BUT I wasn't saved, When I became an adult and understood what it meant, I became saved, BUT I wasn't saved. I wasn't saved until I was born again, however, even before I was saved, God took care of me. He supplied my needs and taught me. But until I was born into a life that didn't put myself first, unril I had a desire to be holy I wasn't saved. I didn't understand that, Like Jesus, I had to have a desire to serve others and put others needs before mine. When I did that I WAS saved, I knew God and understood Gods will. I knew because My goals changed from selfish goals to wanting helping others so that he would be happy, and I found it also made me happy. It was then that I started growing up and maturing in Gods grace. Like all of us I am still a work in progress. There are days my selfishness exceeds my loving. But through it all God is by my side. Just like a parent who raises a child. The parents love for the child wasn't dependant on the childs understanding. It was givien freely. So God loves us.
