"my path has changed"

"Thank you Father for Your forgiveness, mercy, and love. Your Word is a lamp unto my feet, and my path has changed."

It's amazing how two sentences can so capture the essence of what Christ does in the heart of the believer.

"my path has changed."

No explanation given or needed. Just a simple statement. A declaration of faith, and it's evident results.

I don't know who wrote this simple statement, other than they are a member of my church. As I read it tonight, I didn't know whether to laugh, cry, shout, jump, or run laps around the little room that I was in, so I did a little bit of everything.

Not bad for a life-long stoic Baptist, huh?

Each week as I go into my church's prayer room I expect to meet God. It is a quiet place, a refuge, an anticipated place of peace in my busy life. In the stillness of that moment I find my Savior, the one who cares about each detail, each burden, and each moment of joy that is shared there. I leave there blessed, renewed, burdened, and convicted. I almost always leave knowing that I have reached the throne room of God.

"Thank you Father for Your forgiveness, mercy, and love. Your Word is a lamp unto my feet, and my path has changed."

Enough said.
