Reborn

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

Just as Taylor resisted so firmly making her way into the world, I wonder how many of us are resisting taking steps into a new life with Christ or really allowing Him to lead us where we aren't comfortable. I really thought Taylor would be leaving the comfortable, dark cocoon of my womb and entering into the bright light and excitement of this world. We have a choice… we CAN leave spiritual darkness and be “born” into a new life…a life lighted by the light of Jesus Christ. He is a light that shines brightly in this world. His is a light that carries many through the darkest times. He wants you to trust Him to leave where we’re comfortable and take the chance.

Does it mean all is perfect and problem-free? Ummm...absolutely NOT! But, God wants us to have a relationship with Him and let Him lead us. (That's a tough one to swallow sometimes, well, a lot of the time.) Will everything make sense right away? Of course not, but thankfully, we have time here on earth to figure some of it out.

I often thought there would be other ways to heaven, but if there were, why would God send His only Son to earth from heaven where all is perfect? Not only that, why would God send His only Son knowing that Jesus would be mocked, ridiculed, and put to death? After becoming a Mom, I realized even more so, there could be no other way that a Father would allow His Son to go through such things if there were any other answer. God did that for you and for me. Take a chance, make a choice. Research...God gave us intelligent minds to figure things out for ourselves. He wants you to want Him. He already loves you!

I never imagined Taylor being born into a world of complete darkness. I thought she’d be leaving the darkness as soon as she was born. But let me tell you of the light she brings forth. I realize she may live in the dark but she walks in the Light!
