This truly deserves millions of views. I pray more people would hunger for stories like this that not only glorify God but bring comfort as we grow in understanding of who God is.

❤ FABULOUS!!! Nothing I love more than a great repentant sinner! 😇
I am going to put some of these videos on my blog! They are great!! I hope you get lost of donations!!
I love all the quotes you chose, especially the first one! It sums up perfectly what I was trying to say someone, just the other day, but I’m afraid I wasn’t nearly as eloquent, and probably sounded like a moron, but he nailed it exactly! That is how I felt my whole life! Like God was with me the whole time, all along, and then one day, He finally decided to introduce Himself! ❤
Thank you for all these videos, they are lovely, and so inspiring for my creative mind! I really have to get to work, lol.

Thanks for the video. FYI, the Qur'an also talks about the very same point about sailors in the storm:
It is He who enables you to travel on land and sea until, when you are in ships and they sail with them by a good wind and they rejoice therein, there comes a storm wind and the waves come upon them from everywhere and they assume that they are surrounded, supplicating Allah, sincere to Him in religion, "If You should save us from this, we will surely be among the thankful."
But when He saves them, at once they commit injustice upon the earth without right. "

Romans 8:38-39
New American Standard Bible
38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
