and yet...

"...Jesus has called us to live a life of unimaginable adventure. It begins the moment we choose to follow Him." ~Erwin McManus, Chasing Daylight

I agree with Mr. McManus, as he says in Chasing Daylight, that God has been horribly misunderstood in our time (and probably long before our time)... and that He's been badly misrepresented. We're forever giving Him a bad name, and/or imposing on ourselves all sorts of restrictions and limitations He never intended for us. His is a glorious plan. His is a tremendous purpose in our lives. The other day, I was reminded how following Christ is not easy, pretty or free. But... it is, most definitely, the most rewarding experience in all of life. It is an adventure that comes with the most amazing rewards and blessings. It's real life. And it all starts with a moment of decision.

"The journey chose him, but the adventure was his to chose." ~entry 203, The Perils of Ayden (McManus)
