other side

I've been sitting here for way too long
It's time that I was moving on
I know that there's a better way
I think I'm going to make a change
So come along now to where I'm going

Take me to the other side
'Cause I need something better
Take me to the other side
'Cause I want to live forever

One thing that's for sure I know
This won't be an easy road
Let me ask before I leave
Won't you come along with me

So come along now to where I'm going
Come along now to where I'm going

Take me to the other side
Take me to the other side
Take me to the other side
'Cause I want to live forever
Live forever
Take me to the other side

Those are the lyrics to the Third Day song "Otherside." GREAT song!!
"Life" teaches many lessons, some very difficult. A verse that everyone raised in church knows is "be ye kind one to another." This can be much harder to DO than to SAY. Sometimes a person just NEEDS and doesn't have anything inside to GIVE, but giving is demanded. That's where God's strength and grace and love step in and take over. So there are two sides -- God's side and man's side. Man's side is full of "self," but God's side is full of service to others. Man's side can be full of "fun" and what seems like good things, but God's side is real and true and right. Man's side holds the "pits" of darkness, depression, sin; God's side holds His perfect light.
I thank God that He allows "man" to join Him on His side!
