Only The Lord

By: Oronde Bolden

It was only the Lord who knew me before He formed me in my mother’s womb. It was only the Lord who could form my eyes, nose, mouth and create the DNA that I have. It was only the Lord who could have chose family members, neighbors etc.. to teach me about Him even when I didn’t listen at a young age. It was only the Lord that kept me from getting jumped and hurt badly from running my mouth so much in middle school. It was only the Lord who gave me grace when I was told to empty my pockets because I was looked at as I was lying. It was only the Lord who helped me sincerely pray when my brother died at 13 not truly knowing exactly who He was. It was only the Lord that put the desire in me at 16 to want to get to know Him more. It was only the Lord that kept me from getting a gun, cutting myself, getting my belt to hang myself when I was suicidal. It was only the Lord that kept sending messenger after messenger to tell me about who He is. It was only the Lord that baptized me with His Holy Spirit. It was only the Lord who taught me how to be a man. It was only the Lord who could help me fight off my sexual lust. It was only the Lord who could help me to love the ones that hurt me. It was only the Lord that showed me how to forgive. It was only the Lord who taught me what a leader is. It was only the Lord that helped me type this blog and share part of my story! It was only the Lord 🙏🏾

Galatians 2:20- I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
