I am a prodigal son, returned to follow Jesus Christ about a year ago after spending most of my life (almost 67 years) in open careless rebellion committing the worse spiritual crimes (I was saved and devoted my life in 1983 but fell into rebellion).

Jesus welcomed me back with open arms after all I've done, clothed me in His grace in which I don't deserve. I'm humbled and repentant, absolutely sure I'll be with Him in Heaven singing about His Glory when I pass. Oh, how that will be!!

I have a powerful testimony to give and I'd like to tell others about Jesus face to face, in person.

Deep, powerful feelings of regret regarding my sinful past and the power of His uncomprehending forgiveness.
I begin to uncontrollably weep.
I can somewhat "Stuff it down" for a moment before it burst out stronger than before.
This is not really sorrow but rather when I consider what He has forgiven me for.
I am awe struck, so to speak about His mercy.

The weeping shuts my testimony down.
I don't know if He wants this to actually be part of my testimony as it definitely gets the attention to the person I'm talking with or what the plan is.
I pray about it and for guidance.
