From the time I was looking to develop my faith (about 3 1/2 years ago) God knew which paths that he would have me travel. The starting point was at the church in Stockton which Pastor Ellen was the pastor of and it offerred the hope which I so needed.
But after a short while I came to a road block on that particular path to Jesus and this scared little lost lamb ventured away with much resentment, fear and frustration. I felt that even God had let me down.
God knew just how empty this lamb's soul was. God knew how weak I was in my faith in Jesus Christ and he knew I was lacking Biblical knowledge. God knew which paths this starving malnourished lamb should take in order to find the spiritual nourishment I was in need of.
God knew what happened and why Pastor Ellen left the church in Stockton. God also knew that the down trodden group of people who loved the Lord and left that church as well would soon meet up at the fork in the road where my path would cross with their path.
God knew how crucial it was for this frightened and searching lamb to meet up with a kind-hearted group of shepherds. God knew that I would travel the path to a group of shepherds whose hearts were filled with the love for and of God. He knew I was weak and starving and he knew just who could provide the spiritual nourishment that I so needed in order to grow and become stronger in Him.
And that was the beginning of my faith journey.
