Inspiration from the Atmosphere


Life is too short...

Life isn't too short. Not sure who began this false accusation against life. Maybe it was some adventurist that was trying to promote a vicurious lifestyle. On the other hand, it may have been developed by a team of synics to portray life as a meaningless wrinkle in time. What ever the case may be, life isn't too short. The reason we allow this false statement to transform into a mantra is because we are not using life as we should.
There is a very small statistic of people who claim to have found the meaning of life; others continue to search, and the journey continues without the true answer. I have been invited into the first group, but I am uncomfortable until this minority becomes the majority. So here it is. Only continue reading unless you are ready to completly embrace a change. Only continue reading unless the quest for meaning has left you exhausted.

Ok. I'm glad you are still here. The meaning of life is....enjoyment. Life is here for you to enjoy, and everybody knows that you never want something to end that you enjoy. You see, we were created to always work, or push, or stress, or consume. No. You were created to be envolved with the rest of creation as an apprasier. Your life determines what in this world should be appreciated. Therefore, when we appreciate things that are empty and meaningless, then life mirrors the same.
Listen to the wisdom in Deutoronomy 6:1-4. God the Father of all known creation says, the only reason the decrees and commands were generated so that you may enjoy life. Enjoy life...? Doesn't sound like the typical voice of God, but it is. God is telling us that He puts rules into place, not to hold us back, but to release us to the freedom of enjoyment. Maybe the reason you haven't seen this level of enjoyment is because your life is marred with too much.
The key to enjoyment is simplification. I know this is a challenge, but underneath the layers of your life, is your peace. The question is, how despirate are you to want to experence the freedom of enjoyment. You next level of enjoyment begins right now!
A man that doesn't work doesn't eat, but a man that doesn't work smart doesn't live. Choose life!

CHURCH!

  1. Chu'ch! The fullness of humanity is not something that is restrictive and abridges our freedoms, as many have thought (and understandably so, because the main prophets of a godly life, were far too reactionary in their approach to experience). But true life, as Luther would have stated it, is "true liberty". It is not, "don't do this, because I want to take away your freedom", it is "this is the best way to do this, in order that you might maximize your freedom!" The Kingdom of God, is the restoration of his creation--right now! Check Romans 8, Paul tells us, that creation was subjected to futility, but it awaits us---the sons of God---, that we mayv"enrich it, embrace it, enjoy it"!

  2. It's amazing how much you enjoy that freedom once you understand that. God is so good. I love the Lord so much. Truly.
