Thank you.
I was reading Luke 15:4-7 "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.'
And a sense of thankfulness fills my heart, such a wonderful journey, and so many wonderful people. How I found a new way to introduce myself " Hi my name is Alejandro and I'm a recovery drug addict", How can be such love. How can I explain when You went in my search, remember the first time we talk, I was in such a big desperation of been loved, I was defeated, full of sadness and shame, do You remember that day I was hungry and it was so cold, yes I know is not fun been homeless, I remember saying" God I give up, I can't do this any more my life is yours", wow how you do that, how in just an instant You give me such much peace,
You came to me when I was broken, thank you father for taking the time to build me up, piece by piece with such love that it is so hard to understand.
Do you remember my baptism? I do, none of my family came but there You show me my new family, when I was call to the water and confess, that You are my Lord and savior, one by one, friend after friend around me, each one of them putting another piece, my sponsor, the one that give a hug when I need it the must, those who prayed for me, those who love me, suddenly thirty some people around me, and when I got out of the water and pastor Joel said to me "I love You" and then he give me a big hug, It was You! It was you father, who use all of them to show me how much you love me, and I'm so thankful for that.
You know Joel, and you where there when he first talk to me about You, he didn't saw a drug addict but one of your children, remember when he say to me how much you love me and forgive me, and that you care for me; some times is really hard to understand that you the must beautiful wanted to have a relationship with me.
Father I don't have much but you know that I'm yours, thank you, than you for show me your love in so many ways, In knowing you, you change me. Now I'm able to have a relationship with my parents, brothers and sisters, now I have friend, THANK YOU PAPA. I LOVE you such much.
