This little guy, now thirteen years old, is a gifted violinist just like he was almost ten years ago. The joy he has when playing, his magic trick that makes the audience laugh and his ability to memorize such a long and complicated piece of music is truly remarkable.
If I could share one thing with you today, it would be this: Sometime in our life, if we have given our sin to Jesus and asked Him to pay for our debt on the cross, we will receive the Holy Spirit as our guide and our personal counselor for the rest of our lives.
God, through the Holy Spirit, will breathe new life into us. He will bestow spiritual gifts for us to use in the church to advance the work of His Kingdom so that others may know of Jesus' saving grace.
As sweet as that is, He doesn't stop there. God gives us a purpose. A purpose designed just for us. One that only we can do. He will help us, He will send His believers to help us and it will be something that comes naturally to us. It won't be easy. It will require sweat and tears.
The struggles are many when we become followers of Jesus. In the end, when we go home to the Lord, there's a good possibility we may hear,
"Well done, my good and faithful servant."
