Our Obedience To Christ Begins Today With A Life Of Prayer....
If and only if we want to overcome every single imperfection deep within ourselves we must deny our desires and welcome Christ back into our daily lives. Pain, sorrow, regret, mistakes of the past can do either two things, have us look deep within our very soul, and take very seriously the gift of deep reflection which (I believe is truly a gift from God) giving us a chance subtly to on our own to clean out of our soul, or simply deny the truth our conscience (which is given to us by Christ) as all great gifts are, revealing great accountability of previous actions that have in fact, affected other people, and more importantly your very own eternal salvation. This becomes quite serious, if and only if we are looking at it with the eyes of Christ. You see, Christ is in you whether you like it or not. In Him you move and you are. When we forget we are in Christ, we sin terribly. We use the greater gifts he has given to us, but instead of using them for his greater glory, we go in another direction. We run from God, with the power of the holy spirit that he gave us, that is housed in our very soul, we abandon Him with the greatest gifts he has given only to run amuck and follow other schemes. When all along we should have remained in total obedience to his calling of us, and the more meaningful work we could have been doing. So we learn the hard way, we lose ourselves to time, when we could be investing in the time he is given to us to invest in our eternal salvation. At some point we stop running away from God and we start running toward him. And when we start running toward him, he reveals to us exactly what is expected as we make our life long journey toward him. It is at that point we realize there is no place to hide from God. We are seen by him in the darkness and in the light of our choices, our consciences, in the way we carry ourself, in the way we speak, and how we treat other human beings. Our life is but one big test, we are either going to pass or fail, yes, God is keeping tabs on all of us, and if we are smart, we will get our act together before it is too late. Once we return to good standing, God's grace can then begin to flow. Some of the truly happiest people in the world are faithful to Christ, and in return receive a joy and a peace this world could never offer. I dare you to test the waters of Christ in his truths, they are rock solid, and worthy, very worthy of investigating. I am I believe in my heart here to convince you of the greatest decision in your life and that it has to do with having this amazing relationship with Christ Jesus. He has the power to turn your life around, even inside out, and He is so worth it because his grace will begin to flow in you like a fountain, and he has the power to forever quench the thirst of your every desire. To live in Him is sublime! To know Him is to love Him, and to love Him, is to experience the truest love of your life. In God there isnt confusion. In God there is simplicity of truth. Simplicity of joy. Simplicity of love. And that love carries over into our spirit and into the worldly realm transforming society, in a great and awesome way! We have little time to waste, and every second to offer Christ our best self. Let us begin today, right now, in giving him our yes! And our lives will transform into the children of light, the children of hope, the children of love, that this world is so in desperate need of.
