I Do.
May 2,2022 — the day I 'hugged' God.
Luke 15:20 TPT
[20] “So the young son set off for home. From a long distance away, his father saw him coming, dressed as a beggar, and great compassion swelled up in his heart for his son who was returning home. The father raced out to meet him, swept him up in his arms, hugged him dearly, and kissed him over and over with tender love."
I was right there in my room searching the Scriptures to solve a sort of puzzle I had found on Instagram, with Yeshua Hamashiach by Minister Nathaniel Bassey, playing on my Bluetooth speaker– it was loud enough to envelope my ears and room. A few minutes passed by and I remember that I wasn't reading my hard-copy Bible to solve the puzzle anymore. The Word was now ministering to me, hot uncontrollable streams of tears flowed down my eyes and I began to ask for mercy even as I went down on my knees. From what felt like 65 hours of asking God to forgive all my iniquities, I began to confess that Jesus Christ is Lord over all, and also in my Life.
Quick Fun Fact about the Word:
Hebrews 4:12-13GW
[12] "God’s word is living and active. It is sharper than any two-edged sword and cuts as deep as the place where soul and spirit meet, the place where joints and marrow meet. God’s word judges a person’s thoughts and intentions. [13] No creature can hide from God. Everything is uncovered and exposed for him to see. We must answer to Him."
Before this blessed day, I had begun to read my Bible again sometime in April 2022. I always ran away from God's Word because I always felt too dirty to pick up talk less of understand the Word of God. I just always placed my Bible underneath my pillow with the belief of it guiding me while I was asleep.
But you see, ever since the encounter I had in my room.....I've loved the Word. There are/were times I do not feel like reading the Word but I remember, if a puzzle could make me open my Bible, God's love is surely greater than a puzzle.
After what felt like years, I came out of my room as a NEW MAN.
2 Corinthians 5:17 NLT
[17] "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!"

It's by His Grace I'm still standing.
1 Peter 2:9 NLT
[9] "But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light."—This is my mandate.
The first step is to say "I do".—I agree to allow you to be Lord over my life, I return to your embrace, I accept you as a friend. [Lord, Father, Friend].
God's ready, are you ready?!
