So in Christ Jesus, you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. Galatians NIV

I crafted a video on that day to share my journey, and today I feel led to share it again. Not because I have all the answers, but because I found the One who is the answer.

If you’ve ever wondered if there’s more—more peace, more hope, more love—there is. His name is Jesus. 💜

This is not just my story… He is writing your story even now. Get to know the Author—He knows your story better than you think.

Born Again (the exact words) is only mentioned 3 times in the King James Version.

Meaning: A person converted to personal faith in Christ. 

Born ...  Again?  How, What, Where? Hmmm... I have heard the words 'Born Again' over the years and had no idea! But what do they truly mean? Do we use these two words to mean multiple things??  Do we say the sinner’s prayer? Do we get Baptized? Do pray? So many options? Sometimes things can be so confusing. 

I can only share my experience and thoughts... 

As we pointed out in previous studies, we are born with a body, soul, and spirit. That said, the best visual I can share about being Born Again is the following. Picture a pilot light that resides deep within us. It sits there dormant as we move through life. And then one day, when you least expect it... the Holy Spirit will breathe his Holy breath on our wick and heat the embers to a beautiful glow.

 As your spirit awakens. You will feel an unexplainable warmth deep in your soul.  From that moment, your life will take on new meaning. You will have a new sense of purpose. Your senses will become heightened. You will start seeing things in our world in a new light. The things around you will become beautiful. You will hear birds singing, and you will see the beauty in the vibrant colors of the delicate flower. You will feel newfound freedom in your soul. Your lungs will inhale the sweetness of life. You will taste life like never before. You will find a burning desire to learn more about God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. And as your confidence grows and you discover the depths of Trinity’s LOVE. 

You will feel the need to share this Amazing LOVE with the world and the people around you. So, to sum it up, Born Again is our souls’ response to the Holy Spirit's call to awaken our very spirit. The essence of who we truly are will spill out for the world to see. Lighting the path for others to find their way home.

The Trinity will place you in the state of WOW

The term “born again” refers to a new beginning in the relationship between God and the person who is born again. 

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

1 Peter 1:23 Born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.

John 3:3-7 Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again." ⁴"How can someone be born when they are old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born!" ⁵Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. ⁶Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. ⁷You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.

Meaning of lost: unable to find one's way; not knowing one's whereabouts.

The word lost is in the Bible forty-nine times.

Lost, have you ever felt lost?  Have you ever witnessed a child when they have lost sight of their parent and panic sets in… They are afraid, tears stream… cries can be heard!! I do believe we still can feel that panic and anxiety as adults. However, as adults, we learn to internalize those emotions or choose to suffer in silence.

The lost feeling can manifest within for many reasons. This life can be unpredictable and difficult at best. Each day is a difficult hill to climb. But how do we cope? How do we hold on to a rope that seems to be unraveling?  Darkness and doubt can overcome our very existence.

Where do we turn when our hearts are longing for relief? Where do we go when our souls are aching for answers?  It sometimes seems to hurt so bad that we bleed. 

I am not a doctor or even qualified to give medical or clinical advice. But I can share my heart. I have found a healer, a therapist, a friend and a lover of our souls. That if you will open your heart and let His light in He will heal every scar. He will fill every void. He will bring peace to your soul that you will have difficulty in understanding.  Where there was once darkness, you will feel a warmth from the love that will glow from within.

There is no medical insurance needed, no copay. His heart is open 365 days a year, rain or shine… I can’t recommend Him enough. 

So, how do you contact His office? Go to a quiet place. Close your eyes and call His name and wait on Him… Open the life manual He provided. It’s a best seller and holds a wealth of information…It’s called the Bible. Meditate on the words between the pages day and night.  The most important action is to chase Him with all you are worth. Never give up, the rewards are endless… 

The only true cost is to LOVE Him… He will return love to you, far greater than you ever knew could exist. So, now I will ask you who in our troubled world could not use this type of LOVE.  

It’s Him, It's Always Him!!

For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. He is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. Psalm 62:5-6 ESV

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 ESV

Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops. Luke 12:3 ESV

Perplexed

 

Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,

for He will speak peace to His people, to His saints;

but let them not turn back to folly.

— Psalm 85:8

 

The word perplexed appears only once in the Bible.

 

Perplexed — adjective:

Bewildered. Puzzled. Complicated. Entangled.

 

This world—this life—can stir up the most perplexing thoughts.

How did we drift so far from what matters?

From God. From truth. From justice. From life itself.

 

Have we become so distracted by the noise, by the image we craft for others to admire, by the desires we chase and the dreams we decorate, have we lost sight of what’s real?

 

Scroll through social media. What is the truth? What is an illusion?

What is light… and what is shadow?

 

It’s all so perplexing.

 

Confusion breeds conflict. Lies masquerade as humor.

And too often, what’s sacred is mocked for likes.

 

Yet, there are glimpses of light.

Some still reflect what’s real.

Some still carry love, kindness, and clarity.

 

But the question remains:

Do we reflect the light?

Or do we echo the darkness?

 

I challenge you—if you’re reading this:

Pause. Breathe. Recalibrate.

Let’s focus on what truly matters.

Let’s clear the air.

Let’s let God’s light in.

 

He is not the author of confusion.

He is peace.

He is clarity.

He is justice.

He is love.

 

I pray we learn to live in the now

To embody truth, to love deeply,

To speak with compassion,

And to honor even those we don’t understand.

 

Because one day, we will stand before Him.

Not behind a filter.

Not wrapped in illusion.

Just us—and Him.

 

Will we stand confident, eyes lifted in joy?

Will we run into His arms with,

“I’ve missed You!”

Or will we tremble, realizing too late

that He was real all along?

 

Now is the time.

Now is the moment to surrender our confusion.

To silence the chaos.

To follow His voice—

That gentle whisper calling His children home.

 

He is the Beginning and the End.

The Alpha and the Omega.

The First and the Last.

 

And I may be just one—

But when all the “ones” begin to move together,

drawn by His magnetic pull…

That’s when light floods the darkness.

 

It’s Him.

It’s always Him.

 

In every way we're troubled, but we aren't crushed by our troubles. We're frustrated, but we don't give up. GWT
