The Day I was Reborn

22nd May 2008

This is the day I was given new life. God took away my sins and gave me a new breath of life through water. On this day, I was baptised through full immersion. On this day, I felt the Holy Spirit descend upon me. Nothing exceptionally magical took place. Everything was peaceful and joyful. I cried during my baptism. THe thought of being reborn again, the thought of Jesus on the cross and redeeming our sins touched my heart so deeply. I felt it during baptism. The whole evening. Even as we sat listening to the readings and singing the hymns. I felt my life changing every moment. The joy of knowing that I am able to partake in the Holy Communion now is profound. I have no words to describe it. I feel something in me that has been renewed. I just felt it. I can feel God with me and the Holy Spirit in me. I am not the old me anymore.

Bitte Segnen Sie uns und Vielen Dank, Jesus Christus.

Amen.
