25 year anniversary

Today marks the day that I've always celebrated as the day I gave my life to Christ. I was only 5 years old but I know, since that day, God's Spirit has been working in my life and changing me into who he made me to be. So much change even in this year. I remember a song from my story that is based off this verse:

All we like sheep have gone astray;

    we have turned—every one—to his own way;

and the Lord has laid on him

    the iniquity of us all.     

Isaiah 53:6

I know that I still try to follow my own way - the sin nature is still trying to come back to life - but I know full well that my iniquity has been paid for and my Lord lives in me! I want to live fully and free in his grace he gave to me and anyone who would call on his name and believe. 

If you need details, I wrote a post in 2010 detailing my memories of that night, in the basement of my old church, when I gave my heart to Christ.
