He Stole so Much From Me

Scripture: John 10: [10] The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Observation: I look back at the first 46 years of my life and it saddens me how I wasted it. The devil stole much from me and I allowed him to do it. I was selfish, self-centered, unloving not knowing what to do. I tried to destroy myself six different times, but God was always there, I don’t know what He saw that was worth savings, but I’m glad He did. What a different life it has been when I received Jesus as my Lord and savior. What a wonderful guide He is and patient.

Application: I need to draw nearer to my Lord so that I can experience the life that He has planned for me. He has given me life and purpose here on earth and also a new home for all eternity, because of His sacrifice for me. I want to enjoy this new life He has given me and make a difference in His name until it is time to go home.

Prayer: Dear Lord thank you for taking me out of Satin’s hands. You grabbed me before I was totally destroyed. Thank you for this new life that you have given me, may I use it in glory and honor to you.
