It takes a lifetime to really look deep within ones soul to see exactly how one had chosen to live out the precious life that God has granted. Life is a gift. And life should be looked at with a magnifier by each of us in order to see the goodness of God weaving greatness through the life time of every individual He has ever created specifically for this important time in the history of ones soul and ones life. When I realized Christ's almighty presence in my life, I awoke from slumber of self, and the life I wasn't living in Him. I knew deep down that I needed to change. And I was ever so greatly humbled by this important reality. God does come to us individually, and spiritually, and we have a choice to accept him and his invitation or to deny him access deep within our heart, mind, and soul. Of course, I was aware of the many times he had knocked on the door of my heart, at that time, I wasn't ready to receive him fully, and that decision to accept him one hundred and ten percent wasn't made until I began losing my cherished and beloved loved ones. Their death made me realize that I can't afford to make any more mistakes in my life. I need to be straight forward with myself and with my God. I began looking up to God and decided to choose God in all matters of the heart, mind, body, and soul. The power of a great and wonderful choice surfaced, changing the entire course of my life. And as I chose to grow up, a world of possibilities around me made me realize how great and big God was and is, and how insignificant and very small I was in comparison to him and everything he had ever created. And when I realized all of his creation, I immediately gave God my utmost attention. You see, I did not want to fail him, I wanted to join him, throughout my quest in life, and include him in everything. By that simple choice, of giving God my yes, I became his again, and by returning to him my free will, he began to do a marvelous work in me. You see we are all broken vessels until we admit our brokeness to Christ. And he and only he can repair us to the fullest degree. And he makes us better than what we were before we took our lives and made one great big hot mess of things. He shows us humility and we so desperately need to see the humility we were lacking, in order to overcome the obstacles we have placed in our lives. It is then we win with Christ a new life, the best life in HIM...
