I feel as if I always start my morning post the same way. As I have said numerous times, I am not a writer and really have trouble expressing my thoughts. Often, what I feel in my heart rarely makes it to the tips of my fingers to type. Quite regularly, and maybe even more often, what's in my heart, often can not make its way to my lips to be spoken. As a couple of us were talking yesterday evening, I often find myself going down a thought path, only to find where I thought I was going, I never wind up there. LOL
I woke up a little before 4:00 this morning to this great old song. It is another one of those great old songs I have enjoyed hearing for a long time. I believe it was written in the early 70's by Gloria Gaither. I believe the last time I heard it was as I watching the recorded video service of a good friend's brother.
I lay there for a few minutes this morning, thinking about this song and why this song this morning? I reflected back on the time and place I accepted Jesus as my Savior. I had been in Church, Sunday School, Prayer Meetings, and Revivals my entire life, yet one Sunday night, I realized I needed to give my heart to Jesus. We have all had different lives, different backgrounds, different experiences. Some good, some bad and some just downright horrible. I have been so blessed my entire life and I am so very grateful for this. But there are others who have had struggles and faced difficult times. But regardless of the differences, there is one thing we all have or had in common and that is the need to accept Jesus as our Savior.
There have been many songs written about the change in our lives when Jesus comes into our hearts. I'm glad to start my day with, "The Old Rugged Cross Made The Difference". I hope you will also be blessed by hearing it today.
