Ok so first of all, I'm 100% tired of giving into my selfishness and giving into the temptations put in my life. I am doing everything within my power to fix this but that main thing I need to do is just open my heart to God, give him my life. I live my life the best I can for MY GOD but I am only human. As I sit here tonight trying to think of things to do my first lesson/sermon for my youth group I can only think of all those worldly/sinful things I have allowed myself to do.
Right now I am listening to a song call "How he Loves Us", the Kim Walker version, if you haven't seen it you need to youtube it and just listen to the words . But its talking about how God loves us so so much. I mean think about it, he died a terrible death, he suffered, and what did he suffer for? He was beaten, and form my understanding you could see his organs through his ribs he was so badly beaten. Not only did he get beat, but carried a wooden cross that later he would be nailed to by his hands and his feet across a town and up a mountain. Then once he got to that top of that hill, he laid there on that cross and willingly let these men hammer nails through his hands and feet. then they hing him up mocking him, as he hung there suffering. Eventually he suffocated fro his own blood. That is so gruesome but that is the truth. Jesus, the human version of MY GOD did all this and for what? He did all this because he wanted to be an example of how to live a perfect life, how to have faith and work miracles. He healed so many people, loved everyone so much and he died for us, for all of our sins. "He became sin, who knew no sin", that is from Chris Tomlin's song Jesus Messiah.
Jesus became our sin so all we had to do is believe in him, believe in his father, except him into our heart and we are saved from an eternity of HELL. he lived on earth for us to follow his guidance and do the work of God as we are created to do. Anyway, Jesus went though all of that so we can act like he isn't real, so we can be selfish and disobey his every command. Why are we so selfish? Why is there so much hate, violence, sex, drugs, anything that is not of God? Why are people so selfish?
Anyway, so think about it. "How he loves us" The lyrics say this
Oh, how he loves us so, oh how he loves, how he loves us so.
think about that, this song is my favorite song and its not about anything but God love for you, Gods love for me. He Loves You, He died for you, he even went to hell for 3 days for you and me. Think about that for a little bit. Jesus went to the worst place ever, for YOU and for ME, and yet we don't believe in him or we just don't care about it. The name Jesus has lost its meaning. JESUS LOVES YOU as do I. Thanks for reading, I hope this has touched your heart and will also make you want to change your life. JESUS LOVES YOU!
