Touching base

About a month or so ago while I was in the car with my family we were listening to Word FM which we often do when we are in the car together.  The evening show was on and while I do not recall what the topic of discussion was but what the one DJ had said really hit home with me and opened my eyes even further than I they have already been opened.  I really wish I remembered which DJ it was because I would have left a nice message for them on their Facebook page.  Anyway what she had said was that Jesus does not want you to be fake with Him, He wants you to be real and true with Him.  Now it might not seem like that statement in and of itself is all that mind blowing and profound but it was the context in which she used it.  The point that she was making is that we all are human and we all fall short of the glory of the Cross.  Jesus does not want us to be untrue to ourselves or Him.

We were all made to have different ideas, interests, and opinions.  We should not try to change or lives as to please others and conform to what they believe to be the "ideal" way of life.  We should instead understand that  the one common bond we all share and the symbol of our Christian faith is the Cross.  Again we all fall short of the glory of the cross and we all have our imperfections and differences, but Jesus died on that cross so that we ALL may be saved and our imperfections made perfect.

God Bless,
