God’s Alarm Clock, 03JUL

JUST like telling someone they really really need to be exercising, or getting their act together by quitting smoking or stopping one of their vices, or even (and especially) accepting Jesus, all these things are better understood and more likely to happen when the benefits are demonstrated as opposed to commanded or jammed down your throat. People (just like I did) have to actually open your eyes to see the light. No one can wrench your eyes open… God’s timing, OF COURSE, yet we can TRY to be the alarm clock to shake them and say “wake up!” And yet the best way to have them look for the light is to SHOW them how much you are blessed directly because you have seen the light and now the light is shining out of you… Show them “if it can happen to me, it can happen to you”… Show them how blessed you are from doing the simple act of getting your act together… Or should I say of allowing God to act together with you….And in you…
