Tyndall Effect

Tyndall effect (ˈtɪnd ə l) — n
the phenomenon in which light is scattered by particles of matter in its path. It enables a beam of light to become visible by illuminating dust particles, etc .
[named after John Tyndall (1820-93), Irish physicist]

A Christian's responsibilities are simple. Show God's light to the world. Prove His work by example.
God loved us so much that "while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." We owe it to Him. We are bought with a price ... a veryVERYvery steep price ... it cost His life. Once you accept this bargain, you will never be the same. Your life will no longer be yours. This may sound dreadful, but it will be the best decision you ever made.
To live a life that illuminates God's existence is very challenging. You have to put your beliefs in overdrive in a world of mopeds. I find myself giggling at the fact that I'm living all-out as an extreme conservative, oh the irony. Nothing in my life seems to be ordinary. Maybe that's how God wants me to live my life for Him, by giving up this futile attempt at trying to fit in.
Instead, I should realize that He requires me "to stick out like a sore thumb." In today's society, we need to radiate, spread, disperse, reflect God's light.
We need to get off the fence, get out of the grey.
Take a side, take a vow.
It's okay to be deep, just not shallow.
There's more to being than just being.
More danke ( "donkah" , German for "thank you"), less donkey.
Let's believe for the best like Don Quixote.

Dear God,
Give me the courage to glow You, not me. Break this mold I try to fit in, this shell I hide in, this curse I'm living. Let me be Your heart here on earth. Lord, Let me be Your will in motion. Let me be Yours.

Meaning of Life


I've previously blogged about life with a purpose, but I never said what that purpose was. I say it now for all to hear {or read}; it is to GLORIFY GOD.
Everyone always says that the meaning of life is some huge mystery. No, it's not! We were created by God for God. Sure He created the angels too, but they don't have free will. That's what makes us His masterpiece. That's why we must choose Him. Think about it; If you created something, wouldn't you want it to love you out of free will? That's why He wants us so much. That's why we must glorify God, because we should want to (not have to) and that's why we were created. It's our purpose. It's our meaning.

If I'm wrong about God, what do I risk? Spending my life believing in little things like faith, hope, and true unconditional love? ... What do you risk if you're wrong? How about spending eternity without those things!
