When we understand our role in the overarching plan of God we will not find it difficult in submitting to the purposes of God. When we intentionally apply the change principle – a changed attitude, action, and speech – in our lives; when we deliberately and stringently follow this change principle we can be a positive influencer within and without the Christian community. It is at this point that we realize that we are participating meaningfully in the community because we become the catalyst for God to bring to pass his plan and his purposes to mankind – the redemption and restoration of mankind. It is at this point that we can stop being self-centered and be other centered because God is AND our joy will be full; the joy that Jesus promised.
True joy is not existential, emotional, and sensual BUT an uplifting of our spirit and soul when truth is truly expressed, when worship is truly offered, and life on earth is not one of meaninglessness but a living reality of sublimity and transcendence.
What do you think?
