We are all born into sin, surrounded by it constantly. There are temptations all around us… Choices are to be made; a big part of the choice is, you either stay in the particular sin(s) – driving the same speed or you switch gears and turn into that different road.
Some roads are or have been long, lonely, hard, continuous, or even an endless road. Some are/were shorter. Though the longer we’re stuck on a long, hard, lonely one, the harder it is to get off and find the one that’s leading to happiness and hope.
Don’t get me wrong, no matter what road you are on in this world, it’ll only lead to destruction if you don’t pay attention. It makes a difference in whom you’re driving that road with… Who’s the guide, leading you where to go? Is it the worldview; where the Devil is let free to tempt and twist the truth? Or is it Jesus, God, who will fill you with hope and love for a better future? Are you alone or are you surrounded by people on the road, whom all come with their own burdens, but whom are having a hope and love. A future without tears, a future where there’s no more pain… Or are we stuck in gear and letting worldly people influence us about the ‘good or bad’.
We all have a conscious. Which I believe is connected to our souls. Where the Holy Spirit meets, where God guides and Jesus saves. But where there is room for the worldly influences and the devil who is trying to keep you from God.
Yes, a sin is a sin. Jesus hates sin. The devil loves sin. But Jesus loves the sinner who requests forgiveness, is ashamed, feels guilty and is looking for love. He wants you to pull of that worldly road and prepare you for the future of hope, with Him as leader and not ourselves…
Don’t walk or drive that lonely road, stuck in gear. Slow down. Give yourself up to God, He’ll lead you to better places, in His time. Not ours, not yours, not my time. Let’s open our tired, weary eyes, have Him carry us, strengthen us. So we may drive the road of life on earth for His glory. Not ours… His.
In the beginning God created all, we did not and cannot. We can’t re-create it for Him either. Satan tries… He twists and turns to make it look all fine and dandy until it leads to destruction. Where in his conscious, he knows, he’ll end up too. Satan wanted to be God, but he isn’t. His verdict is destruction and he’ll try his hardest to break whatever is good and full of love. Taking with him as many as he can. Envy, jealousy and so on, is a destructive road that belongs to the devil. Love joy, peace, but in due time suffering, belong to Jesus.
He gave us others around us, that are on His road, to suffer together in due time. But also to help each other out with love where needed; to endure destruction and to find everlasting peace.
You’re not alone, you never will be. The big question is: with who are you fighting the battle(s)?
