In a recent conversation, I was presented with the question, “So, what happens when you are saved?”. To me the answer seemed obvious. It’s what I’ve always believed since I was a little girl: that when you are saved you are forgiven for your sins and able to be one with God. You have to accept and believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins and that you are not perfect, that you need a relationship with Him to get to Heaven. Right?In the big picture of things, yes, being saved is used in the context of Jesus dying to save us from our sins. But when I was asked that question, I immediately thought of the bigger picture of being saved, all the ways He continually saves us. I said, “To me, I see the way He saves me every day of my life.” Every day, I wake up and I need Him. I can’t live a day without walking and talking with Him, and every little thing that happens, I know that He has something to do with it.It’s easy to see the way that God saves you when you are going through a hard time especially. I feel like people tend to lean on God more when they are hurting than when they’re happy. I see how God has gotten me through the toughest times in my life, times when I had no idea what was going on or why things were happening the way they were. When something is going wrong or something bad is happening, I always think, “You know those times when things begin to come together and you begin to see why things happened the way they did? Yeah I wish that were happening right now…” But with all things, it seems that someday they always come together!! And I see God saving me then, because I know that He is working in my life, because I pray that everything that happens will happen in His will.But I also see Him saving me in other ways. With good things. Like on a beautiful sunny day, I feel that He’s just smiling down on me. In the little things, like the way a flower is created. And how it knows when to bloom and everything! If you think about it, it’s genius!! I see all these amazing things around me and I think how lucky I am to have a God that loves me so much. In Lighthouse last Sunday, it was mentioned that how the creator of the stars in the sky loves ME. That totally blows my mind. When I think of that I just smile!! God is the definition of true love, and everyday, even when I don’t notice it, He is saving me. I would never be able to get through this life without Him.
