So many times in life, we live and move by our “Wants”…
I want to be happy, and so i do this…
I want to have fun, so this is the way to do it…
I want to eat so i eat, I want chocolates, so i find them…
I WANT WANT WANT…
And after awhile…we find out something weird…
Have you ever noticed that…you can WANT, but WANT’s somehow fail to satisfy?
Like…somehow, even after we get all we WANT, something is still missing?
I think the WANT way of life is way too…natural to our senses
And i’m finding that…sometimes, what i want, is possibly the worst and most harmful thing actually…
I want to only relax & play, have no responsibilities, eat what i want, drink what i want, do only what i fancy, say whatever i want to (no matter if it hurts someone), take what i want to, refuse to do whatever i don’t want to, exercise my mouth, never my brain or my body…and hmmmm…so…if i REALLY did all i wanted, would i like the person i become?
I think not…
And that’s all the motivation i need to find another, better way to live.
I’ve found that living life according to the Jesus way is hard…
the kind of Love that He exhibits is really…out of this world…
He sat with all, but had this special affection for the poor, lost, and infirm…
He walked with many, yet chose 12 ordinary men to spend most time with,
He sat in the house of sinners, and He never scoffed at them, but showed them Love
I heard Michael Ramsden say this…
Why is a gold wedding band expensive? or even Why is gold expensive?
It is ONLY because people are willing to pay a certain price to it,
people are the ones who assign value to gold or to any other thing we deem as precious.
That’s why we call gold a ‘precious metal’ otherwise it would just be a lump of metal!
Well…if that is the case…then…what do you make of this? God sent His ONLY son for us…
Look around you…look at yourself…
God has assigned a price to each & everyone of us…a PRICELESS tag…
His ONLY SON, Jesus Christ, died for us…
He has assigned us with a value beyond measure…
Was i worth it? I WANT to say NO, but God said otherwise…
And He proved it on by that sacrifice on the Cross
And how can I fight that?
So now, i have no greater WANT than this…
I WANT to be like Christ, to Love like Him & to Live like Him,
Following that example well will kill or redeem all other lesser wants…
And yes, that is something i would really WANT
