Well it's been a while since I've written my last blog. It's obviously a result of being busy and well losing the drive to keep this up.
Since my last blog, Jesus has been more merciful, loving and giving to me. And I continue to prove to myself that I don't deserve any of it and that it's all in his power and nothing to do with me.
I have realized that I am ungrateful and sometimes selfish. I am working on it but I've given into my selfish wants so many times that it becomes hard to fight the urges.
I am praying and asking for Jesus' strength because I am simply weak.
What I have also noticed since my last post and believe me I am in no place to judge but it is quite frustrating. I have noticed that there are many people who have grown up in Christian households and feel that they knowledge they get from being in a Christian home is all that they need to be a Christian.
As a result of this, Jesus' name is tarnished and the bible is made to look like a work of fiction and contradiction.
Jesus is not the problem, he is the solution. People are the problem but yet Jesus is still the solution.
Just because you know some prophets names and some bible stories doesn't make it ok for you to sleep around because you want to. Just because you can quote one or two scriptures doesn't make it ok for you to steal, lie and cheat.
I understand we all struggle but so many do it without any indication or realization that what they're doing is wrong!
When you no longer feel convicted about the wrong you've done, you're in a dark place. We should do as much as possible to avoid reaching that point. Confess your sins to God, (he knows them anyways) and then ask him to help you do a complete 180 change.
Sometimes the world does a really good job in drowning out the voice of God and make Jesus seem irrelevant in today's world. However, it is exactly what is needed today for us to deal with life's burdens and to move towards an existence Jesus hopes for all of us.
I pray for my growth in Christ as well as for those who need it. Ask and you shall receive, a simple message because Jesus makes it and wants it to be real simple to get his help.
