I'm quite exhausted, so I will keep this short.
For the first time tonight, I understood what is it see myself in God's eyes. I'm too tired to explain the events that have lead up to this, but I feel I can say from the bottom of my heart that I know how it is to be one of his Children.
God knew that pride was my biggest issue; feeling not only like I had to, but that I could, carry the weight of the world on my shoulders. In one breathtakingly efficient gesture of love he has taken the weight I so struggled to bear and picked it up, light as a feather, in his hands. He took all the dependence I had on myself an placed it in his care, where I know now it will be safe.
I almost can't believe how palpable this feeling of relief is, I've simply never come close to anything like it in my life. I understand now why the Bible refers to Christians as the children of God. It's very accurate. He's become my father, and I lay all my burdens, sins and troubles at his feet to deal with so I can enjoy for the first time the love he has for me.
I will remember tonight as the night I became a Christian.
