Hello all, it has been quite a while since I've updated my blog, I've just been busy and haven't really had any ideas for a blog entry, but lately God has been speaking to me about this certain blog entry, for quite a while now, I just needed to find a bible verse to go with the title of this blog, so last night I finally did. It is from the book of proverbs 6:1-5. This is what these verses are saying, "My son, if thou be surety for thy friend, if thou hast stricken thy hand with a stranger, thou art snared with thy words of thy mouth, thou art taken with the words of thy mouth. Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, when thou art come into the hand of thy friend; go, humble thyself, and make sure thy friend. Give not sleep to thin eyes, nor slumber to thine eyelids. Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler."
In other words, these verses are not a plea against generosity, but is against overextending one's financial resources and acting very irresponsibly, in ways that could easily lead to poverty. It is important to maintain a balance between generosity and good stewardship. God wants us to help our friends and the needy, but he does not promise to cover the costs of every single unwise commitments we all make. It is equally important to act responsibly so that our families do not have to suffer for it.
The main reason why I chose this bible verse was because of God of course, but also because I know a few people who haven't exactly made wise decisions on how to live their lives the way that God wants them too. There's this one person in particular who, I love and care about very much, who chooses to keep going back to her bad past decisions. Every time I see or hear what she's going through, it's absolutely killing me, and I wish that there was more I could say or do to help her make better choices. I've brought her to church and I post bible verses online every night for her to read, with hopes that she'll start changing her way of life, because the Lord and I both know that she deserves so much better than all this. She is truly a genuine,fun, loving person to be around, she's also beautiful, and she needs to see and know that about herself. Anyway, there's also another person who I know that hasn't exactly made wise choices about his way of life either. To see what he's going through, it breaks my heart, because I know that he deserves so much more than this way of life. He is such a good person, great personality, easy to talk to, loving, and affectionate. He deserves to be with a girl who has those same qualities as he does, but the truth is, a girl like that is very rare to find these days, because there are too many girls out there living their lives, hopelessly, and it really sucks and is so very sad. Because of these certain people, this world is very difficult to live in. They as well as the people that I mentioned above, really need to know how to slow down and to stop and think about what they're doing with themselves. They are basically destroying their lives, and that is not a good thing at all whatsoever, so they need to change immediately as well.
The sooner that these people change, the better off they'll all be with their lives. It is so sad to see these people walking around in complete darkness, not knowing what God has to offer them. God has so much to offer all of us, there are just a certain few people who are stubborn as all heck and they won't let God into their lives. Why do you think that I'm so persistent in posting all of these facebook statuses with bible verses every single night, before I go to bed? The reason is because I am trying so hard to reach out to others about what God has to offer them, so that I can pull them in closer to the Lord, the sooner they come to the Lord, the better all of their lives will be. Know what I mean? I sure hope so. I know that I'm a Christian, and that I shouldn't get so mad so easily but I think that I have every right to be when I see what someone I love and care about so much is going through. It is literally a living hell, and none of them deserve to go through this living hell, I speak of. I know what it's like because as I've said a million times before, I have been there and it sucks, I wish that I had come to God sooner rather than later. When I think about it, my life could have been so much better back then, if I had just come to Him sooner, but thank God that I'm came to God, when I did, because my life is so much better now than it ever was before all of that crap that I went through back then! I deserved so much better, and so do you all! You just need to admit to God that you need help, and he will make your life so much better than it is right now. This is Christmas, Jesus is the reason for this season, wonderful things happen when all women and men trust God. Just surrender all of your problems to God, and trust him, he will take care of you fully. Open up your hearts, minds, bodies, and souls to Him, Nothing is impossible with God on your side.
Well, what are you waiting for? Just do it, let God come into your life, and see the many blessings and miracles that he has to show you. Stop being so stubborn, and just do it. Can I get an Amen?!? Thank you, Lord, for blessing me with way more than I deserve, and please forgive me if I don't love it enough, am I right? I think so. May God Bless you all and Have a good night, Amen! Praise the Lord!
