It's amazing to me how we humans, in our sinful and arrogant state, think that simply because we fix in our minds that something is true, that it is. We can become so fixated on something that no matter how many times we are told the truth, we will choose to only believe a lie. I've said it before and now I'm saying it again, what we choose to believe or not to believe will never change the everlasting, eternal truth of Jesus Christ. Here is truth: Jesus Christ came to this earth by virgin birth, lived a sinless life, died on a cross and shed His blood as an atonement for our sins, was in the grave for 3 days and then was resurrected from the dead and ascended into Heaven where He sits at God's right hand. He will return to rapture His bride, the church, and will ultimately return to this earth to fight the final battle and to rule and reign. There is one way to the Father, and that is through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. This is essential truth - now there are a million non-essential truths that many people fight over. But the truth of Jesus Christ will stand the test of time no matter what anybody says. We can dispute it until we're blue in the face but it will not change. I'm sure you're thinking "Well, just because you say it's truth doesn't mean that it is..." you're right! The fact that I say it doesn't make it the truth. The fact that God said it does. In the end, the very word of God, His logos, will stand. It has stood for centuries, milleniums. It will stand until the very end and then live on in eternity. I pray that your eyes will be flooded with light today so that you can know and understand the hope to which He has called you and how rich is His glorious inheritance in the saints. I love each and every one of you - no matter how many bad things you think or say - no matter what you believe - it is the same relentless love that Jesus Christ has for you! The only reason I can have it is because He has given it to me. Left to my own devices, I would have written some of the more volitile off a long time ago. But I can see your hearts through the eyes of the Spirit - I see your lonliness, your desperation to find something true, the miserableness you feel over your past and your present and your future, the hopelessness you have, the void in your heart because of a lack of love from others. Maybe you hate your parents, your spouse, a friend. Maybe you detest your dead-end job and your seemingly ignorant co-workers. Maybe the only way you can cope with every-day life is to lash out at others in the name of truth. I don't know. But what I do know is that Jesus Christ can take all the hatred, desperation, miserableness, hopelessness, and fill the void in your heart. He loves you when no one else can stand you. He is a Father to the fatherless, a lover, a best friend. He is the ultimate loving authority. He is pursuing you. You won't be able to get away - it's why you come to this blog each day and to others like it. David said in Psalms, "where can I go from Your spirit? If I make my bed in hell, there You are. If I fly to the heavens, there You are." Nothing you say or do will deter Him. You are on a one-way collision course with a greater destiny than you could ever imagine. Sooner or later you will have to make a decision. Your run-in with Him is inevitible. Lay down all your self-love and independence - give your life over to Jesus Christ - just see what He can do with you. I guarantee that if you do, you'll barely recognize yourself by the time He's finished - or maybe I should say you'll recognize yourself for the first time.
