| Good, Better, Great… |
| By Rocio Baudille |

| You’re at a fine new restaurant,
the waiter is telling you all the specials of the evening. You don’t
quite understand the specials so you go with the chicken; because
you figure it’s safe and you already know what it tastes like.
Your friend on the other hand, heard the same specials you heard,
but instead of going with something familiar, asks the waiter which
of the specials is the best and orders just that. You with the chicken,
yeah, same old thing, not bad…it’s good. Your friend
on the other hand is enjoying the best food ever. |
| If I ask you how’s your
life? You might say, it’s ok; it’s good, not bad. You’re
doing good all around. But what if someone tells you, hey I’m
glad your doing “good”, but may I suggest better or great… |
| You see, Jesus has some specials
for you; He has something even better than what you usually have,
why not take it? “God had planned something better for us so
that only together with us would they be made perfect” (Hebrews
11:40). Why do you take suggestions of strangers who do not know your
heart? Why do you blindly follow and believe someone else’s
so-called “good”? They don’t know what’s going
to happen past today, they don’t know you as well as God knows
you and yet these are the ones you follow? “For God is greater
than our hearts, and he knows everything” (1 John 3:20). Life
is only as good as it gets. Life with Jesus keeps getting better and
better. You’ve heard of the saying “Good things come to
those who wait” well I tell you today, great things come to
those who wait in the Lord Jesus. |
| Jesus has great things for you,
why don’t you invite him into your heart and into your life,
tell him that you want His better for you and that your good is just
not good enough anymore. “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you
will be saved…” (Acts 16:31a) |
| “May our Lord Jesus Christ
himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us
eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen
you in every good deed and word” (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17). |
