You Don't Know Me

You Don't Know Me

Romans 10:9 –




"9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."



This was the scripture that God used to spark the fire of His Spirit deep within my being. This is the scripture that He used to breathe the breath of spiritual life into me. It was late. I was 19 years old. I was crashing at my parent's home for the night because I was too messed up to drive all the way back to Round Rock (A city 50 miles away; this where I was living at the time).



I had been spending the better part of 2 years ducking various family members of mine that kept wanting to talk about 'salvation' and 'giving my life to the Lord'. I thought they were just getting over excited about making some changes in their lives. Then my mom got saved… She and I have always been close. I knew her, and I knew that if she bought into this, there had to be something to it.



So there I was getting ready to wash up from the night's encounters. I turned to go to the bathroom and something caught my eye. 'Is that a Bible?' I thought to myself. There, sitting on the night stand as if it had always been there was a bible. What the heck was a BIBLE doing in my room? I figured, 'They, (my mom and grandma) are trying to get me!' I had half a mind to take that Bible to my mother's room and let her know I didn't appreciate her dropping hints or playing around like that with me. But, it was too late, and I was too tired to have an argument at that time. Still, something inside of me wanted to throw that bible out of there. Yet, there was a voice in my heart saying, 'Open it up. See what's inside'…



See… We had been raised in the Catholic Church. I believed in God. I believed what they said about Jesus. But I didn't believe in a lot of things these people
