Powerful!

Timothy 1 :16 But I recieved mercy for this reason, that in me,as the formost, Jesus Christ might display his perfect patience as an example to those who were to believe in him for eternal life.
Man, this is a powerful verse to me. I just found it today, while looking for a positive verse from the bible to start my day. And this just jumped out! What a comforting, strong, positive verse to read, believe in, take comfort in, feel strong from. That is if you are a believer. If you don't believe in God, I don't reckon it would mean too much to you.
You know, I am just sort of learning about how to be a Christian person. I was raised so, in the Presbyterian Church, but only this year, as an adult, do I feel that I am learning what being a Christian really is. It is more than just getting a good feeling thinking about God, like you do as a child. There is so, so much more to being a Christian. And I think when you finally get what it is all about, you cannot turn it off. You cannot just think about God and Jesus while you are at Sunday school, or when something bad is going on in your life. God, Jesus, being a Christian, it is in the forefront of you mind all day, every day. You want to pray, read the bible, think about God, and loving him, praising him, sharing him all day long! You feel so good about your faith, you are about to Bust!!!! That is how I am starting to feel like every day. I start my day thinking about the Lord, praying to the Lord, and I end my day the same way. What a wonderful thing!!!!!
