Happy Anniversary to _______.
Anniversaries are often talked about and mentioned
on Face Book; with congratulations and best wishes given to the happy
participants.
But there is one anniversary that never seems to be
mentioned. This is the anniversary of the first time God touched a life.
That first anniversary, when the knowledge that the
Son of God, Jesus Christ had died for the sins of all, so we might be able to stand
at the throne of God cleansed and forgiven of sins.
That first anniversary when the Power of the Holy
Spirit first came, pushing out the evil and the bad to fill the soul with pure joy.
Sixty years ago when I was eight, I first felt that
touch. I listened to the preacher, really listened and felt the conviction deep
within my soul. When the call to the altar came, I felt an almost physical push
to the front.
God, His Son and the Holy Spirit in my heart and
soul have been with me since my baptism. I have stumbled so many times but I
had the rope of salvation around me and God pulled me back to Him each and
every time.
So Happy Anniversary to ME. By the grace of God I am
saved.
You can have that same inner peace. Simply accept
Jesus Christ as your Savior and invite Him into your heart. Trust me it will be
an anniversary that you will never regret.
