The problem with many Christians today is this: until one has experienced Jesus and His Holy Spirit, it's hard for them to understand that there is more to their faith. I mean, why should someone trust what we tell them about Jesus unless they can experience it for themselves. Witness it being lived out in OUR lives.
I woke up at 2:20 am with another song in my head. Hmm. I wonder. Is there something I should be writing about?
This song was about lost love and the writer was lamenting about a relationship that is now gone. But pride prevented him from finding his true love - Jesus. He just wanted an "ordinary world."
I won't cry for yesterday
There's an ordinary world
Somehow I have to find
And as I try to make my way
To the ordinary world
I will learn to survive
If he only knew what awaits him. He longs to have his ordinary world instead of an extraordinary world that he cannot see.
Why merely survive, when you can thrive!?
For most of my life I thought I knew who Jesus was. However, I did not really KNOW him. Not like I do know. And I am STILL getting to know him. But it is a deeper and more meaningful relationship than it ever was when I THOUGHT I knew him.
"Seek Him and you WILL find Him, when you seek Him with all your heart." - Jeremiah 29:13 (Bob's paraphrase)
"Take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability. ¹⁸But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen." - 2 Peter 3:17-18
An extraordinary world awaits those who seek Him with all their hearts. Have YOU found Him yet? Are you sure?
Ordinary World - Red
