Adventure Addict?

Have you ever met those people who crave to live on the edge?

Like these people, for instance:

And then you think to yourself, "Why are they like that?" or maybe, "Why am I like that?"

After reading the Harry Potter series through again for the countless time, I have realized just how much I crave adventure. Maybe not necessarily like the above pictured, but just the pure motive to explore and to find and to create and to love. This is why I love such stories about Harry Potter and Dumbledore, Frodo Baggins and Gandalf the White, Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy, the Pevensies and Aslan, Romeo and Juliet, Beauty and the Beast, and countless others. I believe that all of these stories are a reflection of the great love affair we have with our Creator.

You see, he instilled this love for adventure in me. He made me to wonder, to explore, to discover, to yearn for something more...to yearn for him and heaven.

I believe that we, like Harry Potter and Peter the Magnificent, have destinies of our own. We have our own great adventures. And like Romeo asked Juliet to baptize him and give him a new name that they may share and then died so that he could be with her, so did our God baptize us and give us a new name, HIS, and died so that we could be with him.

It's beautiful. And it's all his story originally.

So take heart, my friend. If you feel bored or stagnant or meaningless, remember that you are a creation of the great Adventurist, and he has SO MUCH MORE in store for those who believe and take part in his great love affair.

Now let us take up swords, our wands, our rings, our lips, our hands, our hearts...and let us walk alongside our friends who remain ever loyal to us and embark upon this journey he set out for us from the beginning.
