today. LOL! Some will tell you that I am crazy but I have a good excuse. However I was truly blessed with a good mind. So if that wasn't bad enough because of my parents mental state I was allowed to roam the streets at a very early age. From the age of 5 I was sexually abused by an older men. Some being total strangers others being friends of my family. Later when my mom and dad separated my dad became one of those men. I was always told that bad things would happen to my family if I was to tell so I did not tell a soul. I found a happy place that I was able to separated myself from the horrible situation. Then God put his hand upon me and sent me people to take me to church and I learned about him not realizing it at the time but later in life I knew He had His hand in my life all along the way. Every time life tried binding me down, God would raise me up. It did not stop this world of sin but gave me hope that no matter what situation I faced day after day I had someone looking after my soul. Believe me I did not write this for sympathy as I am an overcomer by the words of my testimony. This happens to be my testimony that even though I was born a sinner destined to fail and go to hell. There was a God that drew me to himself. He raised me up to more than I could be. Loved me for who I was unconditionally and still does. I myself could never measure up to be good enough to make it to heaven, But our heavenly Father has more mercy and grace sufficient enough to see my willingness and my effort to be just like him. That He has given us that everlasting life as a promise. I belong to Him solely no one else could even measure to my God. I get emotional when I think of where I came from to where I am going. There is no other way to explain it than by the mercy of God. My love is deep and goes a long way but still could never measure to the love that our Heavenly Father has for us. Thank you Lord for your shoulders that makes us strong. With all my love, Sylvia
