I Can't Forget

Do you ever feel the need to remember where you came from? To remember where God has brought you from? I do. When I was in High School, I wrote a song entitled, "Walking," and it's a small picture of where I was at spiritually during that time. Here are the lyrics:

I'm walking on from where I was.

I'm not alone in my journey.

The Spirit is here to guide me.

I love all the things He does.

I've found joy in the Lord.

Security surrounds me.

The things of this earth

Cannot drown me.

Gotta keep my eyes on the Lord.

Chorus

Jesus, let's go walking.

Jesus, let's go walking.

Walking makes me tired,

But not when I'm with Someone who's more than a friend.

This walk doesn't need to end.

It's a very simple song, but I wrote it at a time not long after I had discovered what it was like to have my own relationship with God. I no longer lived off the faith of my parents. It was such a spiritually exciting time, because I seemed to grow in leaps and bounds in my faith. I loved Jesus so much!

Today, I still love Jesus, and I am growing in Him. However, there are times that I still need to look back and see how far God has brought me. I need to remember those things that I never want to go back to (sin). I need to remember what I was like before God changed my life, and thank Him for saving me.

At different times in Scripture, God reminded Israel that He was the one who brought them out of Egypt. He reminded them of where they came from. I think we need those times to remember. We forget so easily how far God has brought us because we are so focused on what's happening now.

I want to encourage you to take some time to remember where God has brought you from. Remember the joy that comes from the salvation that only He can bring.
