John 3:1-16
What happens when we are born again?
The second we are born again, the second we take our first breath as a child of the King we are given a mission in life. We may not be aware of that mission for quite some time, or we may be made aware of it instantly. That mission is a small part of our Fathers purpose, but it may have a large part in achieving it. It is achieved one life at a time. Yesterday I was heading to Two Harbors, Minnesota. All of a sudden I was really hungry. I had had breakfast so I could not understand why the hunger. I pulled off at 21st Ave. East in Duluth. I had a choice, McDonalds across the street, or Burger King on the same side. I was going to go to Macs. But felt I was meant to go into BK. So I did. I grabbed a copy of Eli as I went it. I got a cup of coffee and a breakfast sandwich, was wondering why I had sat down to eat, I needed to get back on the road, Father had other plans. I finished my sandwich and headed to the car. I noticed a black Mercedes with the sunroof open. As I walked by I noticed the fish on the trunk. The sign was that this guy was a believer. He had his cute little girl with him in the car. She was probably 10-11 years of age. Curt her dad took a look at Eli and stated he liked the message. I signed it for Amanda his daughter. Her smile as she read what I wrote to her was totally infectious. I don’t know where this little girl is at on her journey of Faith. I don’t know if she has had that experience of being “born again” or not. I pray that the Holy Spirit will use the words that he had me write to touch her in a way that will change her life forever. We all must use whatever gifts the Father has given to be a tool to reach those around us. Whether we are taking a kid fishing, a grandkid on a motorcycle ride or writing a book these gifts are given for one reason. To see people hearts changed so they can be born again. I encourage all of us to be used, we will see amazing things.
Go in peace
