That Moment

Have you ever had that moment when you didn't care who saw you during that moment.  Well I had that moment the other day.  I was with my husband in his truck.  We were coming up to a red light when I happened to glance over at the window and I saw it.  A spider! Now it was moving kinda fast so I started hitting towards it and moving away from it as fast as I could.  If I had been thinking I would have jumped out and ran but I guess I don't think very well when I am that close to a creepy, crawly, ugly spider.  I just kept swatting, twisting and trying to kill that spider that was trying to kill me.  As I was swatting I happened to notice that the person in the car next to us was staring at me with a strange look.   At that moment in time I did not care.  I didn't even care when my husband told me that the car behind us had backed up.  There are moments when it just doesn't matter what others think.

There was another time when I had one of those moments.  I was a sinner, full of pride and self.  I knew what was right and what I needed to do to but the thought of what others might think kept me pinned inside my miserable state of mind.  I felt the wooing of a Savior but I stayed mired in my arrogance.  I had many, many nights of battling the demons of my mind.  I was swatting, twisting and trying to kill the demons of my pride.  One night though it rained, the wind blew and thundered very loudly throughout that night.  That night I realized that if our house flooded I would die in my pride and head straight to hell.  I was a young girl at that time but I knew I could not hold on to that pride anymore.  I knew that if I listened to and accepted the wooing of a Savior that I had to give up my pride and have That Moment. I didn't care anymore what others thought.  I had that Moment and will live forever with my Savior!

What about you?  Have you had That Moment?

John 3:16-17

For God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son that who so ever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world but that world might be saved through Him.
