a new creation!

This morning in church there were about 15 baptisms. Between singing one of my favorite hymns, "How Great Thou Art" and watching the baptisms, my eyes were full of tears. I miss the excitement of being a new believer...that "I can't wait to tell the world!" feeling. It's been a long time since I made a personal decision for Christ...3 August 1984, to be exact. I remember it so well. But lately I've been so focused on the details of my daily life that I've lost a lot of that initial joy and wonder. My prayer today is that I fall in love again with my First Love. Only in Him will I be fulfilled.
