Dare to Believe

I wasn't sure where to start with this blog post but here we go!

This past week I have stayed with a family that has been close to my heart for a while now. The mom, who is like my mom always says "I can't wait for eternity. It can't come quick enough." That could be taken in different direction but in her eyes, it's to be with God. What else is better than that? Nothing! Nothing will ever be better then being with God face to face and being in heaven.

So many horrible things happen in this world, wicked, wicked things. School shootings, abuse, bomb threats, 9/11, hurricanes, Tsunamis, and whatever else you can think of. We feel like time is going to run out but we get disappointed to realize that our hour glass just flipped itself over again and these tragic things will keep happening. Day after day we think, the sun has set again but tomorrow is a new day that waits to begin. Each day is a gift from God, we aren't guaranteed tomorrow, or the next few seconds. God is coming back some day, could be in the next few minutes or years from now. We will never know, so why waste our lives doing things that don't glorify God?

If you dare to believe in God, you might realize that there is no time to waste or time to just wait around while you waste away. We are going to lose everything here. If we believe all the lies of this world we are going to fall. There is nothing for us here. This world is starting to run on empty for me because I am coming to the point to realize that God is all I need. Nothing in this world is going to satisfy me. My friend is right, eternity can't come quick enough. We are so quick to hold on to things we care about here but Matthew (6:19-20) it tells you not store things up on earth because moth and rust will destroy it, but to lay up treasures in heaven where it won't be destroyed.

We all are blinded by the world at some point and when we realize that we are in the wrong, we need to let God help us. When you can't find your way, He will shine through that haze. We need to open our eyes and find God. I am ready to turn this page in my life to move on as God as my only strength. His will is perfect!

We only get one life. Are you going to make yours count? Are you going to glorify God or are you going to waste away? You choose, you decide if you are going to dare to believe.
