Accept

When I was in college, there was a bumper sticker that a Christian organization made that said, "I Found It!" This was, of course, intriguing and did make me think, what did they find? I remember watching the girl down the hall, and thinking, I want what she has. She had peace. She had a kindness, a sweetness and an innocense that I did not have.... but wanted. When you ask Jesus to truly take over and come into your heart, He washes you like new. Clean slate. He washes away the sins and the dirtyness, and lets you start over. That's why it's referred to as 'born-again.'

But don't stop there. Ask God to give you the baptism of the Holy Spirit. THAT'S when the life of adventure starts. That's when you will go to church and look forward to it. It won't be rote prayers, but a relationship with the living God, your Father. You'll see the gifts of the Spirit. You'll see healings and hear prophecies and hear words of knowledge. It's very exciting! It's awesome. Every day is a new adventure. God's word says, "These signs shall follow them that believe." These gifts are for you today. Accept Jesus! Then accept His gifts!
