The name of God is Jesus.
Remember God.
Jeremiah 31:3
The Lord appeared to us in the past, saying, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.”
John 6:44
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day”
God draws us with a loving kindness, the greatest of which is his son on the cross.
Yet, I was not drawn to him because of that. I had heard about Jesus my whole life through people. Not church or anything but I knew of him.
I was drawn by a a small kindness.
God dropped a twenty dollar bill into my lap when I was working at the factory when I needed a few bucks for diapers when my oldest son was a couple months old. Right at the exact time I asked for it, and in a spot that was a miracle because it didn’t get sucked into the machine.
He revealed himself to me in such a personal way and at such a specific time as to be a miracle to me.
THEN I was drawn to Jesus, and the Bible, through the bible I came to know Jesus as the God Son, My Lord and King, The Lion of Judah who led me back to the Father who in turn brought me into his presence, after which he confirmed in me the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
So who am I to to be writing to you, someone who may or may not ever read this. You who probably know more than I do anyway. You who are way more successful, way more cultured, way more intelligent, you who only stumbled onto this page by accident.
Who am I?
Just a guy. Who God brought along on a nice walk.
Just a guy, who God understood, and like a small child would ask question after question after question.
Just a guy who came to know Christ intimately enough to give him a nickname, in Arabic, “Baladi al’asad”, “My Lion” in English.
Just a guy. Just like you.
Just a guy who God calls, “baladi al’asad alssaghir”,
“My little lion”.
