The video.....
was sent to me by Doug's Aunt Dawn (Hi Dawn, love you!) and brought me to tears. I think I have seen it about 5 times now and have shed tears each time I see it. It is such a reflection of my life, coming to know Christ at an early age, becoming distracted by the things of this world and all the while getting farther and farther away from the One who loves me and knows me best. I remember so specifically when I decided to fight my way back to Him and He has given me an amazing life and complete forgiveness for my past. Scripture tells us that God stepped out of heaven to destroy sin's hold on us and He did this so that we could live forever with Him. Through Christ, I am no longer a slave to sin but by yielding to the Holy Spirit in me, there is true life and peace for me! I am so very thankful. Even as a christian, though, there are struggles with priorities in relation to Christ--making sure He is my #1 is still something I need to keep in check everyday. With so many demands: work, family, chores, friends, blogging, home group, etc. I need to be sure that none of these things, as wonderful as they all are, are causing me to put distance between me and my Lord. I hope this video touches you in some way also!
