Being a Christian isn't about giving up everything that makes life fun. It's not about following a bunch of rules, doing this and not doing that. That's government. That's not God.
Being a Christian, truly following Christ, is living life to it's fullest.
It's about finding hope in times of despair, strength in times of weakness, endurance in times of struggle.
God keeps His promises.
It's time to start believing what God has promised. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13). God is my refuge and strength, my ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:10). God does love me; I shall not perish, but have eternal life (John 3:16).
The promises of God go on and on. He wants us to live those promises.
That is true life.
It's time.
It's time to let go of the boundaries of this world and live as the new creations we have become. It's time to look beyond this life and realize there is oh-so-much-more to living than merely existing.
It's time to be alive. To hope in the Lord and renew our strength. To soar on wings like eagles. To run and not be weary. To walk and not be faint.
It's time to forfeit the old spirit of timidity, and accept the new spirit of power, love, and self-discipline given to us by God
(2 Timothy 1:7).
It's time to start living.
