What He Did & What I Have Learned.

When Jesus calls us to follow Him so many  of His children accept the call rejoicing that they are free from the guilt of sin and promised eternal life. When I was eight years-old I began this journey. The burden rolled off my back and I found new strength in Christ to fight sins that plagued me. What I didn't realize as I traveled through the years was that my walk was not just about looking more like Jesus. In fact, this wasn't the goal at all. I don't mean that it's not important to become more Christlike. I just know that when you are faced with the true devilish reality of your own filth and you see the true cost of years of compromise and non-addressed sin, and everything you possess is slipping through your fingers...you think twice about why you are alive. Jesus showed me. He showed me that my life is about reveling in His love for me...for ME! It is about meditating on the fact that I deserve nothing and I'm given the world. It is enjoying His smile and even His correction because they are both from the heart of the Tender Shepherd. When my life shows this love, then He is glorified and I fulfill my purpose to make Him recognizable to the world. So every day, every breath, is a journey deeper into His love and further on to His glory. I am just a pilgrim. Will you join me?
