There is a reason that we get baptized.

It is to remind us who we truly are.  It is to remind us that we need a new beginning.

As I was praying on the way to school, I asked God to renew me, to open up my heart and my spirit that I might again walk in His grace.

It wasn’t that I had ever left it or that I had totally gone away, it was the simple fact that I needed Him to “wake me up”.

We all need that.

Luke 16 20 … So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

The above verse is about the Prodigal Son.  When He returns to the Father — He gets greeted like a KING.  And that’s exactly how God wants to meet us.

With a ROBE to cover us

With a RING for authority

With a pair of SHOES so that we can walk

With a HUG so that we can feel His love

If you need a kickstart like I do, I encourage you to join me in this today.

Pray that God would give you a kickstart.

That He would reopen your senses.

That He would reactivate, and RESTORE, you.

As I prayed this this morning, I was reminded of a beautiful song by Kenny Chesney and Randy Travis about being baptized.

I need that.

Lord, renew me … 

Today, 

Tomorrow,

And Forever.

In The Name of the Father and the 

Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
