I don't know if you've noticed I'm a Christian..but I am. And this is something, quite major, quite a life changing thing, that shapes my life.
What if your life was actually significant. Imagine a life of significance. Do you feel like you're remotely important to anything going on? If so the you may be able to relate to the statements earlier. If you don't you'll have a better chance of coming to terms with things like scientific theories of evolution that don't involve God, and jungle people...or atheists.
If your life is important to yourself and a few others, the you'd want to make sure whatever it is that you pour the majority of your time into is also significant and important to some people. If, for example, you go to university, you'd hope that the course you're doing is worth the time and money, and then that you enjoy doing it and being part of what it's a part of.
This week, as is the title of this post, I've been wandering around with my head in the heavens, and my feet firmly on the ground. Even now I feel both far away and extremely close to the keyboard I'm typing on. God is really something. He has been showing me a new part of Him that I don't want to let go of. A constant intercession with Him, a similar experience, I would say, to Jesus; who walked through so many cities telling stories that had so many levels all the crowd will be amazed, not just the poor or rich, or pharisees or whatever. I've been wandering around in the very presence of God. If you knew what that felt like you'll understand when I say I never want it to stop. I've spent times just laughing because I don't know how else to react to that truth that He loves me so much.
How many of you can say that, no matter what has happened this week, good or bad, the perspective on your life is always the same. I'm still going to this place at the end, whatever happens.
Some have days where they feel they could live forever, and others they could die tomorrow. I tell you that today is a day that commemorates freedom from the idols we have. Idols, is a word I use to bring across that point, that if you pour your very being into anything, it needs to be something that will last. Girlfriends or boyfriends won't last. Jobs won't last, Family won't last. Nothing that you respect and want to see work will die for you. Your job, or uni course, or house, or car, or musical instrument, or computer, would die for you. Only one thing would surely die for you, regardless of how you treated Him. That is Jesus. Find out more.
