Do you ever wonder what it is that God desires for you to do and to be? I have. I can remember as a young girl, laying in the grass on my back and looking up at the sky and thinking about how beautiful it was. I would look at the clouds, the blue sky, the beautiful flowers and a joy would come over me. I would be content to lay there for hours, without a care in the world and take in the beauty of Gods creation. I doubt if I ever realized who God was. My mother would drop me off at Sunday school and I learned the basic Noah, Daniel and Abraham stories. I was never taught that it was God who was in charge of their lives and it is God who is in charge of our lives, as much as we will allow him to be. As a child, Jesus was simply a baby in a manger and a man on a cross and God was his father. That’s all I knew. There were Christmas plays and Easter plays, and I can remember those, but nothing was real, it was only a “story”. At that time I had never been introduced to Jesus and the trinity. It wasn’t until I was 12 years of age while attending a “full gospel” meeting with my grandmother, that the Holy Spirit touched my heart and introduced me to Jesus. At that moment I ‘knew’ that Jesus was not just a name, but that He was a ‘real person’, something I had never known before. I can remember going home after that meeting and could not stop talking about Jesus and how I felt different. I began to beg my mother to please come to one of the meetings with Grandma and me. I kept telling her, mom, Jesus is a person. Jesus is alive. Jesus is real. That is all I could keep saying. My mother finally gave in and agreed to come to one meeting with us, I think to keep me quite, and guess what? The Holy Spirit took that opportunity to woo my mother into the plan of salvation. She answered His drawing and learned first hand that Jesus was real and the savior of her life and of the world. From that day forward He has lived in her heart just as He has mine. After the initial acceptance of Christ as Lord and savior in your life, I believe the Holy Spirit begins to move us into position where God intends for us to be in service for Him. If Jesus came to serve and save the lost, why would we think our calling would be any different than His? I believe we get caught up in the fan fare of the world. There is so much hoop-la on radio and television that goes on, we neglect our own salvation, which is to become intimate with God the Father, become intimate with Jesus and with the Holy Spirit. There is a place in God where we can achieve complete fullness in Him. He does not drop it on us, we gain that knowledge through our desire to know who He is. John 1:16: ‘KJ’ “And of His fullness have all we received and grace for grace.”
