Saturate...

I want to live life in full color...

"...He who is coming after me is mightier than I...He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."   Matthew 3:11

Photography is a new hobby of mine. I use it to create Christian memes with inspirational quotes and Bible verses. I love for the photo’s colors to be saturated. In other words, to be deep, rich, and full colored. I want to live a saturated life – walking in the miraculous and glorifying Jesus. Only the Holy Spirit can cause a meat-and-potatoes, made-of-dust life to live this way.

The original Greek New Testament word for baptize in the verse above is Baptizo: meaning to baptize, to dip, dye, immerse, plunge, submerge, inundate, flood, swamp, soak, douse, drench, and saturate.

Ponder each one of these words in the definition. Which one pings your heartstrings? For me now, it is saturate. To be so full of His Spirit I can’t absorb any more of Him until He is poured through my life to others.

Yeah. I want to live in the continual baptism of the Spirit – Book of Acts style – in full color for Jesus.
