There's Nothing Better Than Knowing Jesus

[MrJohnsonsRib]

My pastor always sings that song in the title and every time I think of it I'm like He's so right. It seems that in these days trouble has been speeding up and danger and fear has been pouring into each and every country on earth. I am in a state of awe because even our grandparents and their parents lived saying "We're living in our last days." It's so clear to me, so clear. I often meet Christians who think the end is NOT even near. I'm like- have fun with that concept...I personally am in "aware" mode. I am starting to think more about my salvation and my family's salvation and the world's salvation. My mother always told me that all men will have died after hearing about Jesus at least once so they don't have an excuse and my heart just cries for folks who are against Him, don't desire to know Him or haven't heard of Him yet or are sucked into the occult and other idols of worship. I am also in despair knowing that their are folks who faithfully dress up and sit on the pew every Sunday looking for a feel good sermon and not the TRUTH. Folks that are so afraid to be told what to do and only told how to "Take this prayer cloth and you'll be rich". When will people realize that money and status is the very bare minimum compared to God's riches and glory? When will they realize that if eveyrbody was a billionaire, would being a billionaire be fun or cool? Would being a billionaire make you happy? The fact that your husband or wife is "to die for" but you cheat on them multiple times just makes it obvious that looks are not the only things to look for in a mate, it should be last. When will folks stop taking the part of the Bible they want but not the rest. It's ALL truth. Not just Exodus 1:2...or John 3:16 etc. I pray that folks would understand that man is born with a selfish and self-absorbed lifestyle lest they accept Christ. We are not mini God's...if anything with the mistakes I make I am SO glad that I am not in charge of me. Instead I have a merciful, wonderful, mighy, all powerful, holy God that is perfect and doesn't EVER make a mistake that runs the show. I wish folks would trust in Him because being of the world is a scary place. We are all destined to die and return to dust but He is the only one who can give eternal life. I am so glad I know Him. I cry for those who deny Him and stuck in their atheist thoughts. I once heard a preacher say that Atheist have such incredible faith because it takes twice as much faith to live every day convincing yourself there is no God to believe in than just believing in Him period. Another thing I heard was from my husband. he said the greatest lie ever told was when Satan convinced people he doesn't even exist (yet he runs rampid in our lives)....if you are a believer and find yourself complacent in your walk I will ask for you to analyze yourself and ask the Lord to show you what to do and who to pray for. No money or power or comfort compares to His riches and glory ya'll. Gold glitters but for Pete's sake Jesus said his daddy up in heaven used it as asphalt on the streets, tell me who's richer than that? *Sorry ya'll it was just my lil rant of faith. I just get so riled up when I think of all He has done for me...Ya'll stay blessed.

No Thank You for reading. I am just one of many of His children and although I am so not perfect but man just knowing there is a God that is just so forgiving and so perfect I find myself just in awe. We sang a song during Christmas service and it says "I stand in Awe of, the ECXEEDING greatness of your power!" It's just such a powerful feeling to be a part of His Kingdom and yet so many people are swayed by the other things of this world. My husband always tells me about his friends who are like "You married?!! You let a broad hold you down?!" He's like "Do ya'll have any clue how beautiful love and marriage and fmaily is when you are doing it God's way?! And do you know how unfortunate you really are when you club all night drinking smoking with ya boys and come to your dorm room and there is nobody to hold or to be in tears because they love you so much and was worried sick about you?!" God already has everything we could ever think or ask but we don't ever take it. I've struggled with trying to do what I wanted forgetting I was human and thus doomed to failure at some point in life. I tried making plans and have them fail, men who failed, family who have disappointed, store bought items that quit working...it was all made to fall apart someday. I thank the Lord for stepping in and picking up the broken pieces of my life. He is awesome.

Not to sound judgmental, but some of them are the same ones singing their songs of regret when they're old, sick and no one comes by to visit. I'm just saying...

I do like the initial post, btw.
