Today's Walk With the Lord - The Lord Brings Us Near

Good Morning,
 
As I was doing my prayer walk this morning, I realized that the Lord drew me nearer to Him over these last few years. Nearer I have come to Him, the more sanctified my life has become. I look forward to further growing closer to the Lord and the life I will lead for Him, through Him and for Him.
 
What was suprising to me in this realization this morning was that the Lord called to me even though I had lived a life of sin. That I was involved in magical rituals, the occult, Scientology, tarot and other practices which the Lord considers disgusting and sinful.
 
That through all that I was, and what I did, the Lord peered through it and called me to come to Him. And as I journied to Him, my life as a Christian blossomed and sinful nature, activities and behaviors of my past have been dropping away.
 
Again I say, I am not the man I know the Lord wants me to be, but thank God I am not the man I used to be.
 
Praise the Lord!
 
Sanford
