How Could We Do This?

This Blog is revolved around the theme of this video. Hopefully it will change you as it always changes me.

Have you ever stopped from your hectic life and thought about God? Have you stopped and asked yourself “how can I stand here with YOU and not be moved by YOU?”

We all strive to be people in this culture that have meaning and purpose. We want to bring something new and “spicy” to the table so others will accept us. Why is it that we are willing to do anything it takes to be accepted by those around us? We are willing to shut out God for the appreciation of the things of this world.

Why is it that we focus so much on the people and things around us and not give any attention to the very ONE who has made us and died for us? When we focus on getting noticed by those around us, we tend to fall into a sin-filled life where we gain personal pleasures and expect it to be fulfilling. We get so entangled in this way of living that we cannot get out of it. We get tied into a life of partying, sex, porn, gambling, drugs, money, etc, but what sense of worth comes from these lifestyles? Rather than being tied into these lifestyles, we get tied down by these things.

While we had set out on our search to seek out these lifestyles, Jesus was right there next to us. He was walking alongside our path quietly. He doesn’t intrude us though. He quietly and patiently seeks us out. It is as if He watches our every step. We try to make a “rhyme and reason” to our lives and put a meaning that only Jesus can make for us.

While we are seeking our sins out, Jesus is there holding out His hand for our rescue. He is patiently holding on and waiting for us to grasp onto Him so that He can take us out of the bondage of sin. It is our responsibility to recognize it and grab on or turn away and fall away even more. I believe that He is with us when we feel like we are the furthest away from Him. He is standing there waiting for us to turn out of sin and come back to His light.

So why would we turn our backs on someone who has laid down His life for our good? How could we walk away from Him? Is it the fact that we are scared of showing Him our failures? Is it because we are so comfortable living in our sin? If you have watched this video that was posted at the top, notice at the ending (4:08) that God has been reaching out to us the entire time and wants to save us from the insufficient moral of this world. When we finally do reach for Him, (4:50) He will save us from all bondage and disappointments of the world.

Please Trust Him and know that He can save YOU from the darkest of places.
