“I Will Bear Witness”
by Dona Hake
Yesterday in my prayer time, I began to reflect back on the evening when God broke through my stubborn heart, and I surrendered all to Him. In that moment I became a new creature in Christ, and the weight of my sin melted away, and I felt what true freedom really was. Isn’t it amazing what a miracle it was when our hearts were made clean and whole by the work of our Lord? I can still remember leaning over and whispering in my friend’s ear during the alter call… “I did it, I asked Jesus in my heart!“ She had been praying for me for years, and together we rejoiced!
I encourage you to reflect often on that moment you were set free, and you became a new creature in Christ. You know, we can never forget this for this was when the prison doors of our hearts were unlocked by the living God! It was then that our hearts were washed of our sin, and a fresh new life was made for us!
Today as we serve the living God may we walk in an awareness that He walks beside us, He goes before us, and behind us is a forgotten and forgiven past. Now that which follows us is only goodness and mercy all the days of our life! We are truly blessed people!
Psalm 71:15-16 The Voice Translation
…I will bear witness to Your merciful acts;
throughout the day I will speak of all the ways You deliver,..”
“…I will come with stories of Your great acts, my Lord, the Eternal…”
