What If I Had Never Found Him?

One day recently, while working side by side, my husband asked me if I had ever considered what my life would be like without the Lord. Wow! He had obviously been thinking about this in reference to himself but it really startled me. So, for about two weeks, I've been musing - is this an important matter? Has it made a difference? If it has, then how? What would I have missed without His forgiveness and love? Here are just a few of the things I've come up with so far...

* One God
* A true friend - no friendship can equal His
* Unconditional love from a Savior full of grace
* Shelter
* Defender
* Loving, God-fearing husband
* Loving, God-fearing children
* Loving, God-fearing grandchildren
* Friendships full of God's grace and love
* Opportunities upon opportunities to share His love and to have that love shared right back
* A solid rock on which to stand
* One who I can always count on
* Hope for a fruitful future
* A desire to fulfill His purpose for my life

In reflecting on this, I've realized how many situations and problems I have avoided because my focus was redirected one day back in 1969. I did find Him then and life has never been the same.
