Christ

I can feel a change in the air. Have you ever had a moment in your life where you can specifically pin point a drastic change? I've had one recently. My husband commanded me to walk away from an evil situation. And I obeyed that. And I can honestly say from that moment on, my life has been filled with peace and joy. I have found friends that I never knew I would ever find. I have grown more in my faith in the last six weeks. I feel different. I have a different perspective and outlook on life. I mean, I'm not going to deny that my husband being deployed isn't hard, or that I don't still get angry over injustice, or occasionally want revenge. All of those things are still my reality. But I have joy. I have joy that I haven't felt for a long time.

Christ transforms minds. You either know Him or you don't. There isn't a grey area, or a loose definition on that. You are either changed (or being changed), or your not. I don't want to be stagnant. I don't want to stand still wondering what the heck I'm doing. I want to KNOW that my actions, my thoughts are pleasing to Christ. Let's be honest, this world is filled with evil. It's filled with selfish people, liars, greedy people, sexually immoral people, idolaters, etc etc etc. I could list ten thousand things that are completely AGAINST Christ. But, on the flip side of all of that evil, is Jesus. There He is in His glory and righteousness and holiness changing lives. He is pouring out his grace and mercy and consuming spirits. He is lifting people up who have been crippled with sin and broken by lack of faith. And He is bringing healing. Healing beyond what anyone can say.
