I think when I look upon this day for years to come, I will exclaim out what a joke it is. That life and death can be separated by just one line. But it's no joke. It's more of a timely reminder that birth and eternity are just a breath apart.
And how more timely that a health epidemic plagues us at this moment.
I'm not afraid of what is to come. Even if I'm called home at this moment, on this day, at this place, I am not afraid. It's all I've been looking forward to. But what if I have not fulfilled the extent of my calling here on earth? I don't want to leave any things undone, any stones unturned. I want to live out the life my God has planned for me, to shine as He has commanded me to, to fulfill the commission He has given.
How apt it is to discuss death on my birthday. Other than the fact that someone dear to me passed on to be home with the Lord one day after I turned 18, I think it's just right for me to die to self once more on the day I was given life.
Father,I thank you for wonderful 22 years here. I know that this world is not my own, I am just passing through on my way to Heaven. And on this day which I was given physical life, I re-dedicate myself unto You. Mold me, break me and use me O Lord. Forgive me for the times I took for granted the Grace You've had so freely given. On this very day, I set my priorities right once more.You are First in my life.You are All in my life.You are God is my life. None, no one and nothing can ever compare with You. Teach me to love you more. Teach me to yield more unto You. I surrender all to You.I love You.In Your Holy Name,Amen. Labels: faith
