I have started to type this post four times now. Suffice it to say that God got ahold of me this morning, and I listened. I confessed some sin that I have been dealing with, and got right with God. I prayed for longer than I have in years, and it wasn't like I had to try either. I was so happy to have that crud out of my soul, that I just wanted to stay right there for a year or two!
I have been a Christian for 20 years now, and I still just can't seem to resist trying to do things under my own power. Today, I told God that he was the master of my life, and my number one allegiance goes to Him and Him alone.
I just can't do this anymore. I am exhausted trying to be righteuos under my own power. Today, I took rest in Jesus, and I'm still there. He will give me what I need, and will be my defense and my strength.
I was so very much at piece when I got to work, I grabbed a friend of mine there, and told him the whole conversation that I had with the Lord on the way to work. I had a spring in my step, and a smile on my face, all day long.
God bless all of you! If you have anything that is gnawing at you, I hope that you can come to a place where you can confess that to Jesus and get a slice of what I had today. He is the Lord, and he does care for you. If you surrender to Him, you will have more power and piece than you can fathom, and no fear of anything that life can do to you or your family and friends. This is just preschool and a fun game. Eternity is reality.
