Awakened to Eternal Life: A Journey of Spiritual Transformation

Awakened to a New Reality

As I stood at the threshold of my spiritual journey, I heard a gentle knock on the door of my heart. It was Jesus, inviting me to open up and let Him in. “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.” (Revelation 3:20)

A Life-Changing Encounter

Recently, I stumbled upon a familiar scene from the movie “Thelma & Louise” while flipping through TV channels. The dialogue between the two lead characters struck a chord:

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.

A New Perspective

This conversation reminded me of the transformative moment when Jesus became the center of my life. It was as if I had been living in a state of spiritual slumber, and He awakened me to a new reality. There was life before Jesus, and life after Jesus. I am eternally grateful that He knocked on the door of my life and invited Himself in.

Reflection Time

Take a moment to reflect on your own spiritual journey:

  • Do you remember the moment when you made Jesus the center of your existence? How has life changed for you since then?
  • How awake are you today? Are you living a life that is fully surrendered to God?

A Prayer for Awakening

Jesus, You are my Awakening and my Life. Breathe on me today and fill my body with life, that I may worship You with all that I am.
