From The Pit To The Palace

I found this picture of me when I was 23 years old and I found a message in it. You see the word "PIT" in the background? well there's a story there. I was young in my spiritual journey - I had not received the Lord Jesus Christ in my heart yet - even though I was raised in church and Sunday School. In my early twenties, some Sundays I was not even in church - I am sad to share, but instead I was out to the races with my boyfriend or on a lobster boat. As I grew older there was a longing for something more and that was a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank the good Lord that He never gave up on me, I love my life now in the "PALACE" it is so much better than it was down in the "PIT." Jesus had something better for me, but He was waiting for me to make the decision to place Him first in my life, He wasn't going to do it for me. I had to come to the end of myself - to find out that the only thing that could fill my "empty well" was Jesus. He waited patiently for me to want Him more than anything else and love must always be free or it is not love at all. I love the Lord with all my heart and I will serve Him all my days here on this earth. I hope my personal testimony helps someone today.
