Here's my props, to God!

Oh really...did I miss something?

WHATZ UP...

Hi...;-)

Don't ask me where this God thought is going..."I HAVE NO IDEA!"

How appropriate is that, wouldn't you agree?

How often do you get a sense when you're talking with someone, that "GOD" is the focus of their life and that everything is about "GOD?" I have experienced it a few times, "OK, A BUNCH."

You too...?

I often experience a "kind of aftertaste" when having such a talk. Only the aftertaste isn't sour, or bitter, it is "E-M-P-T-Y!" Something seems to be "missing" or "out-of-place."

Am I the only one that experiences this?

As the "GOD" conversation continues on I quickly realize that the emptiness is in the "WANTING" of the person I am talking with.

What is it they are wanting; love, companionship, a better job, security, fun, a little time off, and the list goes on and on.

Does the list sound familiar to you?

How does one end up with seemingly so little and that unfortunate
"E-M-P-T-Y Aftertaste?" Especially with so much talk about God!

Have you ever seen one of those "Good Guy, Bad Guy" scenes, in the movies, where the bad guy grabs one of the people close by and uses them as a shield. You know, the women, right, it is never a man...ok, I'll talk about that later....;-)

Back to the "HUMAN SHIELD." The bad guy doesn't want to get hurt. Who does?

Do you want to get hurt?

One of the SCARIEST things known to man or woman is "INTIMACY!" I mean a human-to-human, person-to-person connection.

What is the scariest thing for YOU?

I talk with so many people that simply want to share their life with another person. A person who will care as much as they do. At least until that point of "FIRST CONTACT!"

Sound familiar?

It is at the point of "FIRST CONTACT" that our protective mechanisms kick-in and quickly become an obstacle to the very thing we want.

That's right, I am suggesting that some people are using "GOD" as a "PROTECTIVE SHIELD" to avoid the risk of "FIRST CONTACT!"

Do you know anyone like this?

Seriously, don't you honor God by honoring yourself?

Does loving God mean...
...you give-up being "HUMAN?"

Over the next few days, if your up for it, try putting down your "GOD Shield" and take a risk "BE HUMAN!" Go ahead, make a mistake, look like a fool, experience your stomach as it knotts up, and then tell me "HOW GREAT" it is "WHEN THE OTHER PERSON SAYS YES?"

Be embarassed and know that those who are watching in silence, are "WISHING" they could do "WHAT YOU JUST DID!"

Consider this:

What does it "REALLY" mean to "PUT GOD FIRST?"

Have an INCREDIBLE week!

With love,

James
