Today is the Day to Change Your Life

2 Corinthians 5:17 - "Therefore if any man [be] in Christ, [he is] a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

When God saves us, we are made new, but we have to be willing to give our hearts to God, and this doesn't always happen instantly. When I got saved, I kept a lot of my bad habits, even though I knew that they were wrong; I wasn't strong enough at the time to give them up. As time went on, the guilt kept building and building inside of me because I knew that I was sinning against God. I am now at the point that the burden is becoming too much to bear, which is why I have decided to make some drastic changes. 

Throughout my life, I have made many mistakes; the biggest one for me is how I have shut my heart off to love. Even after becoming saved, I did this, which is incredibly wrong of me to do. I haven't loved my family like they have loved me. I haven't said 'I love you' like I should, or said 'thank you' like I should, but I have decided to change that today. No longer am I going to let love feel like a weakness to me, because it's not, it's the greatest strength that we could ever have. Today is the day that I'm going to devote to having a more loving heart, and to express that love better than I ever have before.

I want to be held to this commitment that I am making today, which is why I am posting it in a blog post. I want others to see that I am making a devotion to God, and it should be kept no matter what. I want to be held accountable for what I do. It's about time that I take this leap of faith, and I hope that others will not wait like I did, and change their life today.
