Everyone loves to have fun. And "fun" has a different meaning for a lot of people, but what should "fun" mean to a Christian?
Some people think it is fun to pick on their brother or sister; others think it is fun to watch someone else get hurt have something bad happen to them. Some people think it is fun to hear a crude joke or tell a crude joke, while others may think it is more fun to play a nasty joke on someone. But, it that really fun?
I heard someone say once, "If it is not fun for everyone, then it is not fun." I think a lot of times we tend to confuse mean behavior with fun, but we would not want someone to do or say that to us.
I wonder what God considers fun?
As Christians, people should be able to look at us and our lives and say, "Now, that is true fun." People should see that we can be joyful, fun, and happy because the Holy Spirit is inside us. They should be able to see us laughing and having fun at things that are nice and good. We should be the example. Don't you have fun and laugh when playing a game with others and everyone is having a good time? Don't you find joy in seeing someone else being joyful?
There are so many ways that we can show the world how great our God is and I believe that one of those is to show the world how much joy and fun we can have as Christians. Then be prepared to give them an answer when they ask why---this is a great way for us to witness to others.
That was awsome, you did a great job!
