the Lord leads

and circumstances have changed. So many blessings have been poured out over me.

Recognized today that while I'm surrounded by wonderful people/possessions/opportunities, I don't always fill up on the Good Stuff.
The Holy Spirit.

In living with the Lord, we are to 1. Pour out, 2. Pour in, 3. Pour forth.
This is all according to Beth Moore, by the way, but it's quite Biblical thus far in the study.

Pouring out includes praising the Lord and recognizing His utter sovereignty and PERFECT attributes. We can't say enough about Him.
We also confess our sins, that we may be instantly forgiven and cleansed.
How incredible is that?
I'm unrighteous but because I follow Jesus Christ I'm called righteous.
And we are even allowed to give over the concerns of life to the Lord.
The little problems of this life can all be handled by Him.
Truly, He is a loving Father.

And I long to trust Him with my whole life.

So, question: if I had been born in ancient Israel, during the time of Jesus' life, and I had been a simple crowd-follower that believed in Him when He resurrected Lazarus and then jeered at Him as He hung on the cross...does that make me a real Christian in this day and age?
