Today was once again in the gym during my workout. I was so excited when a dear friend of mine called me and told me her sister wants to be baptized. We have been praying for her. Not just her battle with cancer. But also her relationship with Jesus. You just couldn't wipe the smile off my face. I mean, I'm usually always smiling, but this time it attracted a friend of mine to ask me what I was so happy about. Well the conversation began, and it was short and sweet.
He asked me why she wasn't baptized as a baby. I said to him, well like Jesus, and all the others in the Bible, they got baptized when they were of age to hear with their heart, and understand repentance and walking a new life with Jesus. Jesus didn't have to repent of any sin. He was just our example to follow. I proceeded to tell him what it means to me, and the definition of being submerged, not just sprinkled with water as a baby. They can't make a personal decision. But we can make a personal decision when we begin to understand the meaning of being down with our old life, and up with a new life with Jesus Christ. Following Him as not just your Savior, but Lord.
He didn't ask any more questions. So we left it at that. What a sweet few moments. And you never know who else was listening.
So I pray daily that the fragrance of my life will be a pleasing sacrifice. My time, is His time. Every decision, and every moment, may He be glorified.
Daily spending time in God's word, helps you recognize His heart for others. Tune your heart to His, and He will pour you out.
For Your glory Lord
