If you want me to know, I don’t.  If you want me to do something about it, I cannot.  If you are looking to me for anything other than love, prayer and encouragement, I got nothing.  If you expect me to somehow be filled with answers, guidance, prayers, good feeling, good tidings and cash, guess what you are most likely and most often setting yourself up for disappointment.  I was an empty cup and continue to be an empty cup without the pure water of God’s Holy Gospel and Spirit. Oh how sweet, cool, fulfilling and refreshing.  I cannot give that to you either, but my friend this is your lucky day, because I know how you can get that right now.

Here’s the ticket.  Humble yourself and pray to God that He forgive you of your sins and have Jesus come into your life, filling you with His Everlasting Spirit, cleansing you of unrighteousness, permanently sealing you for eternity spent with a Holy God and setting you firmly on the path to sanctification and glorification.  Oh and here’s the greatest part, you get the Holy Spirit here on earth, to empower, teach, guide, prompt, counsel, convict and grow you to the point where you are ready to spend eternity with a Holy and Righteous Lord.  You did that, Hooray for the Lord and joy to you.  The angels are rejoicing at that news.

What’s next?  Well don’t expect it all to be peaches and pralines, for now some of the tough part begins.  But now you have the hope of Christ living within you to overcome anything that may come your way.  First you’re going to feel a bit odd, not they dressed me in funny clothes and sent me to my first day of school across town odd, but sort of like that.  The Lord is going to begin cleansing you of past pain and unrighteous behavior, setting you free of sin.  He will need to be a participant in this process, because he is going to be asking for the keys to those rooms that you keep hidden and dark, with a big sign that says, “Keep out, Especially You”.  The Lord wants to set you free of the hold of sin and the pain of wickedness done in the dark.  Trust me it’s refreshing and uplifting.  Then the real fun begins, the Lord begins to make of you a new person, the person he meant you to be to fulfill your specific purpose for His plan for humanity.  Yes, that means no more loneliness, no more lack of purpose in your life or feeling like you just don’t matter, because you do.

By the Greatest part of all of this is that you get to have a relationship with Jesus.  That’s right you get to know and spend time with the Creator of this and every planet.  He loves you I hope you know and that is why He made this all possible, so that He could be near you for the rest of time.  That’s right this is an eternal relationship.  Right now, He is calling me to prayer for you and for the other great things or difficulties that others are experiencing.  So I have to go, but remember if you need me, I can offer prayer, love and encouragement, for the rest you have the new benefit of going to Him.  “He will provide for all of your needs according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus”.  Wow, who can beat that.  In Jesus Name I pray for your blessed moment of salvation this day.  Be at Peace.
