Conveyor Belt

That is the first thing that comes to mind after reading this verse, "being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (‭Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬ NIV). When someone chooses to accept Christ as their personal savior, we should definitely not expect a life that has absolutely no problems and is a life of perfection. Nope, sorry folks that just won't happen. Until, and yes there is a big until. Until the day we come face to face with Jesus. Amen, do you believe that?

When I first became a born-again believer, I can remember having an internal change of heart and was as they sometimes call it, "on fire" for God. I wanted to tell everyone about God, and what He did, and utilized my in born peppyness, energy, and cheerful and bubbly personality to spread the good news about Jesus! I began to be really active at my past church at the time, singing at services and everything. Wow, talk about a first love right? People back then probably thought I had no problems and was living basically a perfect life.

Well, I was not living a perfect life.That 'fire' probably lasted a few months or weeks or maybe even days, I can't remember anymore. I do remember falling away from that 'fire and passionate zeal" I had for God and enjoying the worldly life.  I was in college and took full advantage of the college life. Until, God woke me up and it was the best wake up call ever! I would soon be dealing with Multiple Sclerosis, and God allowed it. I don't believe he gave it to me.  But, I do believe He allowed it. Now, I wouldn't say I have the same fire I initially had but I came back to God when he woke me up.

I see it like I was on a conveyor belt and when it was my turn for God to do some fixing, perhaps He thought I will allow Sam to get MS and maybe she will find ways to use it for my glory!' That was a total guess lol So, you see how I am thinking.  I hate having MS for various reasons, but I love God and I will still be laying on that conveyor belt until He will carry me on to completion of making me perfect! Until the day of Christ Jesus!
