Life

I've noticed that everyone has their own struggles going on. Most of them are about whether they are worthy or not of the love and grace that Jesus can offer. But if there is one thing i can offer people is advice.

Jesus is very real.
I know its crazy but my dad is a living testament of that. I was told that my dad probably want going to be able to walk, talk, or even drive again. After he had his attack it was really scary. I honestly believe it was a miracle when we got the call from my uncle that day! And on top of that my dad was better after a few weeks! He was driving, walking, and talking! It was amazing so much so that it still brings tears to my eyes (in a good way)! :)

I know it may sound like i just made that story up, but its the HONEST TRUTH! There is NOTHING more powerful and potent then our God!!

Personally i believe that we spend more of our time watching, reading, thinking, and even talking about things that aren't going to bring us closer to our God. For example: i was sitting in Starbucks the other day and i overheard people talking about others that were in the same Starbucks. They were being gossipy about their friends and it rubbed me the wrong way. I didn't say anything to them but it got me thinking; why do we (as children of God) not meet up in places with people (outside of homes and churches) to help the community or have a real talk about Jesus and what we read in the Bible or how we are handling things. Whether its a one on one meeting or with multiple people. I believe that its necessary to talk about the walk that we are traveling because it is a hard walk. But i just hear about new music we listen to, tv shows we are obsessing over, what clothing we should buy, what concerts we are seeing, what electronics are the best, etc. I'm not saying its a bad thing but i feel that if we continue to go down this path that people are taking it won't lead to Jesus especially if He only gets brought up once a week in churches.

But my thought is even though we have to be in the world (in order to save others), why are we letting the world control us when we should be the saviors? We should be the ones with the answers instead of the ones who are like the Hebrews that Paul was taking to in Hebrews. We should be excited to talk about revelations that we receive and show people that even though life is a struggle Jesus is the answer.

John 10:30 says that no one can steal you away from Jesus. But we live like no one can save us not even Jesus. If we believe, TRULY BELIEVE that the Bible is real then we should live fearless lives instead of fearful ones. See fearless is when you have confidence in your beliefs and yourself, fearful is when you run away from everyone and everything.

I believe we can all live fearless lives but we just have to believe, truly believe that what we hear on Sundays in church is true. And we know it is because once we experience Jesus, its like nothing we have ever experienced before!!
