JesusIsSovereign

My favorite thing to do is study God's Word and grow in relationship with Him─ He is my love, my life, my joy, and He is all that I am! I am in all debt in Him. Second, do God's will─that is my joy. My Joy is in Christ's will. Third is to make good conversation with people and have good relationships.
The next one is much lower than the first and second one which are basically the same. Forth is playing piano, guitar and sing. Fifth is eating; I really like eating and food lol; what can I say? I'm a growing, 17 year old guy! Food is good, and I praise God who has given this to me and still continues to provide for me.

About
I'm a guy with high-functioning autism, and I've accepted the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ at the age of 7 during VBS. In the beginning of new life in me, I first still didn't care much about reading the Bible and praying. I then started to feel convicted; people were telling me I have to read the Bible and I wanted to not been seen as the, "not caring about God" and, "odd, lesser Christian out" so I began reading the Bible but it was forced; I didn't want to read the Bible actually. But as I read, I found myself starting to find the Bible interesting, but still each time it was forced to actually read it. I was about 12 when I start to figure out more things and actually started reading the Bible and prayer was big in my life. I still didn't understand most of the things they were saying but once at I think 13 or 14 I started crying when the pastor was saying things about how evil we are and we don't want to obey God and disrespect people or something like that and I felt like it resonated with me greatly. My dad, family, and people found me offensive, uncaring, and irrational (people still do). I did understand a few things though and sometimes the sermons were very interesting but there were some things I didn't like thinking about but I tried to force myself to because, "we mustn't ignore truth and know why I believe what I believe and this is wrong". I knew salvation wasn't earned, but I still believed it was our part to keep our faith. But when I was 15-16, one sermon I heard made me really confused, anxious and like, "huh?" when one time at youth group when they talked about predestination. At 16 certainly, I think is when I began putting my whole trust in God and His goodness and understanding theological topics like predestination and finding theology very interesting. This was the biggest thing for me to force myself to think about so much that I found myself thinking about it a lot throughout each day. But now I understand even more that it doesn't matter when people say things about how bad you are at things. Since then, I've certainly seen my growth in Christ; thanks be to God! I began understanding deeper topics during 16-the beginning of 17 and delving into theology which I found very interesting. I'm not done adding to this. God bless you and trust in Christ alone to lead your life! Praise the Lord! I do also now have a good healthy understanding of predestination: God has already made a covenant with Himself before the foundation of the world for Himself, the elect. Those who God has chosen are already His sheep before they accept Christ and are saved. It's not like being saved is made a possibility, it is something that is secured in Christ. God has chosen a people for Himself─a covenant with Himself to save a people for Himself. I'm still going to add to this!
