Joyous Light Jumps Within Me Without Cartoons!

Daily writing prompt
What’s your favorite cartoon?

I smile and enjoy life without cartoons. What I watch, look at, think about, and behold lights up my heart and makes me joyously ponder and live in awe and wonder.

Passing by God’s presence,
Overlooking the bushes
Ablaze with testimony
About their Creator
And the glorious sky
That declares His greatness,
We humans tend to walk
Relying on our own shoes,
Trusting our own feelings,
Opinions, and desires
To lead and direct us,
Instead of the Spirit
Of our Emmanuel,
Jesus Christ, “God with us.”

It’s a wonderful life
To surrender to Christ
And let Him take control
So He can make you whole!

Being born again
Is to awaken to
The awareness of God
And become so conscious
Of the presence of Christ
That you let Him come
And live His life
In and through you
As your hope of glory.

Spiritual growth is
Little by little,
Moment by moment,
Step by step,
Becoming more and more
Like Jesus Christ
As you let Him
Work within you
To overflow your heart
With the fruit
Of His Spirit.

When Jesus is presented
As distant, dead, or in Heaven
It can be rather boring,
But when He is presented
And demonstrated to be
Active, living, and present
There’s life changing excitement!

It’s a wonderful life
To live for Christ.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
