Thought For Today - 4/11/09

When a soul comes to God and surrenders his/her life to Him, we say he/she is converted, and by that we mean changed, born again of God, so that the common things which were evident in his/her life as a fleshly being fell away and were gone and the spiritual life appeared in them, and in the truest sense they began their walk as a child of God.

I believe a real conversion is the awakening of the spirit of man to the consciousness of the Fatherhood of God through Jesus Christ. In order to be aware of the consciousness of union with God, it is necessary that everything be removed that hides that consciousness and dims the knowledge of God.

Sin is the peculiar thing in the life of people which dims the consciousness of them so they cannot comprehend God. When sin is removed the veil over the soul of people is gone and the spirit of them looks into the face of God and recognizes that God is their Father through our Lord Jesus Christ!

Praise God! The spirit of them ascending into union with God brings into our soul the consciousness that God is over all and in all.

Much love,
Joseph
