REVELATIONS OF A LIFE WELL LIVED

I am continually refreshed by the goodness and the faithfulness of God Almighty. For the first time in this crazy life that I have lived, I am beginning to see things in a perspective I never thought possible. I have in my unregenerate past been an abomination to God, and even though I found Jesus Christ and began my adventure with Him, I still didn't understand how being reborn would change the aspect of my life that God had called me out of. Today God revealed to me that though we are not the center of the physical universe, EACH PERSON ON THIS PLANET IS THE CENTER OF GOD'S UNIVERSE. Everything that He has done in the past, is doing today, and will do in the future, is all for you. If you were the only person on the earth, God still would have sacrificed His Son to give you the choice to come home to Him at the end of your time here on earth. Every person (friend or foe) in your life, every event (both good and bad) that you have been a part of, every thing that has come into your life or left you... it is all for the express purpose of the plan that He has for your life... A LIFE FILLED WITH HIM. Jesus Christ is the door into a life that we cannot even begin to fathom, possibilities that we cannot even imagine, and a fullness of existence that we cannot even contain. God's heart beats with a love for you that will overwhelm and fulfill you. He declares in His Word that He is a Jealous God. God doesn't want to lose you to the enemy of your soul, He wants nothing but the absolute best for your life, which He preordained from before you were even formed in your mothers womb. Until this day, I did not understand any of this, could not even comprehend it let alone accept it and walk in it. But God... (I am so thankful for the 'But God...' verses in the Bible.) But God had mercy on me in my ignorance and saw fit this day to draw the scales from my eyes. And oh, the wonderment I beheld in my understanding of His Absolute Love for even me. And I glimpsed a life that He wants to bless and walk with me through. I am a different man for it.

Please be aware that I am just a simple man trying to understand this life and the God that I serve. The postings on here are not the work of some schooled theologian, but the meditations of my heart and experiences that I have. I place them here in the hope that someone somewhere will be blessed by them. I welcome your thoughts and input. I would think it goes without saying that anything vulgar or blasphemous will not be posted. God Bless You and thank you for leaving your thoughts! O_o
