Are You Leading An Inspirational Life? by Monique Schlosser
Yesterday I talked about leading an inspirational life and how life is a journey. I also shared with you some of my journey and how I took the road less traveled and what a difference it has made in my life.
One day your life's journey will be over, and you will enter eternity. But what kind of journey will it have been? At the end of your life, will you look back with sorrow and regret, realizing too late that you had traveled the wrong road?
Or perhaps that the road you traveled was the right one - but you had allowed the troubles and temptations of this world to hold you back and keep you from reaching your full potential.
If you and I could sit down and talk right now, I'd want to hear about your journey so far. On which road are you traveling? Is it the right road - the road god has set out for you?
Let's read my story together on finding the missing piece of the puzzle that I was looking for. The meaning of life here on earth.
After my horrific accident my research began. My search took me on a three year journey that has shaped my life to what it is today.
I read numerous books, attended many personal development seminars, and I studied anything I could get my hands on trying to replace the emptiness I felt inside. Nothing worked until I talked to my good friend Wanda. She asked me if I had ever read the Bible? The Bible.....why would I read that I thought to myself.
I thought about what my good friend had suggested and thought to myself what harm could it do so I decided to go to a Christian bookstore to check into Bibles; however I found I couldn't buy one because I had such a fear of God. I obviously was not ready. So I browsed around the bookstore and I came across a book called "The Purpose Driven Life", by Rick Warren. This book got my attention so I bought it.
I began reading it and there were sections in the book that brought that intense fear back to me, so I phoned my friend Wanda and I told her what was going on. She said: “God loves you. He doesn’t want to harm you. God is a loving God.”
So in the summer of 2005 I went to visit my friend. While I was there I ordered a Bible online. I received my Bible a few weeks later but I still could not open it. The Bible sat on my end table for two weeks before I finally had the courage to read it.
Then when I was ready Wanda suggested I start with the book of John. While I was reading it, I had the most wonderful experience. I was reading about the crucifixion of jesus and what Jesus went through and this touched my heart. Then I felt an enormous feeling of joy and love wash over me. I was so excited and so happy that it hurt. I had never felt such a wonderful experience. I was high on love. I felt such gratitude to God, but I still didn’t know what it all meant till I phoned Wanda. She became very excited and she started to cry. She said, “My prayers have been answered. You are now a born again Christian.”
WOW!! Now I knew what she meant.
I was so exhilarated. My whole life changed instantly. God began revealing to me a new direction and purpose for my life. I continued to read the Bible because I found the stories so fascinating. I remember phoning Wanda and telling her with such excitement. It’s all here. Everything you want to know about life is in the Bible. I was just like a kid with a new toy except that my new toy was the Bible. I never in my wildest dreams ever imagine myself reading the Bible not along sharing my experiences with you. God works in mysterious ways sometimes not only for his glory but for ours as well.
So I became a Christian on Aug 26, 2005.
The emptiness that I felt was now gone. All I felt was love and joy. In my search for answers I discovered what was missing in my life all along.
Now it's your time to decide which road you will follow.
God's Love Letter Is Waiting For You
