Stand for something

Spring tree blossoms
Believing in a creator allows us to have someone to thank for the beauty surrounding us

 

Stand for something. The dilemma with not having a spiritual center means that we don’t have something, anything, that we can say with conviction is the center of our emotional core.

Christians are truly embracing their love, faith, and hope when they don’t make non-Christians feel uncomfortable that Jesus isn’t in the center of their life.

A wise Christian knows one thing, Jesus is the center of everything they believe. Everything.

And the beauty of loving Jesus is there is the face of our Father – who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Love is not making others uncomfortable. In the same way we would not want someone to tell us Jesus is not the center is the same as us not telling them He is.

Pray big. Heard the expression from someone talking about the devastating Moore, Oklahoma tornadoes.

Pray big. Sure, when there is a catasrophe.

But normal day-to-day? Pray big?

Is there any other way?

Can we imagine being a first responder and pulling people from the rubble?

How much are you drawn in by national disasters?

Saw 15 minutes of news coverage on the Moore, Oklahoma tornado last night.

Stunned by two things.

  1. The utter devastation.
  2. How clueless we can be if we don’t read the newspaper nor watch TV.

And then can we imagine going through life not certain of God’s love for us?
