He called me, an unworthy girl, out of the dark, gave His life so I could live, made me worthy only by His grace, He adopted me, made me His own. The life on this earth is nothing but a blink in comparison to eternity - but it's the only chance we get to make a decision: Either Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior or the price of sin which is nothing but eternal separation from God, short: eternal death. We were created because God Himself loves us, He wants us to live in a relationship with Him, pain, death and darkness never were part of His plan but only the effect of us making use of our free will, a will given to us because God doesn't want marionettes, but He wants exactly one thing: Our heart, freely given to Him because He's the only one able to really take care of it - for all eternity. All things in this world will perish, you won't be able to take just one inch with you, therefore my question: Is it really worth to continue living in rebellion against the one who just wants your best? The one who is almighty? The one who respected His life worth nothing so you wouldn't have to die if you accepted Him? Will you continue to choose the temporary, incomplete and unsatisfying love of this world over the love in person which is the creator Himself? There's only one real goal in life: Knowing God, finally knowing love. Cause every other goal is nothing but grasping for the wind. Choose your final life goal wisely cause you're playing with your soul which you'll lose if it isn't God's. ✨"This people I have formed for Myself; They shall declare My praise."But you have not called upon Me, O Jacob; And you have been weary of Me, O Israel." [...] "I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins."✨ ~ Isaiah 43:21-22, 25✨💖📖
Even on my most perfect, worshipful, God-fearing day, I’m still a disgusting sinner.
Even on my most rebellious, unwilling, forgetful days, I’m still a daughter of God.
You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. These things I command you, that you love one another.
Don’t allow any excuses to stop you from growing in Christ. You don’t want to be a baby Christian all your life. Take time in His presence and in His word every day. Do what God’s word is telling you to do. Practice what you learn from Jesus.
You have experienced truth only with the abstract intellect. I will bring you where you can taste it like honey and be embraced by it as by a bridegroom.
C.S. Lewis // The Great Divorce (via theclivechronicles)
Being a Christian doesn’t mean being a good person, but following the Only One who is good.
So stumble after him. Don’t think you have to run this marathon in one day. Sooner or later, you’ll be moving from trauma to trophies. Celebrate the small victories. Even then, be humble to recognize it’s all His work.
Our lives must be free from the wax of hypocrisy. Our commitment must be genuine. If we live lives of sincere commitment to Him, we will leave no room for Satan to gain an advantage on the battlefield. What’s more, God will be glorified in us.
