[Discoveries] 08-08-07 Pixie dust

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

I'm starting a new service -- creating websites for people. If you have 
any thoughts or suggestions for me (sites you like, ways to get 
customers, improvements I could make on my own site, whatever), I'd love 
to hear them. _http://www.web4us2.com/_


/*... who will get what you have prepared for yourself? -- Luke 12:20*/

In the animated Disney version of Peter Pan, Peter is puzzled because 
Wendy cannot fly. He cannot figure it out, until it dawns on him that 
she was never sprinkled with pixie dust.

Like Wendy before pixie dust, money keeps us earthbound until it is 
given to God. Like tentacles reaching up from the grave, so also the 
lies we believe about money twist and tangle around us, until we cannot 
escape their gravitational pull without God mercifully hacking us free.

What do we truly believe? Money is the meter that reveals the content of 
our hearts. What are we, for example, without stylish clothing, a newer 
car or a nice house in the suburbs? What damage will we sustain if those 
things are taken away from us?

(I realize that our readers come from many countries and many cultures, 
so you may have to substitute something that makes more sense for your 
culture.)

Where exactly is the fear line in your heart? I know where mine is. And 
why does God sometimes pull us across it?

Let me suggest that He wants to show us the truth we never quite grasped 
before: He is on the other side. Our fears seem so real, but they are 
illusions. God is the reality.

It seems like we will plunge into the recklessness of giving all alone. 
But we are not alone. He is there to catch us.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
