Today’s Devotional Fashion By The Faith of A Young Lady That Is Being Tailored For The King: Tracy Koweh
The Time of My Life
1 Peter 4:13 (New Living Translation)
13 Instead, be very glad—for these trials make you partners with Christ in his suffering, so that you will have the wonderful joy of seeing his glory when it is revealed to all the world.
Today’s message in the music comes from the chorus of the famous song from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, “I’ve Had the Time of My Life”. The entire chorus says: “I've had the time of my life. No I never felt this way before. Yes I swear it's the truth.
And I owe it all to you. 'Cause I've had the time of my life. And I've searched through every open door. 'Til I found the truth. And I owe it all to you”
I have always loved this song simply because of the dance lift in the end of the movie, but I never truly listened to the words of the song. As I sat in church this past Sunday and this song played in my spirit, it gave me a renewed love for Chirst. This year has been one of many ups and downs. Many missed opportunities, regrettable choices and wasted time, but it’s also been one of the greatest years of my life. I’ve been exposed to, expanded and excited about things I never ever dreamed I would be again. And not because of anything I did, but because of the new level of truth God had allowed me to experience in Him.
Like so many, I had been chasing after so many things, people and resources that were not the truth. They were masked in what I had believed to be the real deal, only to later disappoint and hurt me. It wasn’t until I was able to look past the idea of what I thought my life was suppose to look like, and allow God to show me what His vision for my life was, that I was able to sit back and enjoy the ride…………..bumps and all. See when you’ve come to a place of realizing that God is going to get you to your destiny, the road blocks, speed bumps and minor blows are no longer set backs to you, but set ups.
Today as we enter into the final days before Christmas, let us determine to have the greatest life we can possibly have. This walk is something kind of crazy and scary with Christ, but if you can just relax and trust Him, it will be all worth it in the end. The choice is yours, today choose Him, and like Baby in the movie……… don’t be afraid to leap into His arms, and know that no matter what, He will always catch you.
