9/11

Reading my friends devotional today has brought me back to that place of rememberance. For many this day is a reminder of all the lives lost...while I do remember that there is so much more meaning in today than just that. I am certain that the events of 9/11/01 are what led me to seek the truth and to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour.

Though I did orrigionally accept Him on 9/11 because I thought the world was going to end, I don't count this as when I came to Christ. My acceptance of Him on that day was motivated out of fear and not because I really believed. I say this because my conversion only lasted about a month and a half. Not much faith there, is there?

But in the months following I wanted to know what the truth was and though I didn't believe I searched. My search led me to accept Christ on 3/22/02. It is a decision that I am glad I made. Though I still have many struggles my decision has brought many good things into my life. I now have much more confidence in myself and am quite a lot happier. I never used to feel comforted, even when someone was trying to comfort me, but now every night when I go to bed I feel comforted. I do still feel lonely, but I know that God is at work in my life and that one day this will change.

I know that my friends who read this blog are all Christians, but I also know that this is a public blog and that people I don't know will be reading my words. So I urge you to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour because His death has paid the price for our sin, which separate us from Him. His blood has removed every obstacle so that we may come free to Him. If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour I urge you to do that now because the time is short and if you don't you will spend eternity separated from a God that loves you. I pray that the Holy Spirit will be at work in your heart making you restless until you have made your decision.
