During the middle of the summer of 2002, I drove to worship at a small church near the football stadium in Denver. A man who had been an assistant minister at a church I had worshiped at in the fall of 2001 had become the minister at an urban church, and I thought it would be neat to visit his church one Sunday. The service was not my style, but I was glad I attended. As I drove home going west on 38th Avenue, it was terribly hot. Normally, I am starving after a long morning at church. It was so hot I was not even hungry. Driving down the road, I thought of how I did not need food, and that I really did not need anything else that Sunday afternoon, except, love.
Jesus has taught me I am a man who needs true love, and I am grateful beyond words to God that I have true love in my heart from Jesus ever since He entered my heart on April 15, 1990. And throughout my 16 years in Colorado, I grew in the true love of Jesus. I physically walked countless miles along neighborhood streets and on trails in the Denver metro area foothills during my years in Colorado; countless. Yet I was first and foremost on a spiritual journey following Jesus. On that journey I encountered valleys as well as mountain summits, making many good decisions, and a few bad decisions related to my anger problem. Yet whatever my circumstance, Jesus was with me. He worked in me to keep healing me of my anger problem. He worked in me to keep teaching me more about the sacred Scriptures. Jesus worked in me to enable me to do His will, even when it seemed crazy. I thank Jesus for enabling me to live by His true love.
Jesus died on a cross for the forgiveness of sins of anyone. The wages of sin is spiritual death. Jesus died as the substitute for that consequence of wrongdoings. If you believe in Jesus, you will have eternal life. Jesus loves you!
