Dying with style

Since the new year started I have participated in four funerals.  We tend to shy away from thoughts of death but If we all have something in common, it is death.

Another thing we have in common is the legacy we leave as we pass on into eternity. One could say that each day that we are closer to death but I don't fear death... I want to live so victoriously that  death fears me.  As I observe people at all these funerals you can tell the people who have lived well. These are the people who seem to always be there in spirit, who live on people hearts, minds, phrases,  and actions. These people are  constantly resurrected in smile-filled memories and "remember when moments".

I believe that If I continue to live for Jesus (and I will) death will fear me...what I mean is that I will never die, my presence will remain by the influence I had on people.  I choose to die with style  how about you?

Light Switch

Some times you say things so many times you forget how  profound they are. "Never be afraid of the dark...simply turn on the light." is what I said. It overjoyed me as I began to realize the change in this persons perception as I rattled off something I have been saying for years. The truth is that we only appreciate the light when we are in the dark. I understand darkness, you can't see whats really going on, You don't know where you're going , and it is much easier to hurt yourself. The good news is the light switch. Jesus called Himself the light of the world and then later called us to be the light of the world. Why do so many people who claim to know the light live in darkness?

I can't help but to find myself in dark times as everyone else its inevitable but I always know that I can turn on the light which is literally the a touch of God in my soul. I have always found it amazing that Jesus is "in" me...not on me or around me but in me.  We always look outside of ourselves for the light switch. when the whole time The Lord speaks to our deepest most internal place, the soul.

The soul is the most ignored part of our bodies. We notice right away if we are hungry, in pain, comfortable but how often do we pay attention to the soft whispers of our soul.  Yet that is where our divine Savor places the light that is Himself.  We often look to outside of our selves for God yet he hung on a cross so that he could remain in us as we are in Him.

Is it dark? stop stumbling in darkness, Jesus put the light(himself) in you if you have accepted His Lordship.
