Laying in bed, doing my best to fall into a slumber, my mind is churning thinking about the last post. The ways of the world have never been black and white. God sees the heart, intentions and motives of every single person on earth for a lifetime. Truth is no one can say who will go to heaven or hell, that’s all lies with God. 

I’ve often strayed from this conversation because I never wanted to rustle any feathers and make others feel badly. God has shown me many times over, the truth can be painful yet being told a lie dressed as the truth can be more detrimental. I never want to make someone think God is okay with certain behaviors when His word says He is not. 

I never want to create comfort so lies can breed an illusion. If it’s not in the bible I absolutely can not say for certain what God will choose for the eternal path of any person. Above my pay grade, I speak and live the truth and nothing else. I stand on the foundation of the Most High because I want to and have too. I tried to live in the illusion of the lies and it only created more turmoil, worst of all I was separated from God. 

My greatest joy is seeing people come to Christ and watching how He transforms their soul. Belief in Jesus is the starting point. From there He works on our hearts that we may come into agreement on everything. It does not happen overnight but when Jesus is in the room people change. Jesus shows the true colors of every single person, He shows the nature that is hidden under the illusion. 

The bible is God’s love story, He is teaching us how to love Him. He is sharing what can hinder our relationship with Him and He is sharing what can make the relationship better. I’ve seen society yearn to accept all people to the fullest extent yet we won’t even accept God for Who He is. Constantly picking apart what we think is right and wrong, crazy! We do our best to accept all people while shunning God in the process. 

The most loving thing we can do is speak God’s truth with love, understanding those around us, acceptance is not condoning. Nor is real love hiding the truth because it’s too difficult to look at. Plant seeds and water is all I do, the rest is up to God. Doing my best to continue growing, leaving behind sinful and evil desires, clinging to God through it all. Talk is cheap without action. 

I don’t speak and act to condemn others. I speak and act to show my devotion to God only. Allowing the bible to keep me in check, I never want to speak out of turn and push someone from Jesus. At the end of the day God is holy and without the blood of Jesus we can not come into His presence. I do my best to remember that salvation is the beginning and sanctification is the life long process of working out that salvation with trembling and fear, Philippians 2:12-13. To have holy fear of God is to fear nothing else, complete devotion to Him, even in times when we misstep. I also realize when I truly want something and someone no one can turn us away, ever.
