I love this picture…

because she’s happy

because it’s her favorite spot

because she has no idea how to play it and she doesn’t care

because she’s only 13 months old and loves music

because  it makes her happy

because it makes her daddy smile

because I can’t help but think about how much this picture is the antithesis of what you see on Sunday morning in most churches…

Why?

because we didn’t put in enough time learning the words, so we’re watching the screens for the next lyric

because even though we smile sometimes, it’s only to get those watching to smile

because we’ve got beef with the drummer

because our speakers aren’t big enough

because our lights aren’t bright enough

because more people go to the “other” church

because somewhere along the way we’ve lost the joy

or maybe because we’ve messed it all up and there’s no way we can look God in the face

LISTEN UP!

God cares more about your heart than your light show, desires your attention more than once or twice a week and loves YOU in spite of you.

It’s time to find the joy again,

let that joy that’s been buried deep down inside well up and explode this weekend!
