GET WHALE SOON

(Extented analogy about getting better at being a Christian--in the world but not of it)

Too many of us are sick, well actuall, all of us are sick. This is the reason we all die. The sickness is known as sin and this three letter word describes all the things about us that make us imperfect. Many of our imperfections we know little to nothing about until our eyes are opened. Do you realize that death has many forms and even a little death is precursor to supreme death. Our issue is that we are focused on trying to be like the other fish in the sea...but we are porpuses. We are in the world, but not of it, kind of like whales are in the water, but we aren't aren't sustained by it. Sure they partake of their world, of their current surrounding, but they must come up for air. They understand where their breath comes from. Do you ever come up for air? Or does your pleasure of the things here on earth woo you from the life giving atmosphere of God. Many feel smothered because they seek to inhale the water of the world, but they are built for the breath of God. Don't suck the world like a sick fish, get whale.
