My prayer is that my friends that I was close to, or at least cool with, realize the truth about this life. Life is more than what we can see and understand. Many questions will not be answered. Many want to know their purpose. Are you one of them? I know I have always been that type of person who yearned to know what my destiny was. And I'm finally on the path to finding out. I would have never found it doing what I was doing. And I realize now that gaining a relationship with Christ is what has filled me with peace of mind and contentment. Money will always come and go. So why rely on it? Friends come and go. Relationships come and go. So why look to people to bring joy to your life? Moments of excitement come and go. So why live only to stimulate your senses and your urges? I believe we are approaching end times, but I don't think tonight at 6pm is our last moment. I think God is sending us signs. As tragic as many of these signs are, I think it's an opportunity to rely on God for guidance. I think this is the perfect time to build a relationship if you don't have one with Him. I believe this is the right time to allow Christ to live in you. This is not the time to get it poppin' and continue to live how you want to live. Do you really think you are on this Earth to simply do what it is you want to do? God has greater plans for each and every one of us, if we only allow Him to work and do what He does best! Do you think we are only here to indulge in our innermost desires just because the opportunity presents itself? Since I left my old life and accepted Christ, I've asked myself many questions in hopes of figuring out why I was the way I was. It is only when I asked God to reveal my weaknesses and faults that I began to truly see. I was on my way to hell and I didn't even realize it. It started off small when I started going to the club and eventually I got into a few things that were just plain ole' wrong. But sin loves more sin. And I certainly had to step back and look at what I had become. Maybe some want to measure the level of sin, but sin is equal in His eyes. And it's just time to put aside the excuses and get right! My brother said it best, "You either want to live for Christ, or you don't." Some will be mad at reading this, but it's the truth. God isn't looking for sometime-y people. He's looking for dedicated children to do His work. Just like people dedicate themselves to dedicate themselves to hitting the club every weekend without fail, that's how you could be using your time for God! Trust me, I know what it is because I came from that life, and I realized that you either have to go all the way or not at all! This salvation thing is nothing to play with and it makes me sad to see people make a joke out of it! These really are the end days because people have no fear of God anymore! SMH.
