A Magical World…
Last weekend Amy & myself had the opportunity to go to Disneyland, Paris for a weekend with the Kids, along with Amys Family. What an atmosphere of excitment and expectation as we walked along Main street USA, they even had fake snow falling every half hour because in Disney if its not happening then they make it happen!
As I watched families, kids, friends all from different walks of life, differnet races, different skin colours and different languages all have fun together, all smile at eachother all get on. I couldn’t help but ask myself how does Disney create such a peacful, fun and energetic atmosphere, This is gonna sound corny but sure its the truth, I thought of the words of Jesus ‘Unless You become like a child’
[Before I go on I am not about to compare Disneyland to Heaven, because it wouldn't even be a glimpse of Heaven]
I’ve read many books, writeups, articles etc about heaven, Its a place that if we are honest is way beyond our imagination, its a place that brings excitement to some and a little fear to others. But as I watched everyone get on at Disney it was hard not to think about how one day in Glory we will live in peace and harmony. I have to say Disney at times it felt a little like the stettford wives – {a little fake / robotic}
I know Sin has polluted this world right from the core of earth, but why is it so hard to be nice to people, why is it so hard to accept people, why is it so hard not to judge people, why do we always have to have the last word?
I remember reading a book called ‘training for reigning’, well if we are down here to train that means that believers need to start spreading Kindness, Love and Hope into our community, people now are shocked when they are given something for free with no strings attached, Kindness is not discount, its not a half measure, its going the full Hogg and it doesn’t have a get out clause!
Lets try to bring a little Kingdom influence to our community! This must start in our own neighbourhood, not in Africa!
