Today's Word from Marty and Jessica

I remember as a young man when my wife became pregnant, we didn't actually know she was carrying the seed of life. But we did notice that something was different about her. She didn't look the same, she didn't act the same and she began to crave certain foods. When something didn't agree with her she would regurgitate it and her metabolism even began to change ever so slowly. One day she notice her monthly routine was absent so she went to her physician, had an examination and some lab work and came home very excited with news that she was carrying a child within her. As each day came, she would show signs of the life she was carrying. She could feel moments of movement and after-a-while bonding. As the baby grew inside of her, my wife took on an incredible glow that enhanced her beauty. I'd never seen her so full of life. When the time was right, through painful hours, moments and seconds a new life entered our time and space and brought us the joy of a real miracle, God's blessing and gift to the world.

When you asked God to bring Jesus Christ into your life you allowed Him to have His way with you. He entered you and without you knowing it at that moment He actually poured Himself into you. He impregnated you with His Son, Jesus Christ. Within you is a living being [His Spirit] which is growing and you may not even know it yet, but you're changing. You're not the same, your routine is off and everything about you is different. You don't even look the same, you don't act the same and you're beginning to crave spiritual food rather than "junk" food. You may even have a problem digesting certain things that no longer appeal to you, like foul talk, old habits, certain people, the type of television you once liked and more. Each day as you ingest the Word, turn to prayer and increase the necessary essentials for spiritual growth you are showing, glowing and growing. As you mature, coming to full-term, you can expect to give birth to the new life that's within you.

Remember, God planted Himself in you so that you would bring His gift to the world. Congratulations, you're about to give birth!
