It was the most amazing way to celebrate and see what the Lord has done in these past 2 years, to see 6 people proclaim Jesus as their Lord and Savior. He has them in his grasp, He has called them his own, and in a symbolic gesture of being raised to new life, these six were baptized!
Praise God for all of it being DONE by Jesus on the cross, may He get the full glory for the amazing redemptive work he has done in these people's lives. It is a joy to call them all friends, and be a witness to what He is doing!
Our God is a very REAL, very BIG God - I KNOW this is true because of the transformations I see the Holy Spirit working in these hearts. There isn't anything more encouraging than the evidence of changed lives.
God is so good.
All the time.
ALL.THE.TIME.
