A Different Perspective with Berni Dymet

It’s easy to get things out of perspective. We stub our toe ? and all we can think of is our sore toe ? everything else goes out the window. And perspective comes when we look at the big picture ? creation ? the God who created it all.

To be honest ? sometimes ? our problems seem bigger than God. They just do ? it’s kind of natural ? they feel like they’re closer than God, and so they look much bigger than Him. That’s when we need to know how Great God really is.

You and I only have a short time left on this earth ? a limited time. So ? what are we going to do with it? Spend it, waste it, save it ? or invest it?

Remember that old Scottish song ? the lyrics go 'And ye’ll take the high road and I’ll take the low road'. Seems that wherever we turn? there are two roads in life. The high road, and the low road.

Don’t know about you ? but when I get towards the end ? when I’m on my proverbial death bed if it ever happens that way, I want to look back on a life that made a difference. On a life that counted for something. Problem is by then it’s too late. We have to do something about it now. So how do we live a life that counts?

Seems that one of life’s great paradoxes is that the more we try to fill ourselves up with things ? wealth, possessions, experiences, entertainment, whatever ? the more we try to fill ourselves, the emptier we feel. It’s a universal condition. So here’s a thought ? is the opposite also true? Could it be that the more we pour our lives out for others, the more content we’ll feel? Hmm?

I used to think that, that . Life’s all about winning. So you set out and okay we lose some and we win some. So we win. So what? Then what? I mean ? what comes next? Do you see the point?

You know what I love about God? He is so straightforward and down to earth about the stuff in life that really matters to us. One of those things is satisfying our need for purpose and direction and fulfilment. It’s a need He understand ? because it’s something He put in us. And it’s a need that He knows how to meet.

The reason that so many people spend so much time, I guess running and hiding from God, is this sense that they’re not worthy. They’re not good enough. They feel they need to clean up their act before they go to God. And since they never manage to do that, well ?. But what if that’s not true.

Of the 2.2 billion Christians alive on planet earth today, sadly the majority are so focused on the here and now, they struggle even to imagine that they could have an intimate, powerful, life-changing, personal relationship with Jesus.

Over the last couple of weeks we’ve been chatting about friendship on the program. That’s great. Friendship is God’s idea and it’s part of God’s plan for you and me.

Jesus did some amazing things. One of the things He did was to call together a rag?tag little band of 12 disciples to be His closest friends. In fact His relationship with them ? when you think about it, is quite surprising in many ways.

Jesus had some pretty inconvenient things to say. One of them was this: that we should be prepared to lay down our lives for our friends.

Love ? love lies at the heart of who God is and why He sent Jesus to this earth.

Let me ask you something today ? how do you go about choosing friends? My hunch is that quite a few of us have never really thought about it too much. We just have ? friends.

Let’s face it, people can be a pain in the neck can’t they? And so what many of us do is we isolate ourselves. Oh, we might be surrounded by lots of people, but we isolate ourselves emotionally.
