I accepted Christ into my life over 20 years ago. As soon as I invited Him into my heart, I was a changed person. I no longer needed to look for what was missing in all the wrong places. Before I knew Christ, I would look for what was missing in my life in a bottle, sex, all the wrong places. As soon as I found Him...all of these desires left me. I was truly a new person inside and out. The "flame" of the Holy Spirit burned bright within me.
But time goes buy and the flame becomes dim, that is when it is time to be careful of allowing the old person to sneak back in. I must daily remember the bright "flame" of the Spirit that once burned within me. I pray daily that it will once again blaze so that on that day that I am face to face with my Lord and Savior, He says to me: "well done faithful servant"!
