There was a time I used to ignore God on purpose and said very hateful things to him when I lived in Las Vegas 14 years ago.God could have taken me anytime and sent me straight to hell it didn't matter how much I ignored him and even said to him send me to hell I don't care.God never gave up on me that was the greatest gift God gave me it wasn't that he spared me of lung cancer or let me say goodbye to my parents and my oldest friend on their death beds.Or saving me from 3 near car crashes which I should have been killed or giving me my strength back after I tore my tendons which is in my artlcle When God Gave Me My Strength Back.God and Jesus showed mercy on my late friend from Deerfield Beach Florida when she had 4 types of cancer and she didn't suffer after I prayed for her.God also protected me from all harm when I went to the middle east to hike up Mount Sinai despite the tragedys out there.I was terrified last year in the summer of 2010 when I had 3 blood clots and my leg was blown up and I was afraid they were going to amputate the entire leg and God heard my prayer and most recently in March of 2011 I nearly got hit by a car outside a Publix Supermarket while crossing the street when I had the green light someone purposely tried to run me down but I couldn't get a plate number in the dark and the driver took off to fast.My friend I am staying with said God pushed me out of the way in time.Despite all the sadness and sickness over the past 12 years I got through everything but more important my heavenly father never gave up loving me no matter how I ignored him and said hateful things among everything else God became my best friend too and if there is a time I need to talk to God I can he doesn't have office hours he is always there for his children.
