Forgiven By God

Have you ever watched the wind blow? Of course we can't see the wind blow, but we know it is blowing by the trees and the grass moving. The same is true for the Holy Spirit. We can't see the Holy Spirit but we know He's blowing in our lives by how we are moving. If we are moving closer to God and doing the work God has for us, then the Holy Spirit is blowing into our lives. The Holy Spirit is the wind that moves Christians. He gently pushes us to step out and move closer to God. The Holy Spirit is our leader, our comforter, and our helper. He will guide us as we try to make it through life. He will help us know what our next move should be. He will also help us grow closer to God. The Holy Spirit will give us boldness and the words to say as we tell others about Jesus. He is a great friend to have. Ask God today to have the Holy Spirit come into your life.

This week I have had the opportunity to go fishing with my family. I am proud to say I finally caught one! Now that may not be exciting news to some of you, but when you have waited 31 years to catch a big fish, it means a little bit more. This week while I was fishing I was reminded of an important lesson. Sometimes it takes a while to catch the fish. You may sit for hours and even get a few bites, but it still make take a while to catch the big one. This can be applied to our Christian walk also. When we are saved we don't automatically know everything there is to know about being a Christian. We may not even have a clue on where to start reading the Bible. We can become very discouraged if we began to think about all the things that are still wrong with us and let me tell you the Devil will remind you constantly of all the things you are doing wrong. Just like when we have to wait to catch that big fish, we also must wait and have patience as we learn God's Word. God...
