Awakened to Life
As I stood at the threshold of my spiritual journey, I heard a gentle knock. It was Jesus, waiting to enter and dine with me, just as He promised in Revelation 3:20. Little did I know, my life was about to take a dramatic turn.
A Wake-Up Call
Recently, I stumbled upon a familiar scene from the movie “Thelma & Louise.” The conversation between the two main characters resonated deeply with me:
Thelma: Are you awake?
Louise: I guess you could call it that. My eyes are open.
Thelma: Me too. I feel awake … Wide awake. I never remember feeling this awake. Know what I mean? Everything looks different.
From Slumber to Awakening
I recall the moment Jesus became the central figure in my life. It was as if I had been living in a state of spiritual hibernation, and He gently shook me awake. My existence was forever divided into two eras: life before Jesus and life after Jesus. I am eternally grateful for His persistence in knocking on the door of my heart.
Reflections
Take a moment to reflect on your own spiritual journey:
- Do you remember the precise moment when you surrendered to Jesus’ love and made Him the center of your existence?
- How has your life transformed since then?
Today’s Awakening
As I sit in stillness, I ask myself: How awake am I today? Is my heart attuned to the gentle whispers of the Holy Spirit? I invite you to join me in this prayer:
Jesus, You are my Awakening and my Life. Breathe on me today, filling my body with life, that I may worship You with every fiber of my being.
