Happy Birthday

Its been two years from today that I was saved from the depths of hell by my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I can't believe its already been two years. He's shown me a lot but I don't think Ive grown much. Over the last year I have grown closer to him but its still not as far as I'd like to be. I am grateful though for all that I have learned and who I am now rather than who I would have been if this wonderful birthday hadn't occurred. Here are some verses he's been working on me with for quite a while.

Proverbs15:1
A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

2Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Colossians 3:8
But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things [are] honest, whatsoever things [are] just, whatsoever things [are] pure, whatsoever things [are] lovely, whatsoever things [are] of good report; if [there be] any virtue, and if [there be] any praise, think on these things.

Ephesians 5:19
Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

And the verse that I experienced on August 20,05:


John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
