Topic: What You Do With Life

It is not what life does to you, it is what you do with life that counts the most. Magic Johnson did something with the fact of his being HIV positive. Magic Johnson is not an innocent victim. Magic Johnson is a sinner like all the rest of us. Jesus was innocent. No one compares to Jesus, but Jesus compares to us. Jesus could have walked away from the terror and suffering of the cross. Magic Johnson could have hidden his being HIV positive…at least for awhile. But Magic Johnson did something with the burden he was given. Magic Johnson is now doing something with the burden he has and that something is reaching out to others. You can do the same. Everyone has problems. Some people have big problems. Some people have seemingly insurmountable problems. If you have problems, you must not just sit and feel sorry for yourself. Each person must strive to move beyond whatever problems they have. No one compares to Jesus but through Him, there is no real problem in life when we embrace Christ's promise of immortality. It is not what life does to you, it is what you do with it. "Because He lives, because of Him, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives, all fear is gone." Each of us has a reason to live. Each of us has a reason to set our problems aside and push on with life. We are not talking about pretending there are no problems. We are not talking about running away. We are talking about pushing on despite the problems we have by doing something with what we are given.
