1 Corinthians 6:11
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Good morning, family & friends!
Yesterday was a very special day for me, as it marked the 51st year since I became a born again Christian. On that day, May 1, 1965, I was filled with the Holy Ghost, and I spoke with tongues as they did on the Day of Pentecost so long ago. I found out God's Spirit is really real, and it remains real after all these years. I am overwhelmed both at the sweetness and power of the Holy Ghost that resides within me. How very blessed I am!!
Today, I remember back to this date in 1983, when our youngest son, Benjamin, was born. Another blessing in May; and once again, I am grateful to be born again and a mother. Two sweet blessings. God has been so good to me.
When I think of the big city of Chicago where I grew up, and that God saved my family out of so many there.... I am in awe of His grace and mercy.
This song came to my mind, and it speaks what my heart feels:
He Saw What I Could Be
by Dan Dean
Verse One
A loser without direction
I drifted aimlessly
On the back side of a placed called "Nowhere"
Forgotten by humanity
When they talked about potential
They did not refer to me
'Cause everyone could clearly see
What I am, I'd always be
Chorus
But He saw not what I was
He saw what I could be
When He reached His hand to where I was
He made a change in me
For all He had to hope for
Was just a possibility
Still He saw not what I was
He saw what I could be
Verse Two
So now you know the reason
I lift my hands so willingly
If He hadn't found me when He did
I'd be lost as lost could be
And although I'm far from perfect
I'm even farther still you see
From the life I lived just yesterday
Before the Lord found me
May God bless you all on this Marvelous Monday. Rejoice in Him. Be glad in Him.
Until tomorrow.......
