I've
watched news
reports on people that have just won a pile 'o cash in some big
lottery and they are just wearing
that
same silly grin that we all had back when we received our
first big box of
64 crayons.
I mean, they're
fired
up because
they now have all the
money they could possibly use
for
the rest of their earthy-based years.
Meanwhile, I'll
meet up with a gang of
folks that have
turned their
life over to Jesus
Christ
- people that now, not only have a
direct, personal relationship with their creator in this
life,
but also have the opportunity of spending eternity in paradise with Him as well.
Oddly, I often see somber faces.
I've even heard comments like, "Oh, back before I became a
Christian, I used to have all kinds of fun, but I'd never try to
do that now." YIKES!!!
What's wrong with that attitude?
While, it is true that Jesus told us that,
as His followers, we'll need to (and I'm paraphrasing here) pick
up our cross and fall-in
behind Him, he never said we have to
lay down under the weight of that cross and do snow angels!
You see, plugging into the power of God through Jesus Christ is
as natural as breathing. Surrendering to Christ is the
completion of life, not the burden of life. No
one really believes that Jesus Christ gave his life for
everyone's sins so that we'd all have miserable existence and relationship
with God, do they?
Stop believing
some lie. It's time to kick back, loosen up and enjoy
the feeling of that Spirit given fire that burns in you like the
sun. For the joy-starved Christians of the world, it's
time to feast at God's picnic table! And for those who
don't have that personal relationship with Jesus Christ (notice I
didn't say "religion", I said "relationship"), hey,
you're invited
to the party too!
Cheers!

Enjoy
the Happy-Go-Godly Life!
