The Most Important Thing to Brian Brawley

I was saved at the age of eight. I was at revival where the Pastor describes death without God meant you loose everything. I didn’t want to loose everything and everyone I loved so I asked Jesus into my heart. My testimony is simply one of Jesus’ faithfulness. I came from a home like so many, a father that repeatedly told me that I was an embarrassment to the family and wouldn’t ever amount to anything. My mother was faithful to keep me in Church. I have made many times many mistakes in my life.

I use the word “I” to take ownership of my mistakes. I can’t blame the lack of a loving father. Jeremiah 29:11 tells me God has a plan for me. He has faithfully placed strong Christian men in my path to give me the life lessons my father never would. I will always have the scars that my father inflicted on me. Some seem to never heal. One thing that is always true is my heavenly Father will always lift me up and give me that loving care and correction my earthly father never did.

He was there for me when as a child I cried myself to sleep night after night, wanting a father I didn’t fear, and he is still here lifting me up, and holds me accountable not through harsh words and chastisement, but through a consistent unfailing love that I will never understand this side of Heaven, but can, knowing that I have done nothing to deserve it, believe He will never quit loving me. I will always win the old argument of whose Father is bigger. Mine is, for mine is not of this earth.
