Howdy!
Why was the Energizer Bunny arrested?
He was charged with battery!!!
I decided to start off with a joke this time. Comment if you would love to read more!
This week has been a complete blessing!! Now I realize what the Word means when it says that there are new blessings each day and yesterday was a big day for me. Not only did I get to hang out with my brothers and sisters in Christ, but I was also able to see how God is working in me. He has just broken me down and took me to the basics of His love and boy, was it great! Since then, He's just been building me up in terms of spiritual growth and strengthening my relationship with Him. There's still so much that I need to see and hear; I'm on board and willing to learn and see His wonders! In saying this, I'll share a little thing that God put in my mind this morning. If you received my text message, here is where I finish what I got.
While working in a biology lab last semester, we grew bean plants in light and dark conditions. The "light" beans grew normally: huge, green leafs, standing up right and about normal height. On the other hand, the "dark" beans weren't so lucky. They were very malnourished, had extremely small, white leaves, falling over and surprisingly, very long. I wondered why it was longer and did some researching. Being deprived of the biggest source of energy, the plant elongates itself using the energy it has available to try and find that source of light. Never finding one, it keeps using up the energy it has to find it because now, its a matter of life and death. If there happens to be a small crack that allows some light in, the plant immediately races towards it to receive the light's energy. Once it reaches the light, it starts making its own food and all, but its still not enough sunshine to fully sustain the organism as a whole. Therefore, the plant will die if someone doesn't open up the cabinets and let that plant bathe in the sunlight.
We are those plants. We are born into a world full of darkness and like the plant, we can't survive unless we have Jesus Christ who gives us life; a purpose to live. Using the life we were given at birth, we set out to find that which will give even more life. As we search for it, we force ourselves to grow based on our own will and power which, obviously, isn't enough to sustain us. We look for any outlet that can substitute that life-giving power of Jesus whether it be drugs, alcohol, sex and money. Spiritually, we become malnourished, hungry, ugly and hopeless if we never find Jesus. Even if we find Jesus one time in our life, if we don't seek Him even more than to just let His light shine through a small crack in our life, then its not enough to sustain us fully and we still die. The only way to truly live is to fully go into His light and let His Love come into our lives and give us LIFE!
Jesus is there to open the cabinet doors and let us bask in His awesomeness. Without a doubt, plants will go toward the light...question is: are you going to live in the light, or die in the darkness?
God Bless,
Pablo
