Craziness is what makes the world round, without crazy, there wouldn't be passion.” – Wes Campton

Meaning of crazy: mentally deranged, especially as manifested in a wild or aggressive way. Or extremely enthusiastic.

There are actually approximately  25 verses that reference the word crazy in the Bible… 

I believe there is such a stigma with this word… 

I question what is acceptable in society … When I look around I see behavior that is not the norm? It is not the kind of behavior that I think is rational.  It is not how “normal” people should behave.   But who made the rules of what is acceptable?  

When we try to understand extreme enthusiasm it can look a little crazy to people who do not have a passion for the subject matter… 

For instance, many show this enthusiasm and passion for sports. entertainers? shopping? The list goes on… 

But when we show this passion for God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit many will label us as crazy, or a Jesus Freak some will avoid you at all costs… sometimes it’s even the lukewarm believers that will avoid you.

This enthusiasm can sometimes be a lonely road but it can be a beautiful spiritual experience.   It’s not of this world… it’s beyond our human comprehension. 

God will take you on the most fantastic journey if you open your heart… and trust Him. We must not be timid or afraid to embrace His love. The mission if you accept it, is to show the world who He is… 

My question is …What are you passionate about? What excites you? What is your goal? What does this excitement give you in return? Is it a fleeting moment of happiness? What is the payout and how does it help you??  Does that sports team, player or entertainer even know your name??? Did you know that God knows you so well He knows the number of hairs on your head… He knows you intimately from the beginning to the end… He held you even before you were born… He breathed life into your very soul…He has forgiven you for all your mistakes… He is committed to loving you beyond this world !!! 

For eternity!!! (there is no expiration date)

We must put value in our life our future and our love… 

However, when your name is called … I am positive it will NOT be called by the one you are chasing unless His name is Elohim… 

Passion, Enthusiasm, and Crazy come in all shapes and sizes…. Stop, and give it some serious thought.... where do you spend your time and energy?  What is the return? Does it have life-impacting results?

When you leave this world...Will you leave a box of memorabilia? Or will you leave a legacy of life and love… 

Be crazy…. be enthusiastic… be excited … because.....

He is scheduled to return soon … 

It’s Him, it’s always Him!   

It is a crazy love... I am not completely sure how or why He loves us so deeply... But I am excited about discovering more each and every God-given day ... 

Call me crazy… Call me passionate, Call me excited!!  

I SAY I WE ARE #BLESSED

2 Corinthians 5:13

So if we were crazy, it was for God; if we are sane, it is for you.

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” Jeremiah 1:5

Isaiah 43:1 - Don't fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine.

Meaning of safe protected from or not exposed to danger or risk; not likely to be harmed or lost.

We located 27 verses that speak to the word safety, 

There are times in our lives no matter how brave or strong we think we are we will be afraid… it is part of life… the unknown can be very scary. 

Even though scripture states have no fear for I am with you. Doubt will creep in. 

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.  Isaiah 41:10

So how do we learn to cling to this steadfast faith that no matter what comes we are safe… we have no fear?  Times are tough, Times are uncertain, and Times are challenging... 

I believe that we should look for His light in the darkness… His beautiful light will warm even the darkest of situations… His light will give us hope to face the days ahead… To just know that you are not alone “ever” is a comforting thought… But 

what if …. 

What if you learn to feel His love?

What if you learn to hear His voice? 

What if you can feel Him stirring in the depths of your soul? 

What if you could understand that our soul will live a life of great beauty and peace for eternity? 

What if the transition from earth to heaven is truly our soul mission? 

What if God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are real? 

What if this book we call the Bible is truly God's word? 

What if I tell you I fell in love with the greatest love I have ever known? And my life will never be the same! 

Have you ever asked yourself what if everything believers are saying is true? 

What if they are right? 

What if doubt is keeping you from my soul's mission? 

What if I am so earthly bound I never grab the opportunity to know my creator, my first love my hope for tomorrow? 

What if the answer to all of my questions points to Him? 

It’s Him, it will always be Him… 

What if you allow yourself the freedom to fall in love with Him?  I can tell you your life will never be the same. 

What if ????? 

He wows you ??? Because He wows me every day!! 

It’s Him, it’s always Him!! 

Play it safe …. And fall in love!!  He is waiting with open arms...
