"It is a pity that we know so much about Christ, and yet enjoy Him so little."

- Charles Spurgeon
Wish for the Worst

A guy just rejected by the "American Idol" judges (in a polite fashion, in case you were wondering) just said, "This is the worst day of my life."

I turned to my wife and said, "If that's the worst day of his life, he's had a pretty easy life."

Don't you wish the worst day of your life was not making it through a televised talent show?

It's freezing cold in my house and I'm starving.

Worst day ever.

Inklingstar,
Are all three of those statements literally true?

I'll be praying for you.

Jared,
Great point! Of course, it makes me analyze the statement. Even if he was exagerating it still expresses how he felt at the moment. I wonder why he felt that way. Could it be that his identity, his self-worth, is wrapped up in who he was as a "singer"? Thank God that our identity, our self-worth are wrapped up in Jesus. "There is now no condemnation (or rejection) for those who are in Christ Jesus."

First response: Heck yeah!

Second response: I have learned so much as I have lived through many "worst days." I wouldn't trade them in now. Some days, I can even be thankful for the light and momentary suffering I have experienced.

Third response: to the contestant - "Don't worry. You're young. There will be worse days."
