Our Purpose! Our Choice!

These are very rough times we are living in. Our world is turned upside down and inside out. We have a deadly virus that is running rampant. We have activist groups that hate God and anyone who serves Him so much that they are even killing little children. We have people who are more concerned about what people look like on the outside than on the inside. Those more concerned about color than character.  I hear the term “person of color”. That makes me cringe.  The way I see it, we are all a person of color. Just different shades that’s all.
God does not care about our color or what we look like. He is concerned about our character.  Who we serve.
“We are pressured in every way but not crushed; we are perplexed but not in despair; we are persecuted but not abandoned; we are struck down but not destroyed.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭4:8-9‬ ‭HCSB‬‬
This is the Word of God.  He knows we go through difficulties.  But He promises us we will not be destroyed. He never leaves our side. He guides us, protects us, and He leads us.  But we have to be willing, and ready to serve Him. If we choose to leave Him out of our lives then we are closing the door on Him, and the blessings He has for us. He loves us more than anything. But He made us with free will. And able to choose who we decide to serve. We can choose what we will defend, good or evil.
That’s it, plain and simple, good versus evil.  God or the devil.
I choose God and good.  Am I perfect, of course not.  I will make mistakes. The same as the rest of you. But I choose to serve God. I know my purpose here on earth is to serve Him with all my heart. My goal is to see the glory of God flow across this globe and encapsulate it.  My goal is to see evil wiped off this earth and be thrown into hell for eternity.
I know my time on earth, as is all of yours, short compared to eternity. I know I will spend eternity in heaven with our Lord Jesus.
I pray that you decide to choose God, and good, and can look forward to eternity with Him in heaven.
Let’s not get hung up on color. But instead see everyone as a child of God. Choose to define your character as godly.  Not filled with evil and destruction, with no respect to life.  
“Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us — to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3:20-21‬ ‭HCSB‬‬

The Peace of God

 What does it mean to have the peace of God, in our minds, hearts, spirits?   That is a loaded question.  I like to think of it as being uni...
