H U R R Y SCURRY The other day, I left my "little log cabin in the woods" and went into the World. Wow! People rushing everywhere. Hurry, scurry, blurry, worry. Not many people realize that we're all living in a "petri dish" and as a consequence they NEVER LOOK UP because if they did, they would see this very large eye (figuratively speaking, of course) looking at all the goings on and keeping a DETAILED ACCOUNT of every action and thought. The expression "running to and fro" comes immediately to mind when you haven't been exposed to today's bustle for a while. I'm not pointing fingers mind you, I was doing the same thing, and with gusto, until I COMPLETELY SURRENDERED to the LORD (Holy Spirit) and let HIM start running things for me. Not only did my life slow down, but my perspective changed a lot. That was probably the most impactive change brought about by a personal surrender of my will to the leading of the LORD in ALL aspects of my life. You can't help but see things in an entirely new way. We are driven by our priorities are we not? When your view of things, events, people and relationships are observed and interacted with, after becoming one of CHRIST'S OWN, it all changes. For instance, people that you were at odds with for some reason or another, take on a whole new meaning to you. I know! Seems impossible right? But it's true. Folks that were regarded with disgust are now regarded with sympathy. (and I mean you REALLY feel genuinely sorry for them) Animosity you felt towards another, becomes a sadness for them that you never thought yourself capable of feeling for that person. This change of feelings(Heart) is REAL and coming from HIM cuz you know for sure, "It's HIM, because you just KNOW you couldn't have a Genuine Change of Attitude if left to your own devices." That's why HE is referred to as a SAVIOR. HE SAVES US FROM OURSELVES! We could never be acceptable to the FATHER without CHRIST. Remember, a relationship with CHRIST doesn't stop us from sinning, but as our FRIEND, HE OVERLOOKS our SIN and STANDS UP for us when we face HIS DAD for our everlasting determination. If you consider HIM to be a SAVIOR, let HIM BE YOUR'S by getting to Know HIM and let HIM truly lead you on a path acceptable to HIM. You will find that you will "like" the NEW you better as well. How could you not if HE is "Allowed" to change you into a person HE would not deny knowing. HE is right there, right in front of you, waiting for you to ask HIM for HIS hand. Take it!! It's yours for the asking! Take it, and let HIM make of you what HE WILL! What a ride it will be!! How about YOU right now? Wanna get on board? In today's "lingo" wadda trip! If today's younger generation wants an alternative reality, drugs, music, sex, and etc. don't even come close to the THRILL of a relationship with JESUS. It is the ULTIMATE HIGH ! Try HIM and see for yourself! Let HIM drop HIS "dime" on YOU ! It will be unbelievable. MARANATHA ! TH (Gino, Thanks ! )
