Years ago there was a 50's song titled the same as this, same principal different results. The difference being is most of us are great pretenders, I am a christian, everything is just fine. Okay well before we go becoming a lightning rod for presumptions that your life is terrific no fuss and no muss...
Lets consider just how miserable we actually are and need the grace of god just to get past the coffee pot in the morning. Not sure why he even grants us the ability to whine about how our clothes just hang on us, or taxes just keep going up and up or even the price of our expresso-latte foamalotta's or whatever it is we can't stand at the moment.
When we do get past ourselves and realize just how fragile life is, we become much more appreciative of all the little things he provides us with, going un-noticed by most throughout there day. Instead we choose to be miserable or full of pride in what we think is our own abilities, little do we give credit to the real reason we survive.
Instead lets just pretend that fate rests solely in your own hands, your destiny is by your choosing, after all wasn't the world created through chance? Have you ever considered through what process the gases and particles combined to create the complex life forms we now have?
I would venture to say more people spend more time trying to convince themselves they have plenty of time to get right with God then they actually have. Or the alternative is to continue to think "or continue to think outside some box" that pretending is a much better choice.
Not to be confused with escaping....(see the next blog entry for more on Escaping)...
Are you pretending? Are you tired of pretending everything is fine? If you are, maybe now is the time to "get real" with God, come as you are, no one will be turned away. What are you waiting for?
