uDid you ever notice that people get different during the holidays? They become part of two distinct groups. Group number one starts posting all sorts of warm fuzzy pictures and comments and encouraging everyone to be nice to each other. Group number two complains and grumbles about how tired they are and how put out they are by the stress of the holidays. It's all about perspective. How we as individuals "see" the world around us. It's very tempting to be influenced by the negative words we are fed each day. Sometimes they come from our own house. A spouse who spends hours telling their partner, the woes and pitfalls of being an active follower of God. Its so much easier to just use words instead of action. We can go to a church service for an hour a week and talk about all the things God calls us to do and we sing and praise the Lord then we get in our car and begin the journey back to a lifestyle that doesnt cost us anything. There are a few select people out there that say "I am going to live a life that reflects Jesus". It's a crazy different life than the America that surrounds us. We choose to actually live out what Jesus calls us to do. Radical thought isn't it?
I hope that today is different for you. Today you choose to "step off the bank" and witness how an amazing God can put you on dry ground in the middle of a flood swollen river we call "the American way". It will be the most difficult step you will ever take, but with trust, comes reward. Put your words into action....
