"Christ lives in me" Galatians 2:20

I think that we are called to live on the edge. To be set apart. Sometimes it can be uncomfortable, the way we get uneasy standing on the edge of a cliff. But ultimately God wants us to enjoy life. I think that there is a joy that goes much deeper than mere recklessness. I don't think God would be throwing us high fives if we just did what we wanted all the time. But really, God wants us to be happy.

Ecclesiastes 5:18-19 says, "Then I realized that it is good and proper for a man to eat and drink, and to find satisfaction in his toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given him—for this is his lot. Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work—this is a gift of God."

I honestly believe that God smiles when we get excited about the things he has given us. Just as God grieves with us and mourns with us and counts our tears, he also shares in our joys and laughter. He is our Father.
