Today we conclude our series on “Becoming”. It’s also my husband and I’s 39th wedding anniversary. As I write this I think of all the things I have become in these 39 years. I became a bride. Shortly thereafter I became a wife. Then 4 years later I became a mother. Not long after that I became a bereaved mother with the loss of my firstborn. Amy Elizabeth born March 31st, 1980 died April 16th, 1980. Sixteen short days that to this day continues to affect my life. Time was ticking by and I was becoming the woman who I am today. If I continued you would see I am not so different from anyone of you reading this today. A broken hearted sister because she lost her brother at his young age of 18. A granddaughter trying to find a place to put her granddaddy’s departure to heaven. With every life that enters our life and with every life that leaves our life we become someone different. People come into our life and we are changed. People leave our life and we are changed.
The greatest change takes place when Jesus comes into someone’s life. Our eternal resting place changes but the greater change is how we change in our hearts when the great exchange takes place. The main difference between when Jesus comes into our life compared to others is that Jesus will never leave our life. He assures us that He has only left us temporarily to prepare a place for us and as assurance He has sent the Holy Spirit to put His seal upon us until the day He returns for us.
When Jesus comes into our heart He changes our life. It’s no longer us who lives but Christ who lives inside of us that changes the way we think, what we do, what we say and the way we live. So what? So what are you doing with the “Who” you are becoming because of Who lives inside of you? If you need help with that find yourself a good Bible and a good Pastor. It takes both to become the best version of you. No one is promised tomorrow so use today to the best of your ability. Become the best version of you—you can be.
