October 9

Written by Bill Grandi on October 9th, 2023

Today is a milestone day. Today is year #71. I have no desire to talk about my history, my life. In reality, all lives are the same with a few exceptions. We are born. We live. We die.  We spend eternity in heaven or hell based on one decision: What did you do with Jesus?

Instead, I want to reminisce another way. Here goes:

I HAVE NEVER SEEN GOD:

Abandon me.

Give up on.

Quit on me.

Fail me.

Say good-bye to me.

Confused.

Surprised.

Overwhelmed.

Stumped.

I HAVE SEEN GOD:

Faithful.

True.

Solid.

A Refuge.

Grace-filled.

Present.

In Control.

That’s a quick list. I’m absolutely positive I could and would add more given time. I’m open to you adding to my list. What would you add?

And, oh yeah…Happy Birthday to me! 🙂 🙂

    Happy Birthday Bill, I hope you have a fantastic day!

    Never seen God:

    Go back on His word
    Discriminate between races,or people’s social status
    Play favorites
    Refuse to listen

    Have Seen God:

    Be a God of second, third and more chances than we deserve
    Chase rebels down
    Heal the broken hearted
    Transform Lives
    Counselor
    Be the Hope and Love that we all need, and search for
