Born Again by Choice

When I was born into this world, I did not get to pick my parents, or the town that I lived in or the color of my skin. The circumstances of my physical birth was in the hands of God and my parents. I just happened to be the beneficiary of their decisions and I am glad I was born. I am glad I am who I am and grateful to God for leading me along the way.
I was born as a natural person. I was born of a corrupted nature handed down from me by my very great grandparents Adam and Eve.
My second birth was by choice--when I understood why Jesus died for me and why I needed to be born again.
