Too Many Thoughts.

One day I'll fly away
Leave all this to yesterday
Why live life from dream to dream?
And dread the day when dreaming ends

What is this tearing in my soul?
Where is this promised peace?
How easy it seems to drift away
And get lost from what we are supposed to be living for.

But what? How? When? Where?
So many questions with so many empty answers.
It requires so much faith- how can people with
none/little be expected to be satisfied?

This world is such a tricky snare-
How easy to be sucked under without
a warning. How many people has this
happened to? How many have satan
got ahold of? Well, I lost track. So many
that were close to me- it almost seems
natural now. Just jumping off the train.
Taking the plung. Why do they seem
happier than others who are on the path
of righteousness?

I know the answer to that- "it's a temporary
worldly happiness that won't last."
But still I must ask, the "Good News!"-
to which nothing holds a candle- why
is it such a 'burden' for Christians to share?

Wouldn't everyone just be jumping out of
their seats wanting to share with everything
and anything around? Shouldn't we be the
happiest in the world?
If we have an eternal perspective,
with the knowledge of eternity in heaven with our
MAKER, the Almighty, King of Kings,
then why does it seem like 'worldly' people are filled
with more joy than the stereotypical Christian?

It seems reversed to me. The good news is here!
now! real! Yes, I agree that maybe my vision- the
people I know, the experiences I have had, the
things that I have witnessed are different from
anyone elses, but this is what I have noticed.

We are someday going to leave this world. We
are going to either die or our Savior will come
back for us while we're still alive. Either way,
my brothers and sisters in Christ and myself
are going to Fly Away! We're going to leave
this world. We know that's going to happen.

Since we have that knowledge, shouldn't we
be doing everything in our power NOW, to
take as many people with us as we possibly
can? Why does it seem like there aren't many
examples of the 'older, more mature' Christians
doing that? Where is the example? Where
is the backbone?

Someday we WILL fly away. But we can't
just continue to go on auto-pilot trying to
get through each day as if it's such a burden.
We are the light! We need to consider each
day we have on this earth a gift from God
giving us the opportunity to SPREAD this
light. To be EXCITED and JOYFUL in spreading
this news.

This 'burden' attitude needs to turn into a joy.
A gift. A priviledge.

But why don't I see much of that? There's
too much 'burden' and not enough 'joy'.
Why? Where's the joy?
