Years ago in the middle of the greatest obstacle that faced me , discouraged and helpless , I fixed my eyes on the bible searching for strength, resolve, anything that would lift the heaviness away. I was reading the gospel of John and I came upon chapter 8 :55 and Jesus was speaking to the religious leaders of his day. he said ‘Though you do not know him, I know him ( God ) If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you…’ I leapt off the sofa and said God , how can I say that I know you . Not that am a Christian , not that I am born again but that I know you and I began to pray. It wasn’t more than ten seconds and this thought hit me like I could almost hear it with my ear and it said ; IF YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU, THEN YOU KNOW ME
