...So my journey begins

It took me a while to come up with a title to this blog. So when the words to the hymn "Blessed Assurance" wouldn't escape my head, I took the hint. I learned today that the hymn is based upon the scripture Hebrews 10:22, which says:

"let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water."

The first phrase of that passage is exactly what this blog is to be about - to help me and others "draw near to God" and to do so "with a sincere heart". Three years ago, where this story began, I did not have the assurance of anything, but today I do have "full assurance in faith" in CHRIST. Today I have peace, joy and happiness. I pray that you have the same, and if you do not, that this blog may help you "draw near to God" and know Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.
