So all this talk about the end of the world makes me think about my place in God's kingdom. If i were to die today would i be proud to face Jesus and show him all that i have done for him or would i have regrets because i should have done so much more? Every day is a battle, every second we have a choice to live for God or to put other things over him. I encourage you guys to fight for your faith and fight against sin, hurt and unworthiness to strive for the kingdom. The kingdom of God is not just in heaven but it is here on earth and it is our job to preserve it and live into it with all of our hearts.
"Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10)
These are words from the lords prayer that many of us recite everyday, for me the words lose meaning and become monotone but they are SO important and deserve my full attention and commitment.
This post is so relevant to my life right now. Lately i've been thinking a bunch about how we aren't promised tomorrow and our hesitation may cost more than we know. in history we just watched this movie called Schindler's List. don't know if you've seen it, but it's about this German businessman named Oscar Schindler during the Holocaust. by allowing Jews to be his factory workers, he ended up saving their lives from the Nazis in the labor camps. at the end there was this awesome quote that i wrote down because i loved it so much: "Whoever saves one life saves the world in time."
ReplyDeleteit just made me think, by telling one person about the Lord, an innumerable amount of people could hear the Gospel because of it. that one person could tell another, and then another, and another, so on and so forth. anyways, your post is just really pertinent to my life right now in that way, so thanks for posting and keep it up!
