Why Is There An R?

For many years of my life I had trouble with this month we’re in.  You know, the month that starts with an F.  I just couldn’t figure out how to spell it, as it just didn’t make sense to me since no matter who I heard say the name of it, they never pronounced it how it’s spelled.  If that is the case, why is it spelled with that stupid R in it?  Who says Feb-R-uary?  I know I don’t, yet it still has the R there and I just have to deal with it….and at some point in my life I finally gave in and started to spell it like everyone else.

Why do I mention something stupid like the R in February?  Am I that short on material to write about, or is this some kind of joke?  (I know, either could be the answer with me!)  Frankly, I think it’s a simple comparison to some of the lost people in the world.  Many are out there and they just can’t wrap their heads around the idea of Jesus and/or God.  They hear about the miracles that were performed and they just can’t find a logical reason for why they happened.  They try and try to rationalize if there really is even a need for God in their lives (like I did if there is a need for that R in February), and they think that if their way is good enough, there is no need to change.

What if we could go out there and provide them with the answer for why God is needed in their lives?  What if you and I could show them that not only is He needed, but He should be the focal part in their lives?  Like the R in February that to me at one point in my life made no sense, God is the same to many in the world.  He’s there as a part of the whole, and they think they can do without Him.  Yet, in order for their lives to be whole they need Him more than they’ll ever know.

Who will you help show them the reason for God in their lives?
