I always said we didn't deserve it, but deep down inside I felt I was earning it. It was an "I'll pay you back" to God. I would have never articulated that, but that's how it was growing up. When it hit me that I didn't deserve, couldn't earn it, and He loved me still, I still remember how overwhelmed I was. It was even more powerful than the day I was baptized in the Spirit. My heart was anew. My relationship took on a new fervor. I was freed from chains I put on myself that He never intended.
