I Just Want My Life To Be Acceptable to the Lord: A Birthday Reflection I turned 46 years of age today. I am so thankful for the Happy Birthday wishes my friends have already sent to me. As meditated this morning upon my birthday, I didnt think about how I wanted to celebrate today. Instead, I thought about the journey in my life. I thought about where I have been, who I have been, what I have done, where I am, who I am, what I am, as well as where I still have to go, who I still need to become and what I still need to do. I thought about how I was born as an unwanted child and given away when I was just a few months of age. I spent most of my life searching for what I thought I had lost. Then the Lord showed me that He knew what was best for me through it all. The Holy Spirit put a specific Word in my remembrance this morning: For at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord.- Ephesians 5:8, 9 My friends I am convinced that, had it not been for the Lord Jesus Christ, I would have been in the graveyard in my teens. My life was one of passionate self destruction. So all I can think about today- and everyday- is just how thankful I am for the love and grace of God. Moreover, how I need to have an even greater sense of urgency to walk as a child of light. I continue to ask the Lord: Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!- Psalm 139:123, 124 Thank you, Jesus for bringing me this far. Furthermore, Lord, if you never do another thing for me, and I dont live to see another day- you have already done enough! Bless the Lord!
