Start Today

If you claim the Jesus of Christianity, don’t miss today. Easter. It’s our foundation of faith. Our starting point. Without the reality of what Jesus has accomplished on the cross, we are absolute fools. If He is just a nice guy, we are the most ridiculous movement in the history of the world. But if He is eternal love, the reality of every ideal we have but cannot find on this earth, God incarnate without sin, today is peace beyond understanding. Joy unmatched. Because He reigns! That’s faith. And that is why it is so important not to miss today. It is not just another holy day.

So where do we go from here? As Christians, it is not our job to predict the future. Nor worry about it. But to go where and when God calls, to love God with 100% of who we are, to love people as we love ourselves, and to enjoy Him forever, which is when He is most pleased.

After these things, our lives are a blank canvas, an adventure ready to begin, a story about to be written. Be creative. Take these foundational, purposeful principles from the Creator’s own words and go. Start today. Life is short and eternity is waiting. Love now. Think forever.

You might get hurt. You might get thrown in jail. You might make poor decisions. You might be average. You might lose it all. Do it anyway. At the end of the day, you have God and His strength, His love, and His plan for you. Good and bad, it’s all for your benefit. Wipe your canvas clean and start creating again. Even if you are empty and powerless, start letting His love flow through you to others. Give and go. Alone we can do nothing. With God all things are possible. Go!
