"One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!” -- John 9:25b
Despite a fairly dramatic conversion experience, I fought God for a long time. In my family any sort of faith is considered stupid. Then, years after He called me, He healed me of a mental illness and depression that dominated my life well into my thirties.
It was literally an overnight change. One day I self-harming and lost; the next day it was as if a light had gone on inside me. I'd been seeing a psychologist and he was amazed at the transformation and declared that somehow my brain chemistry had changed.
At times I stop and marvel at what God has done for me. He took a miserable, messy life and filled it with love and light and purpose.
I want this for EVERYONE. I know that even the worst person in the world can be transformed by God's love if they open their heart to Him. No one is beyond His reach. No hurt is too deep for Him to heal and redeem.
