Bad Influence
They told me what God said that I should not do.
They told me of the thousand commandments.
They told me of order, love, discipline, faith, Heaven and hell.
I learned obedience and servanthood, sacrifice and spiritual warfare, of Church, hymns, Lordship, and devotion.
But no one told me of this wild, intoxicating friendship.
No one told me that Hi is the great Adventure.
No one told me He would be a bad influence on me.
He dares me to do the illogical and the irresponsible.
He challenges me to the high trapeze with Him, no net.
He urges me to ignore danger, laugh in the face of death, discard security, live for the moment, and be a thrill seeker.
These bruises and scars are from our escapades together.
I’m in trouble right now because He talked me into another one of His off-the-wall ideas. Sometimes He is hard to figure. I never know what He’ll think of next.
But oh, how He fires my heart!
How He challenges my thinking, and speaks to me of impossible imaginings.
He is definitely addictive and life without Him would quickly lead to death by boredom.
What’s next for us? I have no idea. I only know He is on the move again. I hope my heart can take it, and I hope my Friend always includes me.
What? You want to what?
Count me in.
