Short Circuit

There was a movie that come out in the 80's, I think, called Short Circuit. It was about a robot that somehow had a mind of his own and he began acting quite human. He was Alive. He would laugh, joke, be sad and had a whole gamit of emotions that are common to you and I. But he had one of the cooloest names, Number 5. Yeah nothing out of the ordinary, maybe just a stock number, but I can still remember the arabic decendent calling out, "Number 5 is alive." I know that's just Hollywood, but it also reminds me of My relationship with the Lord. Many times in my daily walk with the Lord I'm being robotic. Working to get this done, or running to meet with this person. Colossians 2:13-15 says that have been made alive with Him. that he bore my penality and sin and nailed it to the cross, and later aross and is alive at the right hand of the father anticipating and making intercession between Me and my Heavenly Father. God knows me, and you too. He knows our weeknesses and strengths and desires for us to live outside of the normal parameters of life. He Want us to have a John 10:10 kinda life. You may feel like just a stock number. No one that sticks out in the crowd, but God has redeemed you and reconciled you and me to himself so that we may know him and truly be ALIVE.
