One Of The Lost Returns

Born into a world full of my own plans, hopes and dreams, then many selfish ambitions of what I now call delusions of grandeur. Then... A new thing created in me starts to come alive. Started with a look at a dusty Bible at the beginning of a fake pandemic that God used to take away all that was between Him and my selfish ambitions. After a year and a half of following clues and going to scripture and back to all the things in the world to find answers to all the things I did not understand on my own, But I was rapidly starting to find peace in the scriptures and still struggled to know why. Why all this and why now? My closet had to come clean, and clean by my standards was not what He wanted, it was a 3am every day for 3 1/2 months on my knees in a puddle of tears showing me all of my iniquities and times I have hurt others and Him and all of my not so public thoughts and feelings some I never even knew I had.
