At the beginning of your supplications the command went out, and I have come to tell you, for you are greatly beloved; therefore consider the matter, and understand the vision.

Daniel 9:23

"For you are beloved."  Could there be any words from God more welcome than these?  Daniel was in exile in Babylon as a result of his nation’s utter defeat by the Babylonians.  He desperately wanted to make sense of his circumstances.  So he did what he had done so many times before: he prayed.  God immediately dispatched the angel Gabriel.  Gabriel revealed that God had sent him to Daniel at the beginning of his supplications.  God did not even wait for Daniel for finish his prayer.  Why? Because God loved Daniel greatly.  What a marvelous testimony!  There had been times when Daniel’s love for God had been put to the test.  Now, when Daniel was in need, God was quick to respond in love to him.

God wants to answer the prayers for those whose hearts are completely His (2nd Chronicles 16:9).  God can accurately orient you to the events of your day.  Media, public opinion, and political leaders cannot tell you the truth of your circumstances.  Only God can.  God loves you and will speak to you in His time.  His answer may come immediately as it did in Daniel’s case, or it may be delayed, but it will come (Daniel 10:13).  If it seems as though everything is crumbling around you, and you wonder why you do not see God’s activity, take comfort in knowing that you are loved in heaven.  If you are genuinely seeking God’s answers, you can go to your Father confidently with your questions, He will respond to you in love (Luke 11:13-15).

Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again,he cannot see the kingdom of God ."
John 3:3

Entering a saving relationship with Christ is a life-changing experience. All things become new, not some things, but all things (2nd Corinthians 5:17).  For the first time in your life, Christ is  Lord; God is Master.  When you become a Christian, Christ’s presence will affect every part of you.  You will have new thoughts, new attitudes, new values, and new sensitivities.  New priorities will dramatically affect your relationships.  You will view everything in your life from a Christ-like perspective.  Christianity is not something you add to your life; it is life!

Nicodemus thought that salvation meant performing certain religious exercises and holding to particular religious teachings.  He had no idea of the all-encompassing nature of salvation!  When you become a Christian, God gives you a new heart so that everything becomes new!  God gives you a new mind, like that of Christ, so you think differently.  He gives you new emotions, so you feel deeply about completely different matters.  You become sensitive to sin, so you are no longer comfortable with it.  Your recreation will be affected as you are made aware of what is honoring to God and what is not.  Your relationships will now be guided by the Holy Spirit.  Destructive habits and attitudes, previously immune to change, will be transformed.

Have you noticed the changes God has brought to your life since you entered a vital relationship with Jesus Christ?  These changes should be very noticeable as a testimony of the new life you received when you trusted Jesus as your Savior and Lord.
