Psalm 51:12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.
I remember when God spoke to me. I was at a club in Starkville at the age 19 and He called my name. Firstly, I did not want to go. The reason I went was because people were depending on me to go. In a way I felt like I had to go to please them, but Jesus called me. He called me in my mess. There were drunk people, loud music, I was cursing all night, & I had a skimpy dress on. I felt out of place. He asked me what was I doing in there and to come Home(to Him). I never looked back. My whole life changed from then on out. It was funny because my father is sick and right before I went to college my father told me there will be days I will have to stand alone and I cried. At the time, I did not realize what He was saying, but it touched me. God was speaking through my dad in regards of my salvation. As soon as I gave my life to Jesus, I knew EXACTLY what my father was saying. I was and have been alone at times during my salvation, but I was not LONELY. When on the flip side, when I was a sinner I was not alone, but lonely. There would be people around, but my heart was empty. There is a reason why Jesus says He will never forsake us because He knows there will be times when He is REALLY all we have. We can't call mom, dad, best friend, wife, husband, bro, sis, etc...all the time. They are only human and are unable to do what He can do for us.
I share my personal salvation because I think about it so much. It is the root of my Joy! When everything goes wrong I think about the beauty of my relationship with Jesus. It is awesome to be saved. My salvation showed me that God was not looking for perfection. He was looking for affection. Someone who cares and wants to genuinely live for Him with no strings attached. Isn't that what we want? Well we get that yearning from God. Salvation isn't an obstacle course or an initiation process. It is gaining a passionate relationship with Christ. This is not some ordinary relationship. Salvation does not equal up to any relationship we will ever find. It's breath taking, worth wild, mind blowing, and an opportunity to live with Jesus forever. If you are not saved I urge you to say yes to Jesus now. There is a void we all have tried or are trying to fill that only Jesus can fill. Don't just go by what others have said about Jesus, including me. Get to know Him for yourself and I promise you will not regret it! David said oh taste and see that The Lord is good. Even in all his mess God never LEFT David and that is what we need in life, Stability, assurance, comfort, REAL LOVE that begins and ends in Jesus! If you desire to be saved, say this prayer: Lord, I thank you for dying for me! I also realize that my life is meaningless without You. I am tired of living my life without a purpose. I give myself to You! I am ready to live for You and only You until your return. In Jesus Name, Amen!
For those of you who are saved, I ask that you reflect on the day that He saved you. Continue to keep that in your hearts and let that comfort you in times of despair because that is The only guaranteed thing we as Christians posses, our relationship with Christ. Say yes in your storm. Jesus said yes when dying for the sins of the world. What would of happened if He said no? I surely don't want to know because I say YES! Yes to Your Will and Yes to Your Way. My way has taken me to destruction every time. Lord, YES in my storm and YES in my night season. I still say, YES!
