Episode 18: Stained Glass Windows

There's a component of rest that is often not talked about in church. Proverbs refers to a cheerful heart as good medicine. While that may be referring to choosing joy despite our circumstances, it also indicates that it is okay for us to have some fun in life. When we take ourselves too seriously, we begin believing that we are in control of everything. Like stained glass windows, when we put the focus on ourselves, we no longer function the way we were originally designed - to provide a crystal clear view of what's on the other side of the window. When we begin to take ourselves less serious, we take God more serious - it becomes less about us and more about Him.
