Yesterday was the anniversary of my coming to know Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. It was 1999, and my search of 40 years for the Messiah had come to a close and the beginning of my walk with Him was about to begin. I could never have written a fiction story which would have rivaled the non-fiction journey of these past nineteen years. A Jewish man coming to a faith in a Jewish man who lived 2000 years ago, who came to bring the Jewish people of the First Century to a closer and more personal relationship with the God of the Universe.
It would be hard to put into a blog-length narrative, what these past nineteen years have been like. There have high highs and low lows, but then again the past 72 years have been a series of high highs and low lows. Life has not gotten harder or easier because life is always hard or easy depending on the attitude we have toward what we are presently experiencing. But life is simpler when we know that there is always Someone with us to guide us through (not around) the highs and lows. When our focus is on a better tomorrow and an eternal hope, life is easier to navigate and endure. An attitude of thankfulness and gratitude for what Jesus did, does and promises to do on our behalf, is what gets us to the next step on the journey, and one step closer to the final "well done" we so eagerly look forward to. Thank You, Lord, for the past 19. The Best is yet to come.
