Good Friday and My Yesterdays

What is good about today?

Today has been influenced with all that has happened yesterday. Sometimes when we wake up we are sore from the work of yesterday. Other times we have a bad taste in our mouths from the pizza of last night. Then there are days that we wake up smiling because last night was so special... so many wonderful memories.

We are strongly influenced by what has happened in the yesterdays.

After giving my life to Jesus, the next day was amazing. I remembered what I had done when I had invited Jesus into my life. I had asked him to take my sins away and become my Lord. I told him I believed he was my Saviour and I wanted to live for Him.

That next day was different because of how I had prayed and most importantly - what He started to do when I prayed.

It was later that I would realize that the event of a long time ago - one of the most important "yesterdays" - had made the greatest difference. Jesus had died on a cross for me. He gave His life so that I might be free.

I can hardly fathom it. Everyone of my horrible "yesterdays", filled with sin that had hurt me and others, was now covered by one special "yesterday" - Good Friday - the day that Jesus gave his life for me. The day that He made it possible for my "yesterdays" to stop having the powerful hold on me.

Today I give God praise for a Cross and a grave. Today I remember what He did for me.

My today has been influenced with all that happened on that one special yesterday.

Thank you Jesus! Thank you Father for loving me so much!
