I Present to You..... God

God is pretty awesome, if you ask me. He's everything to me. He's the one I depend on for peace, strength, and joy. Daily I strive to keep my mind, body, and spirit a temple for Him; one that is clean and pure. This is just a sample of what He is to me.

Don't focus on one portion of the Bible to fit your life or situation. Don't put God into a box. He's the Savior, provider, healer, deliverer, and everything you ever want or need.

If you trust God because of your feelings, you aren't saved. It's not about your feelings or what I feel, but what God said. If He said it, I believe it. This is what I was taught to believe as a child. But it was only when I found out for myself that God was all I had heard Him to be. He really is a friend to the friendless and a father to the fatherless. At moments in my life, I've been in both of those situations. He was there all the time. He kept me safe when I was in complete danger. It's not until you take get there, that you can even begin to understand.

You must get in a place where you don't mind risking the things of this world to get a better relationship with God. When you take a risk, He won't leave you out to dry, He will show up and rescue you. But He doesn't plan to rescue you, for you to just turn around and die in your sin.

Make the decision to turn from your sin and God will give you the strength you need to overcome it. When you understand the condition of your disease or sin, you will make the necessary steps to change it. But maybe you need to get to the point of desperation before a change is made.....

Well each hour, minute, and second that passes, we are one step closer to death. As you know, we don't know the day or the hour that our time will come to say goodbye to this side of life, but trust me, it's coming. We are in no position to say "No" or "Not right now" when God comes knocking on our hearts. The time is NOW.

It is time to get a relationship with your creator. The one who is always there. I know because even when I've been 14 hours away from my family, I have peace and joy. Joy that comes from above. Peace that surpasses all understanding even in the midst of chaos.
