LIFE --1 Hour At A Time!

It's the first day of Spring, beginning of new life. It's 2 days from the earliest Easter in our lifetime...MORE new life! I'm ready to begin my new life!
Isn't it amazing the wonderful feeling of Love that enters us when we are born again? It is hard to describe to people who have not experienced it. I think that God put an empty spot inside us, and all our life we try to fill that hole. Some use drugs or alcohol or money or sex, but none of it works. Then when we find the Lord, the hole is filled, and we are complete. I wish I could share this feeling with every person on earth. If anyone who is reading this wants to fill that hole, it is so easy! Kneel down and ask God himself if He and His son, Jesus are real and if they know who you are! James 1:5 says:
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men

liberally, and upbraideth not; (will hold nothing back from you) and

it shall be given him."

Even if you are not sure if there is a God, take that one bit of faith that is as small as a mustard seed. It is enough to start with. HE WILL let you know, through your heart, that He is there and loves you. You are His child! He made prayer so easy, because He misses His children when they don't speak with Him. He could have set us on earth and left us alone and told us to make it through life alone, but He didn't. He is always there for you...as close as a silent prayer! He is a fair and loving God. When you have let Him enter your heart, then you need to study His word, and try to live the way of happiness. The 10 commandments are only to make us happy. Those who break those rules only cause and get unhappiness. His rules are not just to control us--He gave us free agency--but those rules are to make our lives easier and happier. Faith without works is dead, and so are works without Faith. They must be joined together. The word "Gospel" means "Good News!" Read it. If you need to start with the easier version that does not have the Old English language, do so. It is the NIV, New Inspired Version of the Bible or New Testament. Reading the New Testament first is easier, then as you learn more, you can go back to the Old testament. It's quite a challenge to read the whole Bible cover to cover, so the way I usually study it is to look up one key word, then find every scripture that has that word in it, or teaches about that subject. That is very easy to do on the thousands of sites with the scriptures on it. Bible study classes locally or online also is a great benefit. My own belief is in getting baptized, because even Jesus, who was perfect, was expected to get baptized, so I think all of us, who are not perfect, are also expected to be baptized. That is called baptism by water, for remission of sins. (washes away your sins). Then after that comes the laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. That is the baptism by fire...for when you feel the Holy Spirit, you will feel a burning in your upper chest, and when you have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit, He can be with you at all times to guide you, teach you and comfort you.

Easter is not just new dresses and Easter Eggs and Easter bunnies...teach your children the Reason for the Season!
