HomePiling up a lot of little happiness...Feb 3, 2007
It isn't the great big pleasures that count the most, it's making a great deal out of the little ones -- I've discovered the true secret of happiness...and that is to live in the now. Not to be forever regretting the past, or anticipating the future; but to get the most that you can out of this very instant.

I'm going to enjoy every second, and I'm going to know I'm enjoying it while I'm enjoying it. Most people don't live; they just race. They are trying to reach some goal they get so breathless and panting that they lose all sight of the beautiful, tranquil country, they are old and worn out, and it doesn't make any difference whether they've reached the goal or not. I've decided to sit down by the way and pile up a lot of little happiness, even if I never become a great author.

Sweet and mushy...after the first encounter...all I can think and talk about is him...after finding out that someone made the ultimate sacrifice just to be with me. The first couple of years is a honeymoon. Everything nice and pretty and the rest of my life seem to just be falling into a fairy tale of great adventure and grand proportions, where every good thing is possible. 


That's the savior part of Jesus. Much of what we hear about him and this particular encounter is filled with wonderful promises that eases us out of our trouble and dark, desperate days.

 Then came the lordship.

 

We stop dead on our tracks. One foot wants to move forward as the other foot wants to run back in panic. We get stuck in that place of critical decision like someone standing on a quagmire.

 

He gave all of himself, withholding nothing, not even his deity. Now it's our turn. Are we willing to do the same? Are we willing to move from loving God for self's sake to loving God for God's sake? The cost is too high. So we think again:  

Do we risk losing ourselves to drown in the ocean of God's purpose? What if there are no rewards as we wish or expect? No one to pat us on the back to praise us for the sacrifice? No spot on the stage to tell the people about our testimony of faith? Would we still do it? 

 

Are we ready to let go of the answer to the question, "What's in it for me?" The process is still ongoing inside of me. In most of us, I believe. And there are no pretty strategies to get us through.
