Man! I wish life felt like this sometimes...walking on a beach in my bare feet, watching the sun set low in the crimson sunset. But no. Life seems to grow always harder. Always more tedious and exhausting. What am I doing wrong? Society tells me that we should "do what feels right," and "enjoy yourself." But the more we seek after life's many pleasures, the more we feel like we are walking on thorns. So what are we doing wrong?
Well, I have realized today that we are going about this all wrong. It's not that we are "doing" something wrong; it's that we are "viewing" things all wrong. We are walking on a beach. We have the Son shining down us, we have all the things we ever really need, and more than that, we aren't really "doing" anything at all.
Look behind in you in the sand. You see a set of footprints...whose are they? You might say "Well they're mine, of course." But they're not. Life is good because those footprints don't belong to you. We have all been carried the entire way, and those footprints in the sand are Jesus'.
We're constantly saying "Rescue me from death, God, my saving God," and Christ is saying "I have loved you with an everlasting Love!"
So today, realize that you are at the top of the world - not because you climbed there, but because God Himself has carried you there on His strong shoulders.
"He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed, trusting in the Lord." Psalm 112:7
