Everyday, A Gift

Isn't it just incredible the way you feel in your heart when you think about Jesus being in your life? What an uplifting, invigorating  feeling! All your worries just seem to melt away like snow on a warm day and then replaced with a peace and contentment that only the Holy Spirit can produce. 

And isn't it amazing how it never gets old? That is  one of the main things that truly  astonishes me since I've been born again. Nothing ever seems to be routine in our walk with the Lord. Each and every new day now is anticipated in a way  comparable to how a child might wait for Christmas morning, with the excitement of giving and receiving an unopened gift. What a warm, loving feeling that can fill you with. I pray that everybody who reads this can relate in some way to what I'm talking about. Each morning that we awaken can be a Christmas morning, in that we have no idea what unopened gifts may await us, and who we might in return bless with our own gifts that God has already surprisingly provided us with. 

In my old drinking days, I used to wake up every morning and think "Oh great, another miserable start to yet another miserable day,,,,,I just  wish it was over already ". And I woke up like this for a very long time. It went on hour by hour, day after day, year after year. All the days sort of ran together and time just went by with no purpose or meaning. 

Then an amazing thing happened in my life . Jesus happened! The Holy Spirit happened! People entered my life,  or should I say,  I finally accepted people into my life! People who loved me! People's who cared! I didn't know they even existed. I was so blind that I was oblivious to a loving family inside  my own household. 
      
 God lets me see things different now. Now life isn't about me and feeling sorry for myself because I was dealt a losing hand in life.  It never really  was a losing  hand for you see,  I was just playing it wrong.


Our God so amazing in ways that we can't even imagine.

 Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of the heart will also be.
