Welcome to Breakthroughs in Life!
A New Creation!...A Fresh Beginning!... Indeed, for me and for you who can believe THIS, Here It Is and TODAY IS!
How grateful I really am and how I love this precious Gift of Life as an All-Time Present Unmerited.
In hindsight, I could not have discerned and appreciated at its finest the Profundity, Beauty, & Blessedness of this Fresh Beginning, had I not experienced once upon a time and then understood what it meant to be enslaved, battered, and rendered helpless physically and emotionally by that nightmarish and ugly past.
To me, what turned out unfortunate and humiliating all throughout my odd and bloody journey until Reawakening and Refreshing is, my dilly-dallying in heeding what have been said over and over again concerning the Will & Testament of The Savior & Lord Christ Jesus. Only a little later did I come to know that the Savior & Lord would always be there all along watching and calling on me. My taking it for granted would cost me one misfortune after another before the stubborn “old self” within succumbed to helplessness, only to surrender in the end. Only then would the eye-opening adversities bring home new meaning as disguised blessings along with self-induced punishment.
Unfathomable, indeed, are the ways of the Merciful & Gracious Lord. Really, His promises of abundant blessings & rewards remain restrained until the old self is totally stripped of its every vestige of pride and lust.
Well then, the remarkable “Breakthrough in my life” came in an unspeakable manner & mode. What turned out obvious though is my eventual waking up to finding new meaning to life, seasoned with renewed vigor, enthusiasm, and willingness to restart anew in a decisive come-back for good. And, TODAY, my immediate circle of friends in the neighborhood and associates, along with my nuclear family are witnessing this New Life and New Day that I’m testifying.
Now, I can also testify that somehow the adversities in the PAST, no matter how unpleasant, need not be dismissed as hostile in the ironic sense that it signaled as a “wake up call” and a challenge to rise up as a man of age reared to reclaim the lost Image and Glory which every man was meant to bear as revealed even from the very beginning, and that is, MAN (Character-wise) is made in the Eternal Creator’s LIKENESS & IMAGE.
To The Good Lord be The Glory, and to every living soul bearing, nourishing, and caring in his person the moral character of his Maker Righteousness, Peace, Joy, Love, & Goodwill here and now onward to eternity.
