Last night while running, I had a simple but incredible realization. I had reached close to two miles in my run when my phone started playing a wonderful song called I Choose Jesus by Moriah Peters. I love this song because it clearly exudes the solid foundation of a relationship with Christ but until last night I honestly hadn't thought much about the words.
The song explains that individuals after becoming a Christian cannot be content with living the same as before. Instead they must adamantly profess to the world that they have chosen Jesus as their Savior and that nothing else matters. We as Christians should follow the Biblical exhortation from Matthew 5:14-16. It says, "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven."
I personally have been impacted by this song and am encouraged to a better witness of God's love to those around me. I hope that this has affected you as well and hopefully, by our example many will come to Christ.
"I choose Jesus, I choose Jesus. The one who first chose me. I choose Jesus, I choose Jesus for now and eternity!"
