lifelong process

Thursday January 14th, Luke 3: 16 John answered them all, "I baptize you with water. But one more powerful than I will come, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. The Holy Spirit brings about change from within. We are a new creation in Christ. Fire is used for refining, not just communities, but more often lives, which is often a lifelong process. It is also often not a pleasant process and therefore avoided by many for as long as possible. The problem is that it is also a life changing process and what we miss by putting it off is the joy of the journey. Our baptism is just the beginning. But Oh, what a beginning!!!! If you are not on your journey, what are you waiting for? Hop, and hope on board and enjoy the journey.
