Choices

Imagine a world full of people who believe in Jesus Christ.

Imagine a world where people show God’s love instead of their own love.

The world would be a happier place.

But we do not live in that kind of world. We live in a world of hardship and sin, where people tear each other apart. Where kindness is a rare dead. It is so rare that you can find more hate crimes on the social media websites than people loving each other. Was this the way it was meant to be? No it was not but it is the reality that we live in now.

I firmly believe that every one will experience God sometime in their life. I also firmly believe that every person in the world will get a choice in his or her lifetime. A choice to believe or not. To believe in the one true God and His love. A love so grand that God sent his only son to die to give us a choice to believe or not.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

God does not want his children to perish. He lets us decide if we perish or not. It is a choice to go in all different paths of life or choose the one that is laid out for us. The one path of an unconditional hope.

“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but have the light of life.” John 8:12

It is our choice to give our lives to him. He will not make that decision for us. God lets us have free will to choose. He will put doors in our way so that we can choose him. But in the end it is our choice to open the doors to Him.

“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened.” Luke 11:9-10

The door (lifetime of hope) will be opened if we just ask it to. If we just choose the one path. That one path that I keep talking about is believing in the one true God and His son Jesus Christ. 

For the people who do believe it is our duty to share Jesus. Jesus is not meant to be hidden. He is the light of the world. Light is meant to be spread.  It is our duty and privilege to help others with that choice.  It seems so easy just to talk about Jesus but when it comes down to it our sinful selfish natures come out instead of Jesus. This happens to me all the time. I hate it but I know through my mistakes Jesus can shine. I am so glad that I was given the chance to choose. Even when I fell away from God before he opened another door so that I could choose again. I have never been happier.

There is always hope in darkness.

I heard this once and loved it “Jesus is bigger than history” meaning he is attainable today.
