There’s something spectacular about the name of Jesus. It’s hard for the human mind to fathom true love because we’ve become so accustomed to worldly love bound by conditions. Unconditional wanting to save His creation, sharing love to all who would believe in His name. Everything Jesus does is for the betterment of His people and glorification of God’s Kingdom. He sits high and looks low caring for His creation, sustaining the galaxy in His hand. He shed blood to give us another chance to be joined with our Heavenly Father because without the blood separation is all we have. I came to write but my mind drew a blank.

Having gone to small group for the first time in weeks, maybe a couple of months. I felt my spirit lift as I was exactly where I wanted to be. Walking with the incorrect interpretation of the scripture I saw that God speaks to me for correction and edification of His word. Knowing deep down I had lied to myself when in quiet time with God, allowing my mind to think that I couldn’t help myself from sinning, but to be helpless to sin is to be a slave to it. God freed me from bondage, having accepted His salvation I have a choice of whom I call Master. Knowing God is my Savior I can walk in peace, choosing God even when it gets hard petitioning Him through every carnal struggle He will give me rest. 

Choosing carnality too often can create a lifestyle of sin thus raising the question…Have I truly accepted salvation? And why am I willing to stunt my growth in God for temporary pleasure ending in eternal death? Getting tired in my ways I could feel growing pains beginning to arise, not wanting to be a babe in Christ. Simply okay with believing but no change of action or heart for that matter, just word of mouth. Wanting more than milk, needing meat and vegetables, maturing in God walking away from sins grip because who I am is not death but life. When Jesus rose, so did I with all life in my spirit. God grants life to those that not only hear His Word and accept it but also living and doing His Word. 

Actions show the heart’s position, while words can be thrown around loosely they will either be nailed to the wall or fall to the wayside. Most Christians in other countries are losing their lives for worshiping God, while at the most I could get canceled. The Holy Spirit dwelling on the inside gives me the strength to choose God. I look at our world and write because I see a lot of folks living sinful lifestyles because they have no choice, that’s all the flesh knows. Some have no clue there’s another life to live through Jesus Christ. Some don’t know that all you have to do is have faith deep in your heart, believing God sent His son Jesus to live and die on the cross for our sins. Rising on the third day sealing salvation. 

Giving us another option other than sin’s death. I pray deeply for those that have decided they don’t want to believe in God. Life with sin is excruciating a never ending cycle of pain with absolutely no purpose to life. Life with God is hard yet resting in a never ending love that helps us out of every sinful lifestyle, walking with us moment by moment. Really the question is…do you want your life to have a relationship with God, meaning, purpose, and greater reward of eternal life? Or have a wretched life on this side just to then die and live in hell forever void of anything good especially God because He won’t be there. 

I say these words because I struggle most days against my flesh and lose quite often. Yet I was reminded that I don’t need to fight but God grants release from temptation a way out to avoid sin and rest for a weary soul when I come to Him. He fights for me because though sin is fleshly it has a spiritual master and consequences as well.
