Once upon a time I was a Caterpillar

My Theme for the Day is:

You can think back, but do not stay there.

“He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.” Ps. 40:2

Our memories can be a book of experiences that have helped fashion you into who you are today. If I should delve back into my early chapters, I can remember getting myself into many dire consequences! Although the therapists of today would have counseled me with many excuses, and blamed the circumstances on my environment and the way I’d been raised. The truth to the matter is that we all can think independently for ourselves. Yes, it is true that our thinking can be swayed according to what we have learned in our youth. We still learned right from wrong. We just didn’t think about the end result of our behavior at the time.

I remember singing the above verse after I was born again and unable to stop crying. This still happens once in awhile. I was once in that horrible miry pit and I was unable to free myself. Only, when I fell upon my knees and admitted I messed up my life and needed forgiveness did God reach down and set me totally free. My eyes were opened to the truth like a light going on inside of me and that torch has never dimmed. The truth really does set you free.
