Laughter is indeed good medicine, and I try to take a hefty dose of it daily. Even though it brings tears to the eyes when life is a bit too much to swallow, still the rewards are worth the taste! I know God must have a wonderful sense of humor, and He is profound in all His ways. No one could ever know what He has in store for those who put their trust in Him.
Why do we fear? What makes it so hard to believe in a God who loves us so much? What further proof could we possibly need that is greater than allowing His one and only son to die so we can live? The other thing is what is our response to this act of bravery, for taking our place? How do we show Him how grateful we are?
The answer lies in the response. Christ's death was for the purpose of ransoming lost souls from the clutches of the Great Liar. Why would anyone want to be in that loser's service?! I know I don't. He's a sly one, that enemy, and he has ways of getting a stronghold in our lives, unknowingly, or less recognizably. He's a hard tax master. He shows no compassion. Yet so many choose his empty promises and walk away from the only One who is true to His word. The One who holds your oaths paid.
Please don't hold out on the best decision you can make in your lives. The gift of life is an eternal gift, and the Master will hold you close for all of eternity. He's worth the risk. Trust Him.
Sweet Abandon...
