Thou hast made me born again of water and of the Spirit
Glory to You O God, Glory to You!
Thou hast opened the door into the Kingdom of Grace
And alloweth me to enter into Your Life
Glory to You O God, Glory to You!
Lord, it is not longer me who live but You Who Live in Me
I abandon myself to Your Love
wherever it takes!
Thy Will be done on earth as it is in heaven!
Glory to You O God, Glory to You!
Dear Theophilus,
ReplyDeleteI salute you, brother, by your new name in Christ, and congratulate you.
All the blessing of being one of Christ's holy flock are now yours, and every door is open to you.
"Here is the message of the Holy and Faithful One who has the key of David, so that when He opens, nobody can close, and when He closes, nobody can open. I know all about you; and now I have opened in front of you a door that nobody will be able to close—and I know that though you are not very strong, you have kept My commandments and not disowned My Name." (Revelation 3:7-8)
Now, brother, nothing has changed, and everything has changed.
You are still the same Yudhie, you look the same, you will sometimes feel the same, there will be the same struggles and temptations, you will still love the same people and things, and hate the same annoyances and obstacles.
You are a new Yudhie, and your chrismation name is an ikon of the New Name that Christ will give you when He comes to bring you your reward, and when you hear Him saying to you, "Come, good and faithful servant, and inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world."
"To those who prove victorious I will give the hidden manna and a white stone—a stone with a new name written on it, known only to the man who receives it." (Revelation 2:17)
Your victory, precious brother, is the victory of Christ, who has called you, into whom you have been baptised, with whom you are now clothed, who is the good and faithful Witness, whose bond-servant and prisoner you have become, who has set you free to run the way of His commandments (Psalm 119:32 JB).
We are very happy for you, Yudhie.
God grant you many, many years!
