One of my favorite Disney movies is the Lion King. The Lion King tells the
story of Simba, a young lion who is to succeed his father, Mufasa, as king.
My favorite scene in the film is when Simba is being born and Rafiki, the
Baboon that acts as the King’s advisor, brings him outside and holds him up
toward the heavens as the animal kingdom pays tribute to their future ruler.
This is how I felt 16 years ago on this day when my oldest son was born. I
held him up and thought about how much promise his life held and how
much I loved him, my namesake, my legacy. To this day he and his brother
are two of the most important things in my life.
So with that in mind I can only imagine how much God must love us, that
He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not
perish, but have eternal life.
And yet, we squander these precious lives filling them with things God
finds wrong and hurtful. Often times turning our backs on Him altogether
until a crisis arises and we need a spiritual “bailing out.” Let me encourage
you to take stock of your life and the price that was paid for it and then go
out and do something meaningful with it giving God all the love he
deserves in loving us first!
