opportunity

I spent some time in 1 Peter this morning walked away feeling refreshed. As we approach Christmas time and we celebrate Christ's birth, I am reminded of the gift of OUR rebirth. We have been given a gift of CONSTANT newness (yeah that is a word) as a direct result of His resurrection. Our eternal perspective sheds a new light on all things of the earth. We have a party awaiting us in Heaven. Our names are handwritten on beautiful place cards and our King awaits our arrival. I cannot tell you how badly I need HEY! DON'T FORGET ABOUT HEAVEN tattooed on my arm.

1 Peter 6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire —may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

 We have been given a multitude of opportunities to praise and honor our Jesus. We grow weary and forget that these are OPPORTUNITIES. We forget His hand NEVER lets go. We give satan credit where credit is NOT due. What if every day I woke up and looked at my day as an opportunity? Each "bad day" for Justin is an opportunity. Each time one of the boys has bad aim and gets pee all over the bathroom floor = opportunity. Each time I miss my mom = opportunity. Each time the laundry basket is full AGAIN = opportunity. 

I am humbled and honored to be surrounded by people who see the result of our broken world as OPPORTUNITIES. I get to live among people who recognize that their "calling" in life is to life like Jesus. Because we are "called" to ALL things in the Bible. Not just the pages that sound best/easiest/most convenient. Thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. WILL be done. WILL BE DONE. I didn't see a question mark at the end of that sentence.
