God's Boys will be good boys!
We live in a free country! Life, liberty and the pursuit...of...happiness? Is that still a part of the country that we have inherited. We are very blessed to be endowed by our creator with this as an inalienable right...
I saw a very little baby this morning, sitting in front of me at church. Not an unusual sight and you know how much I like babies. This baby was not swaddled and so she was reaching out looking for the limits of the area around her. Not an unusual activity for a newborn. Fast asleep, her little arms reached as far as they could, searching for the pouch that had been her home for the prior months while she was inside her mommy. The walls were not there. She grinned in her sleep and reached out again. No walls were there between she and her daddy. Further and further she reached until she woke herself up reaching and when she opened her eyes there was daddy. No walls between them anymore and they were lovingly gazing into eachother's eyes, like they couldn't have done just a few weeks before.
I said to myself, that is the pursuit of happiness. Reaching and reaching for the walls which were around you yesterday and being born out of limitations into the liberty of seeing our Heavenly Father's loving gaze and thoughtful provisions for us, even in the storms and even in our sleep.
I want to be born into the liberty in Christ everyday, to pursue the, all things richly to enjoy, that God has given.
