A One-Minute Testimony of My Life

I was born in 1951 and reborn in Jesus 24 years later. 

My decision to follow Jesus transformed my life. It's the most important aspect of who I am.

Yes, when I committed my life to Christ in 1974, I discovered the wonderful love of Jesus, gained a deep awareness of my sinfulness, and understood my need for God. Through the years, Christ has taught me so much! 

I haven't always been a fast learner. I've gone through stages where I was too legalistic, having the wrong focus. I struggled with difficulties and had the wrong questions. And I've let myself get disillusioned by the wrong perspective.

But I've never quit believing and I'm determined to never quit growing. I hope that even on the last day of my life I learn something new in God's Word!

I have made Philippians 3:12-14 my prayer:

"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me....Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

What's the most important thing about you? Do you know my Lord Jesus? Are you "pressing on"?

If you've never committed your life to Christ, please read my Bible Love Notes post on Eternal Life and my Bite Size Bible Study post on Eternal Life. They are each a bit different, but they'll give you a full understanding of genuine faith in Christ.

Note: I originally wrote this on my 62nd birthday, explaining how much I appreciated my 1300 subscribers and asking them if they had any suggestions for devotions. You will see responses to this in the comments. My subscribers have increased through the years with over 28,000 in 2020. But I would still like to hear your suggestions in comments. Thanks. Gail
