"To all who come to this happy place; welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past ... and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America ... with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world."-Walt Disney
"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done."
-Jesus
Today I was reading in a beautiful old book called Pearls From Many Seas, the content on Activity. It made a solid point. People can create all sorts of things, entire worlds, but their perception is skewed. People feel like if they're not accomplishing something great, like Walt Disney. He is a man who created an entire world set to his own standards. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? Jesus spent 30 unrecorded years living in a dusty little town working as a handy man. then he became homeless and wandered the country side for three years as a servant. Then He died on a cross. By Walts standards I'd say he failed. But the truth is that He accomplised the greatest task in all of time. He paid the price for all our sins. Mabe I need to stop being so antsy. I need patience. I need to live by eternal standards. Who knows what success looks like in Gods plan. The only thing to do is to trust and submit.
Please pray for dicipline for me.
