"THIS is the day..."

Yesterday was without a shadow of a doubt the most humbling moment in my life. Even more so than the day either of my children were born and that says a lot. Being a mom and knowing that God started with 2 single cells and then you physically grew and birthed another human being is pretty awe inspiring. But it was something yesterday with His timing of it all. My life the last couple of years I've really felt a need to "live now" and get frustrated with thinking "Am I the only person who gets this?" Life gets so busy, so full of this and that and the other. But at the end of the day, at the end of your life the ONLY thing left that matters is IF you know Jesus Christ as your personal savior, period. And by His grace we are all free to accept this offer.

So yesterday as I sat with a man who was literally taking his last breaths and prayed a short prayer that he did know God and that He was going to find His peace, I was smacked over the head once again with this truth. The details of life can be fun, especially when they are pursued according to His will for our lives, and sometimes the details aren't so fun. I read in an e-mail the other day something like "Trial in our lives our not God testing OUR faithfulness BUT God proving HIS faithfulness." That simple statement changes your perspective and "What if IT changed your life?"

I dare you to try. Heck I double dog dare you! Start today with a short prayer asking Jesus to be your personal savior and humbling yourself before Him. Ask Him to make you whole and new in Him. Then open His Word and read 5 minutes a day. If you do it with a sincere heart then the only thing it can do is change your life.

Again I double dog dare you to try... what if IT changed your life?
