Reality

Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

My sister once said that Walt Disney warped her mind with 'happily-ever-after.'

The damsel in distress is saved by her prince who gallantly rides in to save the day on his white steed.  Evil is conquered, the hero kisses the maiden, and they both ride off into the sunset.

Unfortunately, the world in which we actually live, describes a very different story.  Most of us wake up to a day that consists of mortgages, job-stress, crying babies, rebellious teenagers, caring for our elderly parents, or health problems!

World News keeps us informed of the injustices, pandemics, wars and utter chaos.

Not at all like the Fairy Tales we grew up reading in our youth!

Recently I told a friend that I was praying that she would have a good day; calm and peaceful.  But then I realized that that isn't reality-

So, instead, I told her that I was praying "Jesus" in all her circumstances, and that we would both remember that He is in control and He doeth all things well!

And by the way, I do have a hero on a white horse.  One day He will ride in and save the day....

just like He promised...

    But that's just me!

    I wish you Jesus

by Scott Wesley Brown

released in 1988

I could wish you joy and peace,

to last your whole life long,

I could wish you sunshine, 

or a cheerful little song,

Or I could wish you all the happiness,

that this life could bring,

But I wish you Jesus,

more than anything.

I could wish you leaves of gold,

and may your path be smooth,

I could wish you treasures,

or that all your dreams come true,

and I could wish you paradise,

that every day be spring,

but I wish you Jesus,

Cause when I wish you Jesus,

I've wished you everything!
