There seems to be a newfound energy filling the atmosphere as spring has begun to bloom around us more and more. Awakening in the morning, hearing the birds singing and squirrels scampering around the yard, brings about a lighter mood and smiles to our faces; a new sense of hope that seems to fill us from the top of our heads to the tips of our toes bringing and just makes you feel Happy! Can you sense it?
Ever feel so happy you can feel it from the top of your head down to your feet? A feeling of joy that if possible you could even dance, or maybe even dare to anyway, lol. And then there are those days when you receive such good news that ya can't seem to control the urge to do that happy dance? Can't help it- ya just feel that extra pep in your step.
Well, this morning I was thinking on this and remembered back to a movie I watched called "Happy Feet." This cute little penguin was born and as he grew he couldn't waddle around like all the other little penguins but had this little bounce to his steps; a little pep that made a little tapping sound causing those who heard it to laugh at him. No matter how hard he and his parents tried to hide it and get him to waddle, he just couldn't hide that little pep in his steps. As long as he was sitting still he was fine; but once he started to move- there it was; that little pep in his steps until he finally began to dance around. As time progressed, they shunned him and tried to put him to shame, but somehow, that little pep seemed to bring him joy as he accepted what was, and realized he was just being predestined to have 'happy feet'. But all was not lost as his tapping would be much needed to rescue his family and island from sure destruction. His little pep in his steps had sent out a tapping sound to rescuers in search of them and as the others saw their need of a Savior, they joined in his 'happy dance', that resonated so loud, they were found and rescued just in the nick of time!
Cute little move, you need to watch it! I've read about another mention of happy feet that come to rescue in time of need; feet of those who spread good news! Isaiah 52:7 tells us, "How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!" and again in Romans 10:13-15, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"
No matter how we use our feet; whether walking, skipping, jumping or dancing, they can all be put to good use to help others along our way. No greater need exists, no greater challenge is before us, than that of spreading the gospel of peace, as commissioned by Christ Jesus before He ascended back into Heaven. Our families and countless souls are dying without the hope we have in Christ Jesus and His redeeming power that can rescue them from hell and destruction, so it's time we join forces with those already in the field and allow our voices to be heard as our 'happy feet' sound out loud and clear the saving power in Christ Jesus? How will they know of God's great Love and saving grace without a messenger? And how will the message be shared without a sound!
We can use that little pep in our steps, that amazing joy in our hearts, that personal testimony within our hearts, and His Holy Word to be happy feet leading others to Christ Jesus and make our Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus smile upon us. How about it? Ya wanna make Him smile today? Be happy and share that little pep in your step and enjoy a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends. God loves you and so do I~~
