WHAT IS REAL
A new blog piece usually comes flowing out based on what is happening in your life, or what you are socially aware of and anything about which you wish to express your opinions. I have worked hard to have as few opinions as possible. I only hold to what Jesus said; “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.’ He also said “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets…”
It’s really awfully simple. Not a lot of rules or right wing rhetoric, nor left wing whining…Jesus is not a republican or a democrat. Every time someone tried to pull him into the political arena He blew them away with wisdom and love and went on about His business of love, grace and miracles, and all the time preparing, always preparing to go to Jerusalem to his appointed time of His sacrifice of His death on the cross. It was NO surprise to Him, it was why He came into this world. He let nothing sway Him to the right or the left.
He said plainly what we need to do. Jesus told us that God loved us SO much that He sent His only Son to us! And whoever really believes in Him and His sacrifice will have everlasting life! EVERLASTING… such a better deal than either party offers!
There is SO much false self-esteem floating around right now out there in this old world that you have people that sing like tortured cats auditioning for American Idol because people lied to them throughout their lives and told them they could sing, so as to not hurt and actually build their false self-worth.
Then reality hits and they’re told that they stink! They can’t believe it! No, nooooo! They either cry or are crushed to the point of flinging themselves off of a bridge; or throw embarrassing, filthy mouthed fits and swearing up and down that they are the best there is, and A.I. blew it!!!…”YOU’LL SEE! YOU’LL ALL SEE!!!!” *shakes fist….*throws chairs…
But it is a fabricated bravado and the world is filled with false images and promises and people believe it because the world is scary and they are desperate.
They are hungry to be known for something, to feed their egos and make themselves believe that there is more behind the facade than a scared human being who needs true and divine direction. A human being who needs to let go of all the bravado and fall on their knees and ask the maker of the universe to reach down and forgive them and change them and meet their needs and make them into something truly beautiful and amazing.
But there is one truth, and it shines; there is one thing to truly hold on to. The Bible gives Jesus many names; The Door, The Way, The Truth, The Life, The Lion, The Lamb, The King, Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace, Alpha and Omega, and the Rock.
Oh, He is The Rock! We cling to Him; we build our foundation on Him. When things get hard we hide in the cleft of The Rock…
This blog post is to ask you, do you know Him? Do you really know who He is, and if not, do you want to? He will change your life and your destiny. There is an eternal destiny for everyone. Heaven or hell and we must choose. He paid such a price for us; He took the punishment for our sins and conquered death! I want to say to you that through the good and bad, He is everything, now and for always. And He can be everything in your life too, if you will only ask Him.
