Let’s get straight to the point, shall we? The truth is when we look at our life and the obstacles that come before us, many of those issues are there because of one person, our self. When I look into my life I see that I am the catalyst to most of what is going on, both good and bad. We have to take ownership of our sin, now we do have stuff that comes into our lives because of other people, but even in those cases, we are in a relationship with them. When its family it is obviously a tough situation to just break off the relationship, but we must start to live our life for what God says is best for us. Now, sometimes that means walking away from those that are holding us back. That is living with our Future Glory in mind. It does not mean we do not pray for them and their healing, but we cannot allow them to lead us astray anymore. We have to surrender and turn to Christ, because what you start to realize and is very hard to swallow is that your life is not about you. I do, however, have some AWESOME news, your life matters to Jesus. He wants you to live a life where you can pour out his love onto others and he will take care of you. Romans Chapter 8 is a preparation for us to realize the trials and tribulations we suffer and experience on Earth cannot even compare to the Glory that awaits us in Heaven. The problem is we are a show me now kind of creature so we want it now. We want Money Now, We want Success Now, We want Sex without Relationship Now, We want the Quick Fix Now. It seems like we have no intentions of grinding through these desires and working towards them. There is no magic wand when it comes to Jesus, and I know that many of us know that, we just need to be reminded moment by moment. What has come to my heart, mind and soul is this ” THERE IS NOTHING WE DO HERE THAT IS GREATER THAN WHAT IS WAITING FOR US THERE!” We do not belong to this Earth, but to Christ. If we begin to live by this truth it will not only mold us into better Men and Women, but also Husbands, Fathers, Wives, Mothers, Friends, Brothers and Sisters. Let God Mold you, simply say Lord, Here I am, All of me for you! Amen
One Love, One Cross, All Christ!
