When I read, I like to highlight meaningful thoughts. In Billy Graham's book, The Journey, he provides a list of seven gifts God gives us when we commit to Christ. I have changed the "us" and "we" to "I" and "me" in order to make it personal.
Rev. Graham's list is broken down as follows:
1. God gave me a new relationship. I am now His friend and He is mine.
2. God gave me a new citizenship. I am a citizen of the kingdom of God.
3. God gave me a new family. I am now a member of God's household.
4. God gave me a new purpose. Now I live for Christ and not just for myself.
5. God gave me a new power. God, Himself, came to live within me by His Holy Spirit. I am never alone. He is my helpmate.
6. God gave me a new destiny. Once I was headed to hell, now I am headed for heaven.
7. God gave me a whole new path to follow until He comes to take me home.
Rev. Graham goes on to say, "When we make a decision for Christ, it isn't an end but a beginning." When we commit to God, the best is yet to come!
