Luke 19:1-10. Spiritually speaking, all of us are of short stature; just like Zacchaeus, who climbed a sycamore tree so he could see Jesus. The Scriptures tell us that "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". Our sinful nature gets in the way of our ability to see Jesus with our hearts eye, and live the lives for which He created us. My prayer is that God who is love might graciously use this blog to help both the reader and the writer to see Jesus; just like that sycamore tree.

Ordinary Rockstars
I am so thankful that one does not have to be a rockstar in order to be pleasing to God. And here I am using the term, "rockstar" in a figurative sense. I mean that one does not have to do anything extraordinarily spectacular to be pleasing to God. One may be a most ordinary person, living an ordinary life of ordinordinary days, going to an ordinary job, for ordinary wages. One may only have a small circle of ordinary people that they see, every ordinary day. And if that ordinary bloke lives that ordinary life by faith in the Son of God, such a person is just as likely as Billy Sunday, or Mac Powell, to be pleasing to God. We may even find, that the most ordinary of God's children are the biggest rockstars in His kingdom. As the Lord has told us, "But many who are first will be last, and the last first." (Matthew 19:30).
