My son asked me to pray for him and...(Truth#4)

I was again reminded of Gods grace. You see, I didn't grow up as a Christian. Christ got a hold of my life when I was 18. I grew up as a Catholic, enjoyed attending but it was more a religion than a genuine relationship. When I began searching what I really believed I came face to face with Jesus and this year marks 20 years walking with Him. When my kids were born I knew I was on a new adventure. I had never witnessed what it means to raise a child up with Christ. And as a parent of an 8yr old and 6 yr old, I have witnessed many miracles in our kids lives, recently the biggest where my 8 year old son asked Jesus into His life and was baptized. So every time he does something where I see God in him, it blows my mind. Last night his stomach was hurting him so we got him in bed, tucked him in and kissed him on the forehead. As I was leaving his room he said, 'daddy, can you pray for me?'. God is alive in him and it reminds me of His amazing grace. This is what I know for sure...

# 4 Truth
No matter what your past, God has a future for you with Him that will blow your mind....if you give Him a chance.

Do you believe it?
