II Corinthians 5:17
Today is my 49th birthday. As cliched as it sounds,"Time flies." God's word teaches us, "For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." (James 4:3b) Our time here is short, so we move forward by faith while ever living under the shadow of the cross knowing that our salvation was wrought upon the violent yet victorious Hill called Calvary through and in our Saviour The Lord Jesus Christ. Glory to the Lamb forever! This October I will have been saved for thirteen years. I have never gotten over what Christ did for me in the saving of my soul. Any words that I would attempt to string together would be a futile attempt to capture that which burns in my heart. I am looking forward to praising my Lord today and thanking Him for another glorious opportunity to bring glory to Him. I am looking forward to a blessed day with my wife. I am a rich man in Christ Jesus! "He that hath the Son hath life" (1 John 5:12a)
My friend, if the redeemed in Christ Jesus ever really get a hold of the fact and truth that WE ARE SAVED praise will flow like a mighty river from our hearts and across our lips! Tears of joy will accompany the remaining days we have here on this earth, and that will be a wonderful thing. Gratitude! Gratitude! Gratitude! I believe the seed of revival will be be planted in the soil of gratitude! We need revival! We need the redeemed in Christ to say so! People need to see the joy of the Lord in our lives! Don’t be afraid to get excited about the Lord Jesus Christ. People need the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Let’s not waste the time we have been given. Let’s be salt and light in a dark and hell bound world. Whatever country you are in, and whatever language you speak, it is time. This is a call to the world!
