To be like Jesus we have to surrender our life to Him. Not too often do we find men and women genuinely willing to do something so sacrificial for God. However, those of us who have crossed over that line, not so imaginary, realize the great value of receiving the gift of God's gracious nature over flowing to our very heart's and minds that are opened through the gift of the Holy Spirit. We can all agree, that it is certainly difficult to walk away from the luxuries of this world in exchange of living in and being in a real relationship with Jesus Christ. There is a lot of disbelief, separating the wheat from the chaff. We have learned to live in excessiveness, unnecessarily, to the detriment of our well being. We need not to be excessive but balanced. Only Christ teaches orderliness in a way that helps us for the duration of our journey in life, in the world and the after life. Take time to notice God in nature for example, in the grandiose beauty of seeing a humming bird. If God did in fact create all of humanity he could create a bird that is tiny, fast, vibrant, flies backwards and forward like an acrobat, that same God created the entire universe, the place where you and I get to live and play during the duration of our life time. You would think God would have our complete attention after all of that. Nay! We as human beings, go on living ignoring so much as if we created the ant, the butterfly, the sun, the stars, the moon, and the rest of the planets. Please. Humans have acclimated way too much, so much we have blind sided ourselves into believing in a false reality. This universe belongs solely to God. And so do you. But when we reach the end of our road, physical death of the self in the final analysis, something truly wonderful happens, for those of us who seek, finally get to meet this wonderful, amazing God, who created us all and gave us the ultimate gift, eternal life.
