If one is 100 and doesn't know the Lord, it's getting to be late in the game!

One thing I wish I could change about my life would be the age at which I came to know the Lord: I was almost 20.

I think a lot of people wish they could change that.
I was crying in the restroom at church one day and a very sweet lady came up to me and said, you are on the right path. I wish I was on the same path as you at your age.

But, We can't change when we came to know Jesus, but we can change how we act and go forward now that we have been shown the Truth

I'd ask for a genie so that I could have three more wishes. And with those wishes, I would wish for a time machine, a telescope, and never-ending lasagna.

So it wasn't constipation that sent you to the gal's room, huh? :p

Yes, I agree...it's common. In my case, I was younger than what a lot of people are when they are spiritually renewed.

I want this too! I wrote it in my journal a few days ago. I want to experience the most real love there is. Jesus says only He can satisfy and I want a first hand experience of that.

I have experienced that everlasting undying love that I wish for all to experience: the love of God. It was while I was still running from Him in disobedience, rebellion, and defiance, so I consider myself to have been lost at that time from my present perspective, but God knew exactly where I was. This was quite a few years ago, twenty eight to be more exact.

My marriage had broken down following two first-trimester miscarriages, and a stillbirth that occurred less than two weeks before the nuptials. I also had a lot of baggage from my past that I had been unable to deal with/put "closure" on. It was around Passover in 1988, and a neighborhood evangelical Christian church was showing a movie on the life of Christ based on the Gospel of Luke. I had been brought up in a fairly strict religious environment but did not know Jesus. Living in a world of unremitting emotional pain, I went with a sincere desire to know more about Him.

As I sat in that church after seeing the first or second part of that movie, I am not sure at what point the following happened: my whole body was filled with the Light of God's unconditional love and forgiveness for me with the sure knowledge of all I had done: all the ways I had messed up my life, all my failures and mistakes, all my filthy rags, everything was bathed in the Light of His absolute understanding of how and why I had become the person I was, all of it brought to the surface and illuminated in the Light of His unconditional love and total forgiveness.

Saying I wept is a bit of an understatement. I felt so broken and so lost and so unredeemable, but most of all I felt unworthy... and yet I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that God had just shown me His unconditional love for me. It remains one of the most profound and cherished experiences of my life... even though it did not move me to belief at the time.

Amen. Yes I have tasted it and felt real love from Jesus (also when I was at my lowest in life and when I first understood real grace). I've never been happier.

But I know there's more and I want to experience ALL of it. I'm just not satisfied yet. So I'll keep seeking Him and find. :)

Yes I think most of us have. I was talking about knowing there's even more of God's love to give and desiring that.

Is that a girl thing? Because when I cry I don't try to hide it. I don't draw attention to myself, I just let the tears flow. Granted, I'm usually not facing people when water leaves my eyes. That could make a difference.

I would really love to be raptured already, together with all the people I love. So that's one thing. But I know that I have to be patient for that.

So, my first request would be a trip to Israel with my family! Yay. Okay, your turn.

I would acknowledge His ultimate wisdom on the matter and ask Him to give me whatever He believes i am lacking and in need of..
