Good Thursday morning! Jesus is Lord! During the morning check-in, one troublesome appendage wanted to remind me that it had been hurt and that arthritis was a good possibility for today. It struck me that every day, Jesus gets up to hear the morning report from His body, that's us the Church, and hears how much we are hurting every day. As is the case in our own bodies, He has the appendages that hurt more than others and those that complain more than others. Today, I resolved to be less of a complainer. Yes, there will be mornings that I hurt more than others, and I'm sure that you know exactly what I am talking about. However, we don't have to be the squeakiest wheel in the body of Christ. Awaken to some cheerful music, get one of those light machines, or think about Jesus and His wonderful promises to us, but get up with praise in your heart and on your lips for the new day. In Christ, we have this split personality thing going on. Each of us would like to go to bed peacefully and wake up in Heaven with Jesus, but we also want to live a bit longer and spread the Good News to those living in darkness. We must wait patiently for Jesus to call us home, and in the meantime... rejoice and live in Christ!
What a wonderful Savior we have in Christ Jesus!
