A Testimonial - The 5 Mustard Seeds

My Testimony to Our Almighty Father and to His Son, Our Lord and Savior

Let me state for the record that I do believe that our God is a most Forgiving God. Not that I was really all that bad of a person, more to the fact that I wasn’t really that great of a person. I had gone through the majority of my life serving my needs and a few select others along the way. That’s not what we were intended for, was it?. To serve was Jesus’ message to all He came in contact with. He said in Mark 9:35 - And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, [the same] shall be last of all, and servant of all. I never served a higher purpose. I never served my fellow man. It was all about me. That didn’t make me evil, just not much of anything. I warranted no forgiveness for my life, yet Our Lord God Almighty and His only Son, The Lord Jesus Christ forgave me of my shortcomings and laid the Holy Spirit on my heart to become what I was meant to be.

The Setup:

To me, growing up in a Catholic family, I was typical. I played along enough to think I was in good Graces, while all the while, missing the point. I went to church. I served mass as an altar boy, got baptized, and even confirmed my so-called Faith. I was what you could call, conveniently religious. Heck, when I was really young I even served mass for my siblings in the backyard. Most of us did similar things when we were young, and truly didn't know why. After High School, I didn’t give up on God, I just didn’t give Him much at all. The next 30 years, or so, were about the same. I always knew there was a God, just didn’t think we needed to have that close of a relationship. I was doing fine, and He was busy saving all those lost souls He talked about so much in the Bible.
