What Have We Done?

We chose to love the prisons we built for ourselves, and mock the ones who told us there was something better.

We chose to squander our future and our children and future generations’ future, in trade for a little bit more pleasure, importance, recognition, popularity, escape, rest, wickedness, or pride.

We laughed at what was truly wise, and thought we were smart for going down the broad way that leads to destruction alongside “everyone else”.

We didn’t just have our blessings stolen by the enemy, we gladly handed them over to the enemy in trade for more poison — time after time again.

We didn’t love each other or help each other, we just mocked, judged, pitied, or avoided people when they didn’t have something we could use or benefit from.

When someone hurt us, we continued the cycle by hurting them a little deeper than they hurt us — so they would maybe target someone else instead.

Every single one of us.

We have all been foolish. We have all made mistakes.

There is a better Way.

“Sin” isn’t just some list of arbitrary do’s and dont’s used to measure ourselves and compare ourselves to others. It is a sickness, a disease that is clearly a part of all our lives that whispers lies, distractions, temptations, and feelings into our minds that are not healthy or beneficial to us and those around us. It is something that we all deal with, and no one will live life without eventually realizing that there are these attractive looking traps in life that come with costly consequences.

My God does not hate you and want to destroy you because you don’t follow His list of arbitrary rules. Those are in fact some of the biggest lies put out there to blind you to who He really is.

My God loves His children. Like a loving Father, He does not want His children to suffer, but He wants them to prosper — not just in this moment, not just as an individual, but as a healthy, fruit bearing family branch that extends generation after generation, decade after decade, century after century.

He knows that you aren’t going to get it right every time. He knows that you are going to make mistakes. He knows that at times things are going to be hard. He even knows that at times you might hate Him and might decide to live as if He doesn’t even exist.

But He loves you.

Even if people that say they know Him say He hates you because you do X, Y or Z — they are just confused by their own sin and projecting their hatred for themselves onto you because they don’t know His love themselves.

And if you’re thinking “don’t I have to give up X, Y, Z for Him to love me” or “why would I want to be like those people that say they know God but are hateful, judgemental, etc.” — hear me when I say that type of “religion” is not The Way.

He loves His children, so talk to Him yourself.

If you’re not sure that you even remember how to get in touch with Him on your own — We can talk to Him together.

I love you and hope you have a wonderful day.

He’s not mad at you, and He’s looking forward to talking with you soon.

If you don’t think you can, ask me about the price He paid, ask me about how He put Himself on display as a testimony of His love for YOU. There’s a hill called Calvary that tells the story of His love. Amen.

You may not even know yet or believe yet that there are things in your life that are killing you, stealing from you, and hurting those around you. Talk with Him and ask Him to give you wisdom and to open your eyes to see things truly as they are. Blessings my friend. Amen.
