I had someone recently just gush about their state of mind considering the fact that they were saved. That God in His infinite MERCY and GRACE chose this individual. And i thought to myself, well you have a reason/purpose on this earth.

But in this case, thats not it... She had this smile on her face, she was in awe. the words of my pastor at CCO rang in my ears. "Don't ever forget the awe and wonder of our Lord!" I get so complacent with our Lord. I ask, He does His will, I pray, He does His will, my life goes on.

Sometimes, I miss the days when I was just in awe of the fact that His grace rescued me from the pit of hell...

I wonder if people around me ever wonder about that. Do you think that your life now will lead to anything in the eternal? Where are you ending up if you took your last breath right now? Will you find yourself in the presence of the Almighty? or in Hades?

My aunt passed away this week and while my celebrating hat has been retired for this year, I am reminded that this life we live now is but a mere dress rehearsal of what is to come. Where she ended up for eternity is between her and the Lord. I cant sway him either way. Only her life and her choices will deem her fate. The same is true for all of us. In the end, its between each one of us and our Maker.

The Lord has extended his arms out to you. He has sent his ONLY SON to this world. Jesus gave His life for your sins. NOW ITS ON YOU!

Tell yourself what you may, but living in sin will not just go away or stop. You must consciously decide to WALK THE OTHER WAY! REPENT!

Love God and the rest will follow...

p.s.

please continue to pray for my brother and his choices in life. Only God truly knows...
