Thoughts at 4am :D

I've been thinking a ton lately about life,

How it passes so quickly,

How precious and fradgile it is...

and yet we all, Myself inculded, treat it so worthlessly

we worry about so much and ignore that which truly matters...

we worry about money or clothes or reputation or this or that when really it doesn't matter.

All that matter is God, God and His people and the love He has for them.

And by 'God's people' I dont mean some chosen breed of people who are called and holier then thou

I mean all beings, each and everyone who was MADE IN HIS IMAGE

Gen. 1:27 says

"So God created man in his own image,

in the image of God he created him;

male and female he created them."

Have you ever really thought about that?

God chose to make us in HIS image, not that of a monkey or a whale or a tiger or a tree but in the IMAGE OF THE ONE TRUE GOD!! that Blow my mind.

God has called us and asked us to love Him, to love and serve Him with all we are.

He has asked us to open up our hearts and be transformed by His love and His being, to be closer to Him.

To hold NOTHING back,

not our addictions,

our hate,

our loneliness, 

our inner words of self hatred,

not what we do when we are alone,

or the actions that result from lies from satan,

God asks-no He doesn't even ask, He demands us to give Him EVERYTHING

and I mean How can we not?!?!

I mean He gave His life,

He is not asking for us to do anything that He has not already done

think about it if you were hanging out wiht your BFF and suddenly a guy came up to you and pointed a gun to your head and your friend jumped infront of you,

without thinking or caring about their life

they gave it all right away,

well Jesus did this except He did one better,

He DID think about it,

All His life,

At any moment He could have said no I'm done and called a bazillion Angels to come down and give up their lives,

but He didn't,

He CHOSE to stick it out,

He CHOSE to give it all,

He CHOSE to give up a family on this earth for His Heavenly family

He CHOSE to give up the fast fading 'fun' for the eturnal fun

He CHOSE to litterally DIE, stop exhisting here on earth for YOU and ME!

this makes me rethink what really matters...

Clothes?

Cars?

Ipods?

Marriage?

Money?

Fame?

is it eturnal or is it earthly?

Does it really matter?

Matthew 16:15-16

"But what about you?" he asked. "Who do you say I am?"

Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

 

wanna know what mattered most to Him? read about it, read about Him, His word was not made for someone elseat some other time but it was written for you, for NOW
