The
best 10 years of my life
Acts
20:24 (The Voice) …The only value I place on my life is that I may finish my
race, that I may fulfill the ministry that Jesus our King has given me, that I
may gladly tell the good news of God’s grace.
I’m sure May 2, 2006, the day God’s presence
become real for me and my life changed, will be pale in comparison to heaven. Since
God awakened me, I’ve lived in constant awareness that life on Earth isn’t “it.”
This is not my final destination and the thought excites me. What will happen
when I see His face?
Meanwhile, my mission gets more urgent.
While these have been the best years of my life, it hasn’t been easy. I’ve
faced losses and disappointments. But I’m no longer desperate through tough
times. I’m also not easily discouraged because my Lifeline is constantly with
me.
God is powerful. Two things enhance my walk: deep, sold-out love and reading His word.

Love
The Lord commands us to LOVE HIM WITH
ALL OUR HEART, SOUL AND MIND (Mark 12:30). Love has to be genuine or it’s fake.
You can only love God if you know Him. Showing up at church, tithing or doing
good deeds without loving and knowing Him don’t matter.
Bible-reading
Our generation is fortunate to have
God-breathed written instructions for life (2 Timothy 3:16). I believe
revelation from God comes through Bible-reading. But it wasn’t easy to get into
the Bible-reading groove until the Holy Spirit gave me the capacity
to “get it.” God will open your mind to understand what you need to know. Use
good theological resources so you understand context and meaning.
I’m looking forward to the next 10 years!
