His Life, Our Life

Today is Easter. I attended services at GCC Friday night. It was awesome as usual. It did make me think a bit so I will share!

Jesus' life was not long. He accomplished everything he was destined to accomplish per his Father's wishes. He didn't waste one moment being self centered, self absorbed, or feeling sorry for Himself. He knew that a lot of what He needed to do was scary and unfamiliar. He pushed ahead and accepted what was going to be life changing for all mankind.

Our lives are so much longer for the most part but we spend a lot of time being self absorbed, self centered, and feeling sorry for ourselves. We sit and whine and miss out on so much because we dwell on the negative instead of the positive.

So on this Easter Sunday, 2007, my message is this. Capture the positive, forge forward, and don't' be afraid. He is right there to walk with you and even if it is a scary venture, the outcome will be well worth the forward walk. Take His hand and enjoy the journey. Pick someone awesome to share it with, and don't look back, look forward, and embrace all that God offers you. If you keep refusing it, the opportunities might pass you by.

Happy Easter!
