BOB RAMBO

Recently my wife Susie and I went to see The Help - the movie about well-to-do white women in the 1960s and the black women who worked as their maids.  In particular, the movie focuses on the relationship between a young white woman who wants to be a writer and the black maid who tells her what life is like from the maid's point of view.  

These two women RISK a lot - because in those dark days from our past, such interaction between races was NOT ACCEPTABLE, even ILLEGAL.  But as they open up to each other, they forge a relationship that TRANSFORMS both of them.

Something like this happens when we welcome God into our lives.  God is constantly reaching out to us - and when we open up our lives and invite God to come in - we begin to experience a relationship with God.  

The Apostle Paul wrote If anyone is in Christ, they become a new person.  The old passes away and they become new.

Today, may you experience God's presence that can transform us and make us “new”.

Have a great day!
