Daily Devotionals by Ardith Keef

     Why are you doing this?
     Simply because there is nowhere else to go. You have experienced the second birth and it cannot be undone. No matter how hard you try, you can not crawl back into the birth canal.
     So, here you are.
     The good news is, that means the Bible is true. The situation we find ourselves in is the result of the supernatural New Birth, and that is the launching point!
     You can't go back.
     You must go forward or you will suffer the sting of sin. Not good!
     We have an "Along-side One." That means there is a Comforter. There is the Precious Third Person of the Godhood - the Holy Spirit. He is delicate and usually quiet, but not less powerful, and never obsolete. He presses us into Jesus. He reveals Jesus. He propels us to Jesus.
     Something really happened to you when you gave your life to Christ.
     You were born into the Royal Race, and you are now in the Kingdom of His Dear Son - The Kingdom of Light. Things will never be as they were, and you will not be allowed to live that way.
     Yield to the Lover of Your Soul.
     Allow Him to speak and to tenderly care for you. You did the right thing - there was nothing else.
     Now, reaffirm your commitment to serve and to give up all to follow Him!
