> Hallelujah! What a blessed day I've had! Church was awesome. >My pastor is awesome. My God is awesome. I am *free*--totally free!! >For the past couple of weeks I've had total access to God's Spirit. >I just go crank up some D&K, pray in my unknown tongue, and leap and >dance around my dorm room in the presence of the Lord. > > This semester He has broken Satan's grip on me in so many areas! >So much sin has been put behind me, and so much life is flowing through >me! The Word is totally and utterly alive, and I'm learning that I >never had a clue what peace was until I submitted to Jesus. > > All of the wrong I've done is being rectified. God is bringing >good out of bad the way He alone can. He has hardly disciplined me at >all this month, but I have a feeling I'll love Him all the more when >I need it again. > > I never had anything on my own. Sure, I've had plenty of 4.0's. >What does that mean? Nothing. God gave me the brain, but it never >did anything to fill the void in my life until I gave Him my heart. >Sure, I can sing, but singing was never so beautiful as it is under >the power of the Holy Spirit. > > Am I bragging? Only about my weakness. I've had all the things >people think they want, but none of it meant anything until I gave it >all to the Lord. I couldn't put together even a vague semblance of >happiness until I opened the Bible. I was on the road that leads to >death and destruction before I made the radical change and sold out. > > What doesn't fill the void? Well, I can say video games don't, >alcohol doesn't, good grades don't, praise from adults doesn't, empty >religion doesn't, winning arguments doesn't, girls don't, a nice car >doesn't, computers don't . . . even basketball doesn't bring inner >harmony until you pray before you play. > > What does fill the void? JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD! >Kurt Whew! I was getting almost convinced for sure that Hurt (oops, I mean Kurt; Fruedian slip) had lost his heart! Good on ya' Kurt, keep it up! Peace David
