It is so easy as Christians to get lulled into living a life of complacency knowing we have our salvation guaranteed like a ticket to heaven securely tucked into our front pocket. How easy it is to just sit back and just enjoy the "ride" of life. Saying "yes" to Christ however should be the start of an adventure of surprising joy and challenges. We have the opportunity to pattern our lives after Christ's passionate life emulating His goal . . . lavish love for others.
To us, accepting Christ is kind of like parenthood. Yes, there is great celebration and joy over that birth, but parenting is a 24/7 , day in day out, long haul of being "on call," denying our own desires and rights all for the amazing love we have for our kids for a lifetime. That lavish love drives us. We would do ANYTHING for our kids. No sacrifice is too much! Bill & Lori Smith blog
