Hello Friend,
God sent his Son, Jesus, to bring believers forgiveness for our sins and eternal life. While Jesus is no longer physically present with us, He sent His Spirit to be with us always. The Holy Spirit leads, guides, and directs our steps. Our task is to follow the Spirit’s promptings. Today, I feel strongly in my spirit that I am called to remind my readers to put down the cell phone. Drop the clicker. Please don’t pick up the game controller. Pick up your Bible instead. From cover to cover, the Bible is a love letter written just for you. Inside you will find stories of Jesus that have been passed down to you as a valued treasure for centuries. First, the stories were told from generation to generation orally. Later, they were written down, and after the printing press, were available to the people. Sadly, most people have a Bible somewhere in their house, mostly gathering dust. How is God going to reach you with his love if your mind is captivated by electronics muting the promptings of the Holy Spirit? Can you be silent enough, long enough, to hear God speaking to you? Will you so treasure Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for you that you will take the time to learn about His nature, His love for sinners, hear His teaching parables? This Easter Sunday is coming to a close. Will you celebrate Jesus’ resurrection by resurrecting your faith practices? Your life depends on it! Linda
