Rebirthday
Each February 17th, I celebrate my Rebirthday. Today marks 23 years in Christ Jesus. Over the course of these last couple days and into this weekend, I have been soaking in the Wonder and the Mystery of the salvation guaranteed to me by God through His Holy Spirit. Consider this, God the Father cursed the Son instead of me. I now stand as a redeemed treasure although my life, behavior, attitudes, and heart were rendered worthless by sin. Full credit was paid to my account without any option for me to merit it. I was dead, but now I live to lavish praise upon the Lord and become rich in my devotion to Him through zealous good works. Oh how great a salvation in Jesus Christ my Lord & Master!

Happy Birthday baby brother. I say that as my spiritual birthday was in March 1979, 28 years ago - got you by 5. The mystery of salvation for me is, why did he choose me? Why does the LORD and Creator of the Universe choose to call and make me his friend when what I deserve is His righteous condemnation and judgment. The movie Amazing Grace (the story of Wilberforce) has been released this weekend and next week our small group will be attending (in force for Wilberforce). What a great word to describe what God has done for me (and my family)- Amazing!
