Walking with God is a tremendous adventure that you will never regret. He certainly does want to use you. He will use anyone greatly; whose heart is truly His!
Now, may I suggest that we focus our thoughts on the ministry of the Holy Spirit and His relationship to us. You see, every Christian can have an exciting adventure with God every day when they know the reality of being filled with the Holy Spirit and live constantly, moment by moment, under His gracious direction. This may be a review for you but please go to: Ministry of the Holy Spirit – The Spirit Filled Life. Without the power of the Holy Spirit, the Christian life is impossible to live. However, when you are filled and empowered with the Holy Spirit, Christ is living His life through you and you are pleasing God moment by moment! You are in for some exciting times!
