I was blessed to celebrate my 35th birthday this past weekend. On my actual birthday of February 28th, I began thinking about my walk with Christ. I began to reflect on my personal relationship with Him. I began to think about my actions and my words on a day to day basis. And I was also reminded of how important it was to make sure that I was rightly aligned with Christ. I was reminded that each year, while I am maturing in age, I should also mature in my walk with Him.
I should continue to strive yearly, daily, hourly-even-, etc. to be more like Him. He reminded me that I should not allow my years to multiply, while my faith is held stagnant, in my years multiplying. God's overall plan is for us all to simply be more like Him. The only way that we can become more like Him, is if we spend time with Him, and in Him. We must learn to seek Him more and more with our whole heart, and as we do, we become more like Him. We must realize just how short and precious life is, and that we should absolutely invest in living it the right way. It is a known fact that one day, all of us will leave this place. And how tragic it would be for our time to come, and we miss God, because we simply did not use our time wisely on Earth? We need to take time to evaluate whether or not, we are rightly aligned with Christ. "Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting". (Psalm 139:23-24)
So as I turned 35 this year, I want to remind everybody to take the time to reflect on where they are in life-at this very moment. And in doing so, make sure that you are rightly aligned with Him. For when that time comes, and if we are not ready, we will miss the opportunity to reach our heavenly home, and we will miss the opportunity to spend eternity with our heavenly Father. And if we ever get to this point, there will be no chance for redemption and forgiveness for us or for the lives we lived! Don't wait until it is too late! Please take heed of the importance of aligning yourself with Him! Nothing is ever worth you missing the eternal glory and blessings that He has in store for us, when we get there!
