So I'm driving along tonight ......
then the thought came to me that if God so willed my car could flip, crash and that could be the end of me, quite a morbid thought but an interesting one.
You see when I am driving I feel so in control, like nothing or no one or any great force could impact me because I've got the wheel I know the next couple of moves. I control where I go, what speed I go at and what time I go.
I look around & I see all the other people in their own little cars feeling exactly the same way I do.
I see pedestrians walking along and they look so weak, like they could be broken by the slightest force but me in my car I am invincible.... or so I think.
I take a drive through town and all of my memories come flooding back to me but in my car I am alone and there are no memories its just me and my car going from place to place and it doesn't seem as exciting.
Then I drive along the coast and before I realise it I've stopped
I see the sea and the lights reflecting of the water
its dark
It feels a bit scary but something urges me to get out of my own little box
and so I do
STRAIGHT away the I feel the crisp air
the darkness around me is cold but is feeels amazing
Fresh, Vibrant, New yet so familiar
I feel the light breeze move through my hair
I have forgotten what it feels like to have something move me other than i myself
I hear the water and I have an urge just to go and touch it
Then I realise that life is so much better when we get out of our boxes and FEEL
When we get out and do life with people
When we are not in control
We get walk, run , jump, dance, move.
We feel cold air, we get warm and feel the sun on out skin
We sing.... badly, we hug, we kiss
WE Love
This is LIFE IN THE FULL
so get out of your box start walking it may make you weaker but life will be uncontrollable
John 1:16
And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace
John 10:10
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly
