Then and now

... Posted in Faith and the Gospel

I have wondered, on occasion, just how my life has really changed since I got saved about 11 years ago. I mean, I don't have this amazing testimony of those who were into drugs and such, and were completely transformed.... to most people I knew, I already had a goody-two-shoes reputation, so what kind of difference was really visible?

I got my answer this week.

I realized that it's not what other people saw, it's what God saw, and it wasn't pretty. He saw what what others didn't- or at least wouldn't tell about. He saw my heart. And it was UGLY.

Back then, blogs weren't even a glimmer in Bill Gates's eye. But, if I had written one, it would have sounded much like one I recently read some of. I saw my own lost attitudes, the things that were once important to me.  I realized how much I have changed-- in the place that counts the most. Inside. I also realized how much I never want to be that person again. And so very, very glad I am a Child of God.
