Ever have someone do you a favor, out of the blue, for no other reason than that they care about you and want to help? Probably our parents more than anyone and boy do we take them for granted?!
How did that make you feel?
I can tell you how I felt.
I felt ashamed that I needed help.
I felt overwhelmed that someone would do such a thing to help me.
I felt a sense of loyalty to this person.
I felt that I could never truly repay them, but I would try.
I felt a strong attachment to that person because of their kindness.
Now...I want you to consider and think about this.
If you believe that there is a God in heaven...
If you believe that He sent His Son to Earth...
If you believe that His Son showed us a way to live on Earth...
If you believe that same Son went to the cross to die for our atonement...
If you believe that Son, Jesus, died for us to have everlasting life sharing it with him...
How in the world could it not change you?
How in the world could it not change your perspective?
How in the world could you not be so thankful that you tried to live for Him every day?
I get asked occasionally if I am "super religious", and what is crazy is that I often get caught with trying to phrase exactly what my answer should be.
So here it is...I believe that what was done for me is like no other "favor" I could ever ask for and it is only logical that I live each day thankful to the extreme for it.
And that favor changed me for the good, it only makes sense that I would want to share it, with anyone and everyone who will listen.
If that makes me super religious, call me guilty.
