“No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” (John 15: 13)
Easter Day #40 & #41:
A Pulsating Soul and Clean Underwear!
It’s 5:00pm on a Friday, and I’m looking back on a busy week, with a big weekend ahead!
Today’s quick installment, points to a faith that PULSATES with life and a SOUL that stays as clean a new pair of underwear!
Because its Easter (41 days have passed since Easter Sunday), it is becoming quite repetitive when I challenge all to live their faith, so I will not elaborate. I’ll just use a new word for the same ‘ol glorious challenge... Does your faith PULSATE, like blood through the vein? Does it flow throughout the “Body of Christ”, bringing life to the hands and feet of our Lord in you and me? I hope so, because WE need it, and WE need you!
Another focus has to be our SOUL! We can see the action of faith, flowing through the world, like blood in the artery! But the SOUL is different... You can’t see the SOUL, but you’ve got one. You can’t feel the SOUL, but it helps you feel your way through life. You can’t touch the SOUL, but when you see the work of God in your midst, your SOUL is touched! There is so much mystery around the SOUL, yet it is as tangible as any other part of us; so I will go ahead and make this not so comfortable analogy... The SOUL is like a pair of underwear. When its worn and old, you want a new pair, and when it is new and clean, you feel good all under!
I’ll stop there so I don’t get in trouble, but if you live your faith in a way that gives life to all, like a PULSATING vein, and you keep your SOUL clean, like a new pair of underwear, than all shall be well... Remember, the best thing we can do is give life to our friends. A close second, would be to follow that age-old advice from your mother, and make sure you wear clean underwear! :)
