peace to you.
i honor you and i thank you for choosing to read my words thus far.
i am olatunde, which means "honor comes again." i also write the blog "where is God?"
i want you to know who i am and to whom i am writing so that i do not waist your time.
i am one who was lost in life, one who used to live for myself alone, for my own pleasure. one night my selfishness and the consequences of my selfishness caused me such intense guilt that i felt like dying. i had been to church and heard about Jesus, but had never genuinely and personally understood and committed myself to Him. that night, under the weight of suicidal emotion, i said these words, "i believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that He died for my sin." i felt peace cover me like a blanket, and i no longer wanted to die. as a result, i am now a son of God because of my trust in Jesus, who died for me, so that i would not die that night. i deserved to die because i cut myself off from God, my source of life, and the source of life. like a fallen leaf, i lay lifeless in the world. through Jesus i am reconnected to God, the tree of life.
i write to those who want true life, real life, eternal life, spiritual and meaningful life. i write to those who think about this constantly, because i think about this constantly. i write to those who want to hear and share thoughts about spiritual life. i write to those who want truth. i write assuming that Jesus alone is truth and the only way to know and experience truth. i write to those who do not reject Jesus without having investigated Him fully, His claims, His words, His identity. if you have done this, and genuinely do not believe that He is God in the flesh, but are open to hearing, then i am still writing to you. let us think and reason together with God.
peace be with you.
