For those of you who don’t really understand this whole “Jesus” thing that’s been going around for the last 2000 years, please allow me to elaborate on the subject a little bit and make it plain and simple with one of my metaphorical thoughts of the day.
You see we’re all like a house with several rooms and this “Jesus” guy is outside of our house in the street in his little Christler 300 vehicle honking his horn hoping that we will look out the window and crack open the door and invite him to come inside.
Some of us have actually invited him to hang out in the front yard and put a fish on our car or a cross on our mailbox, but we just haven’t mustered up the nerve and courage to invite him inside yet because our house is dirty and full of stuff that’s embarrassing to us. You know the stuff that we just don’t want to give up right now like the recreational drugs or drinking and smoking or cursing and fighting or sleeping around or other self-destructive acts and behaviors.
But take heart my dear friends. This “Jesus” guy doesn’t really care about any of that stuff right now. All He really cares about is that you’ll let him in your house so he can hang out with you and build a relationship with you.
I’ve noticed that He’s really good at modeling the way that helps you to live a more meaningful, fulfilled and purposeful way of life. He doesn’t really care as much about your past, he just wants to meet you where you’re at and walk with you and help you to carve out a better future, so don’t be afraid to crack the door open a little bit and let him on in.
Oh, and don’t just let him into that one room that’s all clean with the plastic still on the furniture that’s used only for Holidays and Birthdays and other special events. He wants to occupy the WHOLE house. Yes, and also including that room with all the empty beer cans, liquor bottles and porno magazines and dvd’s too. He wants FULL access “as-is, where-is” and he can then start to work his magic.
No, you don’t have to be afraid of this guy, He means you absolutely no harm. Actually he came to prosper you and give you hope and a better future and to help you Make it GREAT!
Oh, and there’s no need to worry about your faults or failures or habits or hang-ups because nobody’s perfect, well, actually He is perfect, but none of us are and he can help us all to know better so we can do better. So Mr. BreadCrumb is encouraging you to give him a try and He’ll help you to find your “why”. It worked for me. What do have to lose?
Why don’t you let today be that day you decide to open up your front door, back door, side door or maybe even a small window but just open up something and let Him on in and let Him be a friend through your thick and thin because He can definitely show you how to Win.
Pick up a “good book” (bible) at your nearest Jesus shack and start turning some pages. Start with the book of Matthew, Mark, Luke or John and stumble into a local church or two. Then listen with an open heart and open mind and don’t be surprised when something drops in that makes you smile. :-
So open up that house of yours and let my good friend Jesus on in and let Him help you Make it GREAT. Today can be the first day of the rest of your positive life. So make that decision and Make it GREAT!
Oh, and don’t be afraid to pass it on if you’d like……
