"Before I Followed"

"Before I Followed" Text

I grew up not really believing in anything. I didn't pray. I didn't read the Bible. I celebrated traditional holidays because they were tradition. I celebrated what others celebrated. Nothing really meant anything. It was all meaningless. I didn't know the Name Jesus. I didn't know the Name Yeshua. I didn't know anything about the Father or the Son. One day. I was in a group. I don't remember the group. I just know it was online. Someone told me about Jesus. I just believed. It just made sense. I just believed. I did believe at that point. I did not follow but I did believe. I believed in Jesus. But my beliefs were shaped by a lot of people that I felt knew more. They believed longer so I felt they knew more. I was still following a lot of the traditions that people followed. I figured they knew more. It wasn't until a few years ago that I started questioning things. Tradition was no longer enough. I had to know why. Why did we celebrate? What did it mean? I started reading the Bible more. I prayed more. I pray through the day every day. I pray about everything. I started following the Lord. It went past believing. I was a believer. Now, I am a believer and I am a follower of the Lord. I try to be a faithful servant of the Lord.
