Last Sunday, Mothers Day, marked 10 years of my family being at Mars Hill. Tonight, the amount of God’s grace in my life over the last decade completely astounded me. We started attending Mars Hill around the time that I turned 11. Since then, I have seen Mars Hill grow and God do amazing work in my city, my church, and my life. The truth is, it’s not a very exciting story. But it is one of God’s grace and faithfulness. I prayed to become a Christian at the age of 4 (or thereabouts), but it wasn’t until later that I took ownership of my own faith, rather than depending on my parents’ faith. That was at Mars Hill. I have rebelled, and sinned, and drifted, and been hard-hearted, and been disobedient for the last decade. And yet, God has always been there - correcting, and loving, and redeeming, and forgiving, and pulling me back to him, and picking me up and carrying me forward. This blows my mind. Why would he ever put up with me? But he has. And I feel so loved. He has loved me though my family, my friends, my leaders, and so many others, especially through Mars Hill. I don’t have enough words to express how amazing that is to me. And he promises to remain this faithful for the rest of my life, even when I am faithless. All I can say is that I FEEL SO VERY LOVED by my savior.
