I had been out of the church for about 20 years. I think for some reason I started watching creation videos on you tube (Kent Hovind). Not a bible study, just some videos on the Flood.
I had retired from my job early, and got a part time job at a local retail, and was working most Sat am and pm. didn't bother me at the time, but I did start getting bothered about something else--tithe. I started paying tithe online to a local church.Again fine for awhile. One night, while, I was working, I just started crying. I wasn't sick--it was a weep. One of the customers came up to me and said "Sometimes it's best just to go home" (I swear it was an angel. )I went outside, and my family came and got me. When I got home I was still weeping, and then I asked the Lord to forgive me for all I've done. I never went back.
I started reading the Bible and chanced upon a few verses that I didn't understand such as (Who were the 24 Elders), and from this, I found Stephen Bohr. About a month later, I was starting to become very convicted of my vaping( I had started years ago,thinking it was better than smoking. It took me about a month to quit, but I did, with God's help, and don't crave anything.
So here I am. There is so much available to learn, and every time I read the Bible I find something new. It is wonderful. Still battling the old self, but we are working on it.
Thank you Lord for Your sacrifice. I am not worthy.
I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which Thou hast shewed unto Thy servant;...
Gen 32:10

All I can say is a gigantic "Amen!"  I also wouldn't be surprised if that customer was actually an angel giving you a profund message that the Holy Spirit also used to bring conviction to your soul.

Thank you Lord for Your sacrifice. I am not worthy. You are experiencing righteousness by faith. You are getting to know God and He us changing you. Jer_31:3? The LORD appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.
