Upside Down

I spent the weekend at a camp in New Hampshire
     a weekend for youth groups...
the theme of the weekend was
      "Upside Down"

What a great theme!!  
   we should all have this as our theme...
  what could God do in this world
     if all of us who followed him
were willing to let God
      turn our lives upside down?

We say we want to be turned upside down..
    but we often say things we don't mean.
  it sounds good..but really...
     we like things the way that they already are.
If we actually turned our lives upside down
    we would have to get out of our comfort zones...
     and we don't really like that.

Unfortunately for us, God isn't interested in our 
      comfort zones....
  we cannot fully trust him in the comfort zone..
  full trust requires
    that we let him turn our world
       upside down.

When he told Peter to follow him -
       Peter's world was turned upside down.
When he asked Paul to follow him -
       Paul's world was turned upside down.
When he asks us to follow him -
         he wants to turn our world upside down.

So are you willing??  Are you ready??
   I am wanting to be willing to 
       let God
   turn my life upside down...

          let's get out of our comfort zone....
    get turned upside down for God...
        and see what happens...

I think that God needs to turn us christians
       Upside Down....
     in order for the rest of the world
         to be turned rightside up.
