Life...

I believe in God. When I say I am a Christian, I don't take it lightly. Here's what I believe in a nutshell:

I believe that nothing was created by chance- God created everything! Humans were made perfect, in the image of God even, but then sin entered the world and the human race lost its relationship with their Creator; God. God saw the sin in the world and it hurt Him because He loves His creation. So, because of this love, He sent His Son, Jesus, who was completely perfect, into the world to show us how life could be. But becuase of the hatred and sinful desires of us humans, we rejected Him. We love our evil deeds! So we killed Jesus. He died a martyrs death on an old wooden cross with a crown of thorns on his head. But then three days later, God proved His ultimate love for us by raising His Son from the dead, which provided a way for us to be redeemed and inherit eternal life. Jesus Christ is alive today and sitting on the right hand of God in heaven right now. And He wants to have a relationship with each and everyone of us! Awesome.

Now, I know that this may seem like a foolish thing to believe in if you haven't experienced God, but I know its true.

Tell me, what is the probability of everything (the earths distance from the sun, the amount of oxygen and nitrogen in the air we breathe, the thickness of the ozone layer, the seasons, plants, animals, ect) coming together and working for an enviorment so perfect for us to live in and it all be by accident? yeah, like impossible. Yet scientists still argue that we are a cosmic accident. WHATEVER! There has to be something... someone... behind the scenes, pulling it all together!

And what happens to you after you die? Do you really believe that the God who took time to prepare this perfect place for us to live in will leave us to rot in the ground? Surely not! God sent Jesus to die for us and prepare a way for us to live with Him for all eternity. If we want to. We have the freedom to choose. Eternal life with God? Or eternal death (which is eternal seperation from God)? The choice was mine and I chose life. Now the choice is yours... what's your answer?

If you want a realtionship with God, just tell Him. He's listening and waiting.

Why? (kinda depressed)

Why can't love on earth be like the love of God... why is is we struggle to look past the flaws of one another and truly love each person for who they truly are? And why is it we can't love to the point we would fall on our knees and surrender? I love people, but I can't seem to love them in the same manner which God loves me. And why is it that God's love is never ending and unwavering and yet we overlook it so many times? Why does it hurt so bad to lose love here, when we know God still loves us and His love is greater? Why? What can take the hurt a way? Why is it God's love can move mountains, and our love can't change our actions? Why is it that God's love keeps no record of wrong and yet ours can never forget? Why can't I forget? Why is it that we are called to be like Christ and yet we can't love like Christ? Why?

Just a thought...

"Woman is a part of man. Woman wasn't made from man's head to be ABOVE him, or from his feet to be WALKED on by him, but from his rib to be CLOSE to his HEART!"

That's My King!

The Bible says my King is the King of the Jews.
HE’s the King of Israel,
HE’s the King of righteousness,
HE’s the King of the ages,
HE’s the King of Heaven,
HE’s the King of Glory,
HE’s the King of Kings,
and HE’s the Lord of Lords!

That’s my King, I wonder do you know HIM?

My King is a sovereign King.
No means of measure can define his limitless love.
HE’s enduringly strong,
HE’s entirely sincere,
HE’s eternally steadfast,
HE’s immortally graceful,
HE’s imperially powerful,
HE’s impartially merciful.

Do you know HIM?

HE’s the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of this world.
HE’s GOD’s son,
HE’s a sinner’s savior,
HE’s the centerpiece of civilization.
HE’s unparalleled,
HE’s unprecedented,
HE is the loftiest idea in literature,
HE’s the highest personality in philosophy,
HE’s the fundamental doctrine of true theology,
HE’s the only ONE qualified to be an all-sufficient Savior.

I wonder if you know HIM today?

HE supplies strength for the weak,
HE’s available for the tempted and the tried,
HE sympathizes and HE saves,
HE strengthens and sustains,
HE guards and HE guides,
HE heals the sick,
HE cleansed the lepers,
HE forgives sinners,
HE discharges debtors,
HE delivers the captive,
HE defends the feeble,
HE blesses the young,
HE serves the unfortunate,
HE regards the aged,
HE rewards the diligent and HE beautifies the meager.

I wonder if you know HIM?

HE’s the key to knowledge,
HE’s the well spring of wisdom,
HE’s the doorway of deliverance,
HE’s the pathway of peace,
HE’s the roadway of righteousness,
HE’s the highway of holiness,
HE’s the gateway of glory.

Do you know HIM?

HIS life is matchless,
HIS goodness is limitless,
HIS mercy is everlasting,
HIS love never changes,
HIS word is enough,
HIS grace is sufficient,
HIS reign is righteous,
and HIS yolk is easy,
and HIS burden is light!

I wish I could describe HIM to you.

HE’s indescribable,
HE’s incomprehensible,
HE’s invincible,
HE’s irresistible.
You can’t get HIM out of your mind,
you can’t get HIM off of your hand,
you can’t outlive HIM and you can’t live without HIM.

Well the Pharisees couldn’t stand HIM,
but they found out they couldn’t stop HIM.
Pilate couldn’t find any fault in HIM.
Herod couldn’t kill HIM.
Death couldn’t handle HIM,
and the Grave couldn’t hold HIM!

That’s MY KING!
