Bubbles and balloons

Some fly high in bubbles and balloons, but only those who find a place in Christ know the meaning of real shelter and real excitement. When we want to insulate ourselves from trouble by making bubbles and barricades in our fragile world, there is a better place to hide. Those who know Jesus have hidden their lives in God. He covers us, protects us, and carries us into real life.

Balloons are for parties and sometimes for flight, but there is an upward draft of the Spirit of God which will carry us to a sure destination. Those who live in Christ are following the Spirit of the Lord and will reach their destiny in him. He is the life of the real party, and when we know him, we know life.

Don't be carried away by frivolous bubbles or false hopes that only end in the clouds of disappointment. Trust the Lord Jesus and allow him to cheer you up, pick you up, and carry you up to the destination that you were made for!

Mark
