The Point.........

     You know we have all gone through life with certain sayings that have always garnered our attention. I want to throw some at you that I am sure you have heard people say at some POINT in your life.
     1. I just don't get the Point
     2. Just what is the Point anyway
     3. I am about at the Point of my wits end
     4. Can you Point me in the right direction?
     5. I have come to the Point of no return
     6. What's the Point of Algebra?
     7. What kind of Point was she trying to make with that outfit?
As you have noticed, I referred to many statements or sayings that has the word "point" in them. There is something about that word that has intrigued me the last few days as I have sought God in prayer about direction in my life.
     It is at a point that two pieces of wood join together to form the Cross. That Point shows a change in direction in the wood. One piece is vertical while the other is horizontal. The vertical piece of wood demonstrates to us the importance of having a relationship with God while the horizontal piece instructs us to have relationships with others. Those two pieces of wood meet at a point.
     Just as those two pieces of wood meet at a point, my life has came to many different points. There is one point though I want to draw special attention. It was the point in my life that I came face to face with Jesus. Was I ready for that moment? I don't believe I was. Are we ever ready for that moment? However, the Point was before me. Here He is with His arms stretched out offering Himself to me as savior and Lord. At that Point, I was going to make a decision one way or another. I would walk away with a Savior or walk away lost.
     Maybe today you are dealing with something that has brought about much frustration. Your hands have been thrown up into the air in disgust on more than one occasion. You may have even questioned why you bother to care so much about it. After all, it doesn't seem to bother anybody else. So what's the point?
     I was on a mission today trying to locate something. I gave up my manly pride and stopped and asked a gentlemen for some guidance. I asked the gentlemen if he could point me in the right direction. He sure could. He told me precisely how to find what I was looking for. How many of you are pulling up to someone right now in your life and rolling down the window with a great need to ask them, can you point me in the right direction? We all come to crossroads in our lives where we must make a decision. We want to make the right one. After all, we may never get that chance again.
     It is our, Christina and myself, prayer that we would be able to point you to Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith. The amazing part about God is that he has already seen my death. He knows the direction I need to go to fulfill what He has called me to do. I am so thankful for the POINTS in my life. Please take advantage of yours,,,,,,
