Think about it. Would you really want to give up a life of luxury to spend time with unpleasant people? People who mocked you, scorned you, and who you knew would kill you? Not really, no.
But Jesus did.
John 3:16
"For God so loved the word that he gave his only son, Jesus Christ, that whosoever believes in him will not perish, but shall have eternal life."
WHOSOEVER...Yes, that includes you. And me. So many of my friends think that God wouldn't love them if he knew what they'd really done... But he does know, and he still loves you as much as the day he created you.
Lately I've been struggling somewhat, fighting against God in my life. Trust me, it's not a good idea. It's like swimming against a current that is a million times stronger than you. You can't win by fighting it. The only way you can win is if you let go, and let God take you home to dry land. I'll be the first to admit, that through small things, I haven't been giving my all to God. Small things can make big problems when they add up, can't they? But once again, God has taken me by the hand and led me back to the right path. :)
"The time has come to stand for all we believe in. So I for one am going to give my praise to you, Jesus!"
