The Voice of TruthThe Holy Spirit plays a big role in our lives. It was His voice that told me to make that commitment on that day and to start my walk with Him. It was the same voice that told me to not do what the world does. It was the same voice who cried out to me to "Come back home!" when I wandered off. It was the same voice that told me to open the Bible and read it because He wanted to talk to me and to build a relationship with Him. Today, it's the same voice who gently whispers to you, “Invite me in and I'll show you the way, the truth, and the life."

Heart TransplantThere are two parts of this blog:
1. A Change of Heart 2. Straight from the Heart As you can see, a child can teach us what our heart should be. A child is humble and dependent.

More of God and Less of meBeing a Christ Follower means it’s no longer about us, but it’s all about Christ who lives in us. He must become greater; we must become less. God must be our first priority! The greatest commandment is to love the Lord our God with all our heart and with all our soul and with all our mind. He is our Lord and Savior and He rules and reigns in our lives. Each day we crucify our old self. In other words, the old self dies and the new self comes to life. For we belong to Christ, we crucify our flesh with its passions and desires.
