Don't Look Down - Look Up.

10/04/2021

Over the last while, life seems to have gotten harder. Maybe we are tired of all this covid stuff. Maybe it's all about freedom or our lack of doing things the way we always have. For some reason, and I don't know what that is, I find life to be difficult at this time. But I'm trying to carry on.

As many of you know, a good number of people are not allowed to attend church and this has changed our religious experience completely. No matter what you say, turning on a tv or monitor doesn't do what it used to do when we were in the building. I also know that being with each other makes up a significant part of 'going' to church.

So, let me say something, not that you would stop me from doing so. We are the ones who think it's hard, more so than thinking it is just another river to cross. Moses had a problem when he took the people out of Egypt. They walked and walked on sand, and that was hard. Then they got to the river and I can hear the collective groan. "What next" was probable their cry as well. They should have said, it's time for a bath and getting cleaned up for our new life on the other shore.

As I was thinking of this I read a wonderful verse: 1 Cor 16:13-14: 'Be on your guard. Remain strong in the faith. Be brave. Be loving in everything you do'. But I think the message (MSG) gives us another way of saying to ourselves, keep going and change your attitude. Here is how it reads: Keep your eyes open, hold tight to your convictions, give it all you've got, be resolute, and love without stopping.

We need this right now. We need to be reminded to keep the faith, trust in God and He will guide us. Take hold of what is important. Get back to loving each other as Christ loved us. Smile more, say good morning when you cross paths, and most of all, be enveloped with God's love and you will be set free to do the same thing He did for us. LOVE WITHOUT STOPPING!

Something to think about
