i was reminded today of the immense privilege of being loved and chosen by the King...
"
I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land. I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules. You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God." -Ezekiel 36:24-28
Some people may ask: How do you know God exists?
He exists because knowing Him has changed me. He has given me a new heart and a new spirit, which has given me new motivations and a new direction in life. It is definitely not something that I could have done on my own, because the Bible shows me that throughout the Old Testament, no one is righteous without God. We all have hearts of stone! It is only in the New Testament that we see people changed to be soldiers for Christ, willing to risk their lives, material comforts and status to further God's kingdom.
I'm so thankful that God has brought these 'dry bones' to life, breathed life into them, so that I can live for Him. I know that He will continue to enable me to do so, because He has begun this good work in me (: God is so good (:
