What a similarity to the verses of www.goodmorninggirls.org when John
is gently calling to the people of the times. “Dear children, fathers, young
men” are all examples of his address. John writes because each of us know God
or “know the one who is from the beginning,” aka God. He even calls to the
young men emphasizing any vanity by reminding them they are strong and have
“overcome the evil one.” He calls us all to his word.
Just like Einstein, many are hesitant to read further. Their
previous experiences have not been totally positive. They don’t want to leave
behind that which is comfortable for places beyond. They can make-do just fine
if they are just left alone.
We need to be the Johns who call out to others to join us.
We must take up the hands (like I try to lug Einstein’s whole body) and guide
them to the Lord. Once outside, Einstein enjoys the sunshine and cool breeze as
he studiously examines each fallen leaf. Once there, our friends will also be
able to relish in God’s word.
So I must invite others, a task surprisingly difficult for
me. I must also be living proof as a model of the meaning of Christianity. How
refreshing to be gently called and reminded of the glory of the Lord.
Enjoy your sunshine and God’s handiwork painting the trees
that surround us. Life is good.
God Uses Chronic Pain to Prove that Life is Good:

I have the opportunity to sit here midmorning
and let the Holy Ghost soothingly fill each pore. Ahhhhh, life is good.
