We all have a day when we remember that God came into our life. I know for sure that Christ entered my life when I was 17 years old, but you know I just did not have a date. It wasn’t until this week, outside in the sun, that God set a date. You see for most of my christian life I have followed after Christ and done what I thought he wanted me to do. The problem was I was trying to do this all on my own. You see no matter how much of myself made that 180 degree turn, my sin life was still headed in the same direction. It was on a full speed collision with disaster. As I sat and spoke with God I realize I had to submit everything to him, which included the sin I wanted to keep for myself. This is a true statement, there are some sins in our lives that we want, it makes us feel as if we have some control. We DON’T! I would do well and then give into the weakness of my feelings which just in turn hurt my relationship with others. Not even about being mean or distant, but I just wouldn’t be around. I would be so stuck in my sin and what thinking of how worthless I had become that it would distance me from those that cared for me. Now, God let me know that I can have a day to remember and it turned out to be January 17th, 2012. This day marks when my entire life, everything, sins and gifts have been surrendered to a God who says he loves me and that nothing I have done or will ever do, would keep me from experiencing His Love.
