God’s Love

Seven years ago, I sat down on a curb near my home, sobbing, and asked God to help me. I had just had surgery for throat cancer. I still had a trache in my throat. I had been told that if I didn't stop smoking and drinking immediately, I'd die. I desperately didn't want to die. I adored my wife and children. But I knew I couldn't stop. I'd started smoking when I was twelve and drinking when I was 14. I was now 57 years old. I cried and begged God to help me . . . and He did. I hadn't prayed since I was a boy. I had made fun of God and those who loved God in my writings. And now, through my sobs, I heard myself asking God to help me . . . and from the moment I asked, He did. I didn't at first understand why He did. I didn't deserve His help, I thought. I was unworthy. I ignore Him for forty years and then suddenly I ask Him to help me and He does? It took me some time to understand that God helped me because He loves me. Because even though we don't deserve God's love, God loves us - all of us. It's an excellent testimony. And I challenge you to read the whole thing.
