"TODAY IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE"

THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THIS SAYING, I WAS STRUCK WITH SUCH REALITY THAT I... NO LONGER HAD TO LIVE IN THE CHAINS OF SIN AND DEATH, AND THAT MY PARDON HAD BEEN FULLY PAID AND I WAS NO LONGER A CHILD OF HELL, BUT THE ADOPTED SON OF A KING; I DIDN'T FULLY UNDERSTAND THE  NOTION OF THIS, BUT I DID KNOW THAT GOD WAS OPENING MY EYES TO SEE HIM IN THE FULLNESS OF HIS GLORY;

                                  eternity... is the thought that comes to mind 

i so many times find my self looking back on my past and the failures that i have done, 

                              so may times i walked against the King of glory;

and i am reminded every time of how much Christ gave up for my sake, He loved us so much that He left the splendor of heaven, He gave up the nearness of His father that we may be able to call HIM ours, 

                                                              why? 

why out of so many people did he choose to rescue me and you? i have heard so many people ask that question, year after year that saying still remains with me 

                      " today is the first day of the rest of your life "    

               and tomorrow is pure and free with no mistakes in it 

    may the lamb that was slain receive the 

                rewards for His suffering!
