OPERATION MELANCHOLY
What is Operation Melancholy?
Thats a good question, what is operation Melancholy?... All I know is that it was Nic's idea, and he is a youth from my youth group at Central Christian Church. His plan was to use this, to take over the world, but really there may be a deep meaning to this operation Melancholy.
Really its a great idea if you consider the definition of Melancholy. Melancholy can be defined as:
1. a feeling of thoughtful sadness
2. a constitutional tendency to be gloomy and depressed
Is it possible for Christians to be Melancholy? Sure it is possible, but really should there be Melancholy Christians... I myself have had Melancholy moments, but for what reason do I live to be a Melancholy Christian. I do not live to be a Melancholy Christian, I have no reason to believe that I should be Melancholy. Its funny, because I tease my friend Dan Foreman, back in Good ol' Burtt's Corner about his having a horse shoe up his butt... well if I follow through with operation Melancholy, I will help shove horse shoes up everyones butt. To not be Melancholy, means to recognize the reason for living to its fully potential. I am truly a blessed man and I am pulling horseshoes out of me, every day and I should not be Melancholy for the truth and reality behind my being blessed.
Philippians 4:4-5 says:
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
I know that scripture I have used before in posts, but its so true. Christians should not be defined as "Melancholy" Christians, but as Christ would have us be, people who are seeking to comfort the Melancholy. As members, part of the body of Christ, we should reach out with open arms to seek and save those who are hurt and lost. Operation Melancholy is all about lending that horseshoe to those around us and if we did that everyday. I guarantee, we would no longer have a Melancholy world and there would no longer be "Melancholy Christians."
