Windows down. Head out. Enjoy the ride.

Today on my way to work, I almost lost my salvation due to traffic. It was one of the most frustrating and irritating drives I have ever had. As I was complaining and questioning God as to why He created the driver in front of me, He gently reminded of just that, HE HAD created him. As such the driver in front of me was just as important to God, as I am. That small rebuke changed the direction of my attitude. We often times color the world and those who inhabit it, based solely on how we think things should be, or how we think people should act. But we are not here to try and fit people into our mold, we are called to help them unfold into who THEY are meant to be. That was my drive to work. On my drive home, I encountered another driver, but different circumstances. The car in front of me had a dog sitting in the front seat. The windows were down, and his head was out. His ears were flapping in the wind, and his face held an expression of  pure bliss. As I watched the dog revel in the drive. it hit me. That’s what God intended. He intended for us to ENJOY life. He intended this life to be pure bliss, however, we got in the way, sin entered the world and God’s intentions were trampled by our disobedience. Today let’s live in God’s bliss. Yes I am aware that we live in a selfish, imperfect world. But God is selfless and perfect. So let’s roll down the windows of life, stick our heads out and enjoy the ride. God’s at the wheel, we have nothing to fear.

“So do not fear, for I Am with you; do not be dismayed, for I Am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10).

So what’s the plan? Windows down, head out 😀 .
