Romans 8:11 NASB "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you."It was if I was breathing a new life, something within me had changed! Today's verse speaks of death and life, and how the Spirit of God will give us new life, the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead! Sitting alone in my room, I had asked Jesus to take my life, for I was not living as I wanted or should. Spending time in prayer, crying out to God, and feeling Him say that it was my responsibility to live as a mature man woke me up to the fact that my life had to change! That change came as I realized life would no longer be the same, I needed to live for Christ and that meant my actions, words, thoughts, and attitude needed to be more like Christ's! In life, we will face many different types of death but the one that brings new life is found only in Christ! May the Resurrection of our Savior NOT be just for one day but for our lifetime! peace, tom
