My Kind of High

((high [hahy] adj.- exceeding the common degree or measure; strong; intense))*

Many people view the definition of high differently. When asked what high means, most people would say when your on drugs and you lost all control of your mind and actions. Something of the like. But the high I'm talking about is stronger than any drug, alcohol, or substance. My high is Jesus Christ.

I grew up in a home that was Chrisian-based and my family went to church every Sunday and prayed at every meal, but I didn't know the meaning of Christianity. You see, I am not some religious guru and shun anyone that says a bad word or 'sins'. I just happen to have a personal relationship with Jesus. Some people might think thats weird and uncommon and may think "Well, whats that supposed to mean??" It means that I am wholly devoted to Him. He is my best friend. And a great listener:) He cares so much about me and everyone in this world. Everyone is a sinner and He loves us even though we let him down constantly. And that is the reason he died. For you and me. Because he loves us so much and he would die a million times and go through all he did again and again for the sake of us.

I probably sound like a total freak, but its so true. Some people get their 'highs' from sports, a hobby, drugs, or something that causes them extreme joy. I just get this feeling inside of me like I'm glowing and that i would do anything for the sake of that feeling. He is inside of me. It is the most amazing feeling too. And i dont have to experience it alone! I have a bunch of great friends and leaders that have the same exact feelings and when we come together we're like a shining beacon showing people the way and we are so happy. Nothing can compare. Not even a little.

Okay, I'm done with my sermon now! I wanted to write about it so you get to know me, since this is a huge part of my life! Thanks for listening:)
