The radical difference Christ makes

Am I suggesting that making

Christ the focus of one's life,

Looking to God for all that

Makes life wonderful,

All challenges will suddenly cease?

In no way.

There will be sharp struggles

From time to time.

And how could there not be,

Given the monumental

Activity we're involved in?

But our day-to-day experience

Becomes, because of Christ,

Much more alive --

Happier, healthier, free.

Life becomes a real adventure,

And in the situations that once

Would have defeated us,

We now find ourselves

Having the mastery.

Nothing can equal that feeling

Which comes to us

When Christ sets us free.
