The Most Important Day
Everyone has an important day. Everyday is special and important for everyone. Whether it is good, bad, or just crazy it is important. Psalm 118:24 says, “This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
The most important day in my life was when I rededicated my life to Christ. When I was growing up, I wasn’t very involved in church. My parents aren’t the best Christians and they didn’t go to church; therefore, neither did I. I always heard great things about the Lord and I wanted to feel all the great feeling everyone described.
When I was around 9, I was invited to go to church camp with my friends. It was an amazing experience. I felt the Lord in my heart so I decided to get saved. I wasn’t sure on how to let the Lord into my heart. I didn’t know how to grow in the Lord. It was a whole new experience for me. If I’m being honest, the main reason I got saved was because my friends did also. I went on with my life knowing I was saved, but I wasn’t for sure how to act.
My life went on and I fell off my tracks with the Lord. I only went to church on the holidays like Christmas and Easter. I never thought about the Lord and I was perfectly fine with it. My grandpa always encouraged me to read the bible and get baptized but I never would. He recently passed away and it changed my perspectives on things. I know that he is in Heaven and he wants me to live for Christ. I felt the need to start going to church. I started a new church, but I was just going through the motions.
A couple of weeks ago, a close friend passed away and it changed everything for everyone. The love for Christ spread throughout everyone. I was invited to go to a revival last week. I went and it was the best decision of my life. I felt the Lord come into my heart. His love flooded into my body. I had never felt anything like it. When the pastor asked us to come up and say the prayer, I was one of the first people up to the stage. I said the prayer and I rededicated my life to Christ. Ever since that day, I live everyday for Christ.

Rededicating my life for Christ was the most important day of my life. Now I’m living everyday for him and it makes everyday more important than the others. Having Christ in your heart is one of the best feelings ever.
I remember seeing you and Autumn up there together with so many people, it was such a good feeling to see so many kids feeling the same thing as you. I also remember the night I got baptized at my church in Lake City. It felt so good to feel the presence and love of God; it made me feel safe in a way. All I had for you was love after that night because you were officially my sister in Christ. I’m proud to call you one of my best friends because you realized that you weren’t on the wrong path, and you fixed it the first chance you got. And that’s something to be proud of. - mcheese
