I woke up this morning with an easy, satisfied, and modestly tired feeling - as I often do Monday mornings, when I´ve been preaching and praying for people the whole weekend.

Being "under the anointing", in God´s presence, is the most wonderful thing we can experience in this life! The feeling of being carried and empowered by Someone so much greater, so totally omnipotent, and yet so loving, so caring, so close, the warmth,the easyness in having the words coming to you, the love for the fellow believers just flowing through you, the freedom in knowing this is God´s work, not mine, I´m just thankful for being allowed to go with Him and watch what He is doing - it´s just incredible!

It hasn´t always been like this in my life, you know.

I wasn´t exactly what you call a happy, whole, free, mature human being the evening Jesus found me.

When I got saved, to me it meant entering something totally new and different, a life where I slowly started to find myself, find my way, become what God had intended me to be, and all along that new road I found life, living, gradually becoming easier, fuller, more worth living!

When I was young I sometimes listened to Uriah Heep´s music.

One of their greatest hists was called "Easy Living".

Back then I never got around to really listen to the lyrics, and if I had I would probably not have understood what they were singing about, as I wasn´t yet saved then.

The song was written by one of the band members after he had met Jesus and become a Christian, and the lyrics goes like this:

"This is a thing I´ve never known before, it´s called easy living

This is a place I´ve never seen before, and I´ve been forgiven

Easy living, and I´ve been forgiven

since You´ve taken Your place in my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find You

Day after day on that windy road I had walked behind You

Easy living, and I´ve been forgiven

since You´ve taken Your place in my heart..."

Today I can identify with it. This is what I feel right now, nine o´clock Monday morning.

I´ve been forgiven, Jesus lives in me, and this is life, easy living, living with a capital L!

Thank you, Jesus, and glory to God!
