Take a look back at this new life.  One year, five years, ten, it is almost indescribable the distance the Lord has brought me.  Whether being carried, cajoled, prodded, assisted or chased, He has delivered on His promises to make me a new creature and conform me to His likeness.  There is no doubt.  I also have the grace-filled benefit of having watched hundreds of other babes in Christianity, become Spirit filled believers and subsequently become completely different people in Christ.  Family members, friends, business colleagues, people I have been blessed to minister to have over a relatively short period of time have become joyous, active participants in the Kingdom, their families and communities.  I do not deserve such a gift but once again God showers me with undeserved benefits.  What a loving Father.

There is no where else I could contemplate going but forward in this new life.  It is like watching new babies being born, which I could imagine must be the coolest of medical professions.  Their is something about watching things grow that prohibits the denial of God in the process.  Being witness to the life changing effect that the Lord Jesus Christ has on the lives of once dead people is all the testimony that we need to evidence the truth of the Gospel.  I will take this truth to all who will hear, for He loves them so much He wants that all should come to Him.  Praise You Lord for this awesome gift.  Let me use it wisely for Your Kingdom and Glory.  Amen.
