Unwrapping Changing Transformation

Complete acceptance is the doorway to transformation. - Eckhart Tolle

It really wasn't until that early morning 'fish' breakfast AFTER the Resurrection that Peter really, really, realized how much Jesus loved him. Hmm!

Look around! you probably have one yourself. A gift someone gave you, still in its original packaging. Oh, you unwrapped it alright, but it just hasn't found its way out of the package and into your use. You'll get around to it someday! Unfortunately, that's the way a lot of folks, even some of us; receive Jesus and the new life He brings. We openly claim the gift of salvation Jesus offers but never really let the Holy Spirit out of the package (into our hearts), so we never experience the life changing transformation promised. Maybe instead of asking God for more of this/that in our prayers we should just let the Holy Spirit out of the package. I'm sure He will not only change our 'perceived' needs but also give us a much clearer view of what we already have in Christ.

Until Monday...

"Now the Bereans were of more noble character than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true."- Acts 17:11
