Be Open to Spiritual Awakening

A young man described a life of drugs that resulted in close brushes with death. He still has a bullet at the base of his skull. He remembers thinking as he was hit, Oh God, please save me, and felt touched by the spirit of God. Yet he continued to use drugs. When the alarm buzzes we must choose whether to get up or to go back to sleep. Likewise, a spiritual awakening is an arousal, which we can take as a starting point for a new way of living. The good judgment is to take advantage of the awakening.
