My Turning Point

Someone asked me a question. What was the turning point in my life? I really use to believe that I was living a successful, and glorious life living for myself. Everything that I did, and all my goals were centered around me. Me, Me, Me was how I live. Instant gratification. I could not accomplish any long turn goals because I always wanted instant results. I began working, and centering myself around people who showed me a different type of love. A love that was not based on my performance, or what I could do for them. It was the love of Christ. How did this change my life you may be asking? Many people go to church, and read their bibles which is great, but what happen was someone began to explain and show me how powerful the bible becomes when we live what it teaches. My attitude changed which affected my outlook on life. I was no longer consumed or a prisoner of my past or who I use to be, but was set free by the power of the Word of God. It was not a overnight process, but I made a decision within myself that I wanted what God has for me instead of settling for lies, and tricks of the enemy. I have made a decision to strive, and press forward each day regardless the challenges or struggles that I may face. It's a sad thing when we become a prisoner of our past. When we allow our past to cripple our dreams, and ambition for the future. When our best days are behind us and not in front of us. We all have a story, but when we connect and live for God it becomes His glory.
