Loneliness.
Where is God? How can I live? I can't see God, so is He real?
I've felt this way before, just like the rest of you. We all at some time come to a piont of doubt and despair. There comes a point for all of us that we just can't tkae it anymore. We feel cheated or mocked. Thinking we give so much to this great unknown God and we still can't see Him.
We question our faith on the "deal breaker" that we can't see Him. And in our society, if you can't see it you don't believe in it.
I, like the most of you have felt this and some time. But It gives a realization, if you'll accept it that maybe it's not God fault, maybe it's ours.
What if the reason we can't see God has nothing to do with God "withholding" something from us. What if the reason is because we are sinful and have fallen short of the glory of God. What if it's because we would die if we saw Him. Or there is the fact that God is Light and in Him is no darkness; and it's because of us, who are darkness, that the two cannot join as of now.
But I'm not here to shame you into believing that it's all your fault and there's nothing you can do about it, no there is hope. Because we aren't complete without God. And God doesn't want to just leave us there. He wants to be with/in us. But it's up to us to accept His outstretched hand. Yes, we've sinned and thus cannot join with God because we are darkness. But that's what Jesus is for: to set us free so He can live in us. Jesus sets us free.
But this is all a choice, as to wither you accept and ask for what is given.
It's a choice.
And when it comes to seeing God. On earth we can't. It is possible to see Jesus or angels, but not God. It says so firmly in God's Word.
But we can see God through other things. We can see Him through His Son. We can see Him through what He does. We can see Him through the Word.
And we can HIm know through talking to Him, reading His Word, and worshiping Him in spirit and truth.
Your not alone. God is with you, wither you accept it or not. His love is there for you even when your for God. His love is ALWAYS there for you, no matter what. God loves you and there is nothing you or anyone else can do to change that.
Don't fight God and give in to the world and the Devil.
Give in to God, fight the world, and fight the Devil.
God will never give up on you, Don't give up on Him.
God is with you! If God is for you than none can stand against you.
God sees you! God knows you! And God loves you.
Don't give up.
Look to God and choose life!
By the Grace of God

More Recently
Hello Everyone,
It's been a while since I've posted. Sorry about that. I'm going to try to stick to a weekly schedule now.
Each week's post will be on Tuesdays, so you can be looking for that.
Now for the actual post:
Recently in my life I've been facing, like the rest of you, the challenge of sin. And we all have one sin that always creeps up on us over and over again. For me it's time management. And I know you all saying, but that's not a sin!" Well actually for me it is. I have the problem of spending time in things that are useless instead of investing my time in the things of the Lord. So in that, in choosing to live and spend my time selfishly, I'm sinning.
And more than just being a challenge, it's a battle. I have to continually be making the choice to give my time to God instead of myself. And something I realized recently really brought some light to my situation. When I gave my life to Christ, I gave Him MY LIFE! That means everything. But that not something you just do once. You have to continually be giving yourself to God. But back to the revaluation. I realize that because I'm a Christian, my life is not my own. So if I'm spending it to self indulge, I'm misusing someone's property. God's property.
And that's that. My life's not my own.

Love, Marrage and Valentine's Day
Hello all!
As you all well know, today is Valentine's day. For some this is a day for giving flowers to a girlfriend. For others, it's taking out their wife. For hallmark it's a made up holiday to sell cards. For me it's a day to think of the future. As most of you know, I have a strict policy. I won't get into a deep relationship with someone if God doesn't tell me to. I believe that when it comes to getting married, God will choose a wife for me. What that doesn't mean is that I won't like my wife. Not at all. If I let God choose, my wife will me perfect for me. God knows my heart and everything in me. And God is a good God and as a Father wants to make his children happy, God also wants to make us happy. So with that said, I'm leaving the choice of my wife to God to choose, because if I chose, I'd probably screw it up.
With all that said I want to talk to you about love. In this culture there is a completely messed up and polluted view of what love is. Love isn't an emotion or a feeling. It's not something that you feel, it's something you do. It's a life style you live. In 1 Corinthians it says,
"4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
So love isn't what we as a generation have come to see it as. True love is something we hardly ever see. Love is a choice you make ever day. And with your relationship it comes down to wither you love yourself or him. And it's the same with a man and a woman in a relationship. You have the choice to favor your self or you can choose to love the other and care for them.
So when it comes time that you have someone in your life that you care about more than the others and God has lead you to them, will you love them more than your self? And you can say yes now, but the true answer is shown ever day when you have the choice to choose you or them. As with so many thing, it all comes down to a choice.
So as you go about your day today, pray and ask God to lead you to the one that He has for you. And when you do so, put aside your emotions or your attractions to people and ask God no matter what the answer who He has for you in your time to come.
And I'll leave you with this,
Philippians 4:6-7
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Have a great day. And God bless.
