Yesterday was a very busy day because I had errands to run before my swim aerobics class. So I did my usual devotional, listening to my praise songs as I read, prayed and worshipped. One of the songs suddenly caught my attention, so I wrote it down to come back to it later. It is speaking to me again, today, and I hope that it will speak to you. Each of us has a story to tell, a life that we are living to the best of our ability. But the real story is what Jesus has done in and through us. Glory to God!

How can I be braver, stronger and smarter? Because I know the Lord as my Savior. He is the only reason that today is better than yesterday and tomorrow holds the promise of being even better.

I do thank God daily that He is changing me to be more like Him, to make choices that line up more with His Word. If you have not accepted Jesus as your Savior, today is the day that you can start a new life with Him and start to write a better story. You can’t save yourself, but He already did. I ask you to think about one question today. Since Jesus died for you, what have you done for Him? He only asks one thing of you.
Following Jesus is a lifestyle choice. It means asking daily how you can serve Him that day and then doing it. It means stepping out of your comfort zone and speaking to strangers about your story. It means eternal life with Him in Heaven. I hope to see you there some day. Why don’t you start to write a new story with Jesus as the central character in your life? Blessings and prayers for a Jesus-filled day!

Thank you, Ryan. I go in for my final medical test before my surgery next week, on the 15th. My pre-op consultation is on Jan. 21st and my surgery is scheduled for Feb. 6th. For them to be in such a hurry at the beginning, everything seems to be moving slowly. But, I’m trusting God for His timing. I do really appreciate your prayers.

Your post leads me to wonder: What would my life, my outlook, my attitude look like if I were to follow Him more closely? What would change? Do I know how to follow Him more closely? What would happen if I prayed along those lines?

I want to follow more closely, too, Kathy. I’m working on it as He works on me.
