Thanks for the Add

In today's world --- we are bombarded and challenged more and more to stretch our use of technology. No matter where we work, shop, or go to school, technology is nipping at our heels. We're told---email me that report, upload that photo, meet me for a video conference and memos are almost a thing of the pass---it's now "I'll shoot you and email with the details." And when we shop we're often asked "have you tried to find that item in our online catalogue on our website?" Or we're reminded to save some money by signing-up for the automated insurance or bank statements emailed monthly. But you know...

...with all the gadgets and cyber tools, humans still have a need to be involved with each others. So, we look for ways to connect through MySpace, Social Networks, Facebook and Twitter accounts....And that's the short list... of ways to stay connected to feeling, thinking and rationalizing, loving, and even some unloving people like ourselves. 

Let's face it, we were created for socialization and relationships with others.

So even in cyber world we often seek friends and acceptance of others when we visit the social networks. The term "Thanks for the add" is a catchy little phrase people use when thanking others who allow them to join their website or friend list.

It's a nice way of saying "thanks for thinking enough of me to add me to your circle of friends. I now can enjoy the perks you may offer." You know, we really do need each other for encouragement, acceptance, and relationships.

I'd like to ask you--Have you said to God lately..."Thanks for the Add"? 

Think of all the benefits He gave us on the day we trusted Jesus to be our Savior

The New Birth in Jesus Christ is wonderful. There are immediate benefits. 

In the new birth, we instantly become a new creation in Jesus Christ. We are, by the Holy Spirit, baptized into the body of Christ. (1 Cor 12:13)

Immediately, He added our names in the Lambs Book of life. We enter into the abundant life given us by Jesus Christ.  (John 10:10)

We have goodness and mercy following us. (Ps 23:6)

And immediately we received the right to live eternally with God in heaven when we leave this earth.

Yes, God, thanks for "adding me" to the multitude of those you had on your mind when you decided to die for the world.
