Our rapping grandma tells us how being negative steals the abundant life God has for us in “Missing Out on the Abundant Life.” She refers to Jonah, who sat under a tree and wanted to die. She reads passages from Joel that talk about aliens and giants coming back. The lesson is this: if you are led astray by emotions now, what will you do if you are faced with devouring giants and strange, dangerous aliens at the very end? The good news is, if you control your emotions now by God’s grace, you won’t even have to face the giants. As Joyce raps, “For no sickness will be allowed to stay, All negative emotions will be driven away…Hallelujah, it will be so much fun, No sadness, sin, sorrow, or decay, Everyone will want to go Your way, No demons there to steal, destroy, or kill, No one will ever need to take a pill…” Take God’s medicine instead, and enjoy the abundant life!
