It's Not Easy Being Green

The following lyrics comprise this song sung by a fictional puppet/frog of the cult classic phenomenon called (The "Muppets"wink created by the late American popular creator, director, writer, producer and actor Jim Henson.. (Try to listen to the song on the internet possible).
Although it is a secular children's song (that I grew up listening to as a child), I am taking out a particular concept to explain a point.



It's not that easy being green
Having to spend each day the color of the leaves

When I think it could be nicer being red, or yellow or gold
Or something much more colorful like that

It's not easy being green
It seems you blend in with so many other ordinary things

And people tend to pass you over 'cause you're
Not standing out like flashy sparkles in the water

Or stars in the sky

But green's the color of Spring
And green can be cool and friendly-like

And green can be big like an ocean, or important
Like a mountain, or tall like a tree

When green is all there is to be
It could make you wonder why, but why wonder why

Wonder, I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful
And I think it's what I want to be

I dare say that it's not easy being:

Black or white or brown or yellow
Male or female
Adult or a child
Tall or short
Fat or skinny
Intelligent or intellectually challenged
Old or young
Rich or poor
President or any leadership position
American or African or Indian or British or Asian etc
Physically attractive or not as physically attractive
A member of a particular tribe(s)
A persecuted Christian or member of a particular religion

See the list is neverending.
One particular thing that can't be easy is being an atheist...in all due respect.

It can't be easy not believing in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
I say that with such a heavy heart.

Truth be told...there cannot be any true peace for the unbeliever...and that cannot be easy.

Sir or Madam...
Absolutely NO amount of empirical, statistical, data-driven theoretical anything...will fully explain the awesome-ness, the majesty, the splendor, the beauty, of God....nothing...
You have been given ALL that you need...in that blueprint...His written word.

However...you CAN let go of that "uneasiness".. and get

Those answers that you seek...
That rest that you need...
The peace that only Jesus can give...in His infinite wisdom..the void in your life that can only be filled through a relationship with Him.


He's waiting on you....
Patiently....

Isaiah 1:18 (KJV)
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool

Matthew 11:29-30 (KJV)
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light

John 14:27 (KJV)
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Exodus 3:14 (KJV)
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM.....

Psalm 34:18 (KJV)
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

Nice one, yes Jesus loves all no matter who you are. Like where I read some days ago in Hebrew 3 : 1, Jesus is our Apostle and High Priest, who is compassionate to all, that is why he came in human form to pass through what human beings experience as recorded in Hebrew 4 : 14 & 15.
May we not take for granted the grace of God that has appeared to all for salvation , amen.
