Have you ever considered what your life would be like if you had never accepted Christ? The busyness of our lives doesn't always lend itself to introspection, but we should probably make some time to ponder this all important question. Why is it important, you may ask? I think remembering where we've come from and where we are now is very important to the maturation process of a Christian. I think it is also important for us to think of how our lives may have developed had we not surrendered to God and allowed His Holy Spirit to mold us into all He knows we could be. We might find that the potential alternative to the path we've taken will appear rather dark and ugly by comparison. There are rewards in heaven for those who remain faithful and live according to God's precepts. Scripture tells us that we could never even begin to imagine what God has in store for us on the other side.
1 Corinthians 2:9 (NLT) - "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him."
