Looking Up

Who do you look up to? Admire? I suppose the answer to that question tells more about us than we might realize.
Is it a 'star' (the movie kind not the celestial) or is it someone who has let the actions of their lives stand for Good against those who would bring chaos.
There are a lot of those kinds of people around just now. Nelson Mandella, Desmond Tutu, Aung San Suu Kyi, all these people stand for the good of their countries and most of all for the people of their countries. In South Africa and Burma and all around the world in big and small ways people stand for what is good. Most go un-named and without glory.
So when we stand, where we are placed by God at this particular time for a particular God given purpose how do we stand for what is good? Not self-righteous mind you...but for Good. For what God would have us do and be?
Heady questions you say... lighten up you say...

Well, these heady times are like the Easter-tide when the disciples wondered now what? What do we do with our lives now? We have this message of Gods Good great love for us... and what do we do and how do we do it?
Jesus tells us... love one another... and that will be the measure...
So.. stand up for what we all know is right...loving one another with the fierce kind of love that Jesus had... right here...right now... and spread it around...

God abide have a great day.
