The Desire Not To Be Me

There was a time I was just me quite happy that way thought I ok but deep inside I didn't know something not right in my piece of clay I lived with eyes that couldn't see a mind that truly didn't really know having a heart that had no feeling spiritually it was just status quo But then a day arrived out of the blue I heard an alarm bell sounding a ring looking back now it was God's spirit planting a desire to fly my wing My heart was open for the first time felt a desire for God this to agree learn from Him all that's true the desire not to be me! God gave the desire to know Himself rid me of the old self no longer a friend living in Christ my saviour and king and my life was never the same again (This is penned focusing on the thought "...and my life was never the same again'' describing a life-changing moment in my life the moment God changed me for eternally.)

What a wonderful testimony Gordon. As it says in Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live; yet not I but Christ liveth in me and the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of The Son Of God who loved me and gave Himself for me." Great writing Gordon. Thanks for sharing this. God Bless, JB

This draws my mind to a favourite Scripture "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! (II Cor 5:17) Wonderful poetic telling of your testimony, my brother. Praise God for his power to convert water into wine!
