The Famous One
Do you know someone famous? Could you call them anytime and ask them for something? Last night I was talking with some of our Junior High girls about famous people that we know (and that know us). It was funny how everyone wanted to throw their stories into the conversation about their encounters with fame. I even got caught up into it. For some reason, we all want to identify with or, better, be identified with stardom. This morning I was listening to the audiobook version of “Stuff Christians Like” on my iPod. In Part Ten, the author, Jonathan Acuff described an interaction he had with God when he admitted his desire to be a celebrity Christian, “I want to be famous!” Yet in the same moment that he expressed this inner longing, God revealed the truth, (paraphrased) “You know ME…the Creator of the universe! And I know you…intimately! How much more famous can one get?” Wow! That is really fantastic! All of these well-known even legendary peoples that we clamor to brush up with and the reality is we are known, loved and even pursued by the most incredible BEING that has ever existed! And we can call on Him anytime to ask Him anything…even just to chat.
