The potential for a happy abundant Christian life is available to all who would make Jesus the Lord of their lives yet there are many Christians whose lives lack the joy and fullness of a truly happy life. A keen observer once said to me "You Christians seem to have a religion that makes you miserable. You are like a man with a headache. He does not want to get rid of his head but it hurts him to keep it. You cannot expect outsiders to seek earnestly for anything so uncomfortable."
