the truth

Ok so the truth is, God gave the BEST that he had to us, as a sacrficial offering that we may live in peace, comfort and the ultimate satisfaction, with God Himself. He gave his son, his FAVORITE son, His ONLY son, to die for the sins WE COMMIT so we can live with God, who gave us HIS BEST. And all He asks for in return is for us to give Him our best. He just wants us the best of us. But what do we do? Go to church on Sundays, don't really think about God and His ultimate sacrfice for us, maybe a few nights out of the week, we'll remember to pray as we're falling asleep, but can we honestly say that is our best? There's no way...He wants us to leave everything behind and follow Him. Live like His only son lived. Jesus was equal with God. If we were equal with God, does it make sense for us to give up everything and live as a homeless person, humbly serving your father? No...He should be sitting beside him on a throne where He belongs, but instead, as an equal to God, he came in human form, lowered himself below God, was hoomeless, hungry, tired but rejoiced and did it all for the sake of His fathers name. But who are we to roll down the streets in our hummers and Lexus when kids are starving all over the world. We as humans, so far beneath God, live like we think we should be up there sitting next go God himself. Of course we'd never actually think it...but actions speak louder than words.


....i'm still processing through this thought, so more to come i'm sure...

break these chains

Schools over, and December is half way over…and I haven’t written a blog in almost a month. I SUCK! If I go back to January’s blogs, and read over my new years resolution, It was to blog my spiritual journey. And it seems as if I’ve done a pretty decent job, but only the good days. Whenever my spiritual journey is blooming, I write about it. But I really don’t like writing about the bad stuff. I’ve definitely had some ups and downs this year. I feel like I’m in a plateau right now. But I feel stuck. You know when you are having that bad dream where someone is chasing you, and you can’t run move your legs to run away? That’s pretty much the best way I can explain it. Not that I’m not trying…now I won’t be stupid… I know I could try harder, but like I said…I feel stuck. In some crazy sticky mud! How can we just break free from the chains that are holding us down? Because I really think this whole being stuck thing…it’s getting really old.
