Salt*

I want to be salt. I am hoping that my little blog is just my way of shaking out a little salt in me. I am grateful that Jesus sought me and changed my life. No man cometh to the Father except the Father draw him. Jesus went looking for me when I was still lost in my sin and I am grateful that he came looking for me. I have had no great impact on this world or any one individual. I feel I have not even passed on this great salvation to my children. But I hope I am shaking out the salt that is in me as a believer in Christ. CFAN's theme for this year is the year of influence. It is my hope that I can be the salt that helps someone come to know and develop a relationship with this Jesus. I try not to be overpowering with my salt. I had my son just this year tell me to quit shoving my religion down his throat. That is not what I want to do, I just hope I can tell how great God has been to me and convince someone to try as I did some 29 years ago. My life has not been perfect, anyone who has been divorced 4 times has made some errors. I have sinned, I have been legalistic at times, but I have also seen God change me. There are things I wish I could go back and do over, but I can't. I am grateful for the 60 years God has given me. I am grateful for the before and after pictures, I have seen not only myself but others. I am encouraged when I hear of ex-wives that are finally getting it together and serving God. I believe if someone tried this Jesus as I have, they will never be sorry. I am grateful to a Minister by the name of Mike Mathis that told me directly: "Leon, someday you will stand before God and have to give an account for your life." It was direct and to the point but I will be eternally grateful that he allowed God to use him to reach me. I have gone thru some things / some difficult times, but I do not regret meeting Jesus Christ. He changed my life, he has been with me thru thick and thin. Even when I have sinned he was there to pick me up and dust me off and send me back on my way thru life. You have to truly experience him to totally understand. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He hates divorce but he was with me thru every one of them. God Bless, LVZ.
