Walking in the light

Walking In The Light

 

 

The word of God is like a light on my feet.  It will steer you down all the right paths, if you follow its commandments.  You see, every problem that you will ever face on your time on earth, God has foreseen it.  Most of witch could be found in the bible. God’s word will tell you how to avoid or go through them.  There will even have times where you will have a problem and find that exact problem in the bible.  Is sometimes may not be the exact problem you have but it will help you in your own way.  And the strange thing is if you do find it in the bible, and it helps you.  You may never be able to find it again.  Its still there, its just you don’t need it anymore.  The main thing about the bible that non Christians do not like is, not only is it a light on there feet, but its also constantly dropping bricks on their toes.  You see as a non Christians reads the bible, they start to see that the things they do are not right with God and it convicts them.  They stop reading because of that.  There are may roads that we walk on throughout life.  The easiest is probably the road of sin. If you are on the road to Christ, the devil has every temptation that you can think of along the way.  Also he is constantly trying to put stuff in your path to make you veer off course.  The trick is to never take your eyes off of Jesus.  It’s like when Peter jumped out of the boat and started walking on water.  During the time he had his eyes on Jesus, he did the impossible.  He walked on water, but as soon as he looked away he started to sink.  On the road to Christ, as long as you keep your eyes on him, he will be in front of you clearing your path.  When on the road of sin the devil doesn’t have to work as hard cause sins are already there.  All he has to do is keep the temptations there and the road will stay open.  The Christian road is so cluttered with objects that the devil threw in front of Christians that without help, no one would be able to get down the road at all.  But us Christians have something for that.  We have Jesus.  He is like a football player kicking field goals kicking things out of our way.  While the whole time we continue on our goal. So in closing, will you try to walk down this road in the dark or will you go down it with the light of Jesus illuminating your path.  Only you can decide that.

Love

LOVE

 

            Love is one of the most confusing, yet the most sought after emotion.  Out of all emotions, Love is also the most powerful.  Love can make you do things that you would have never thought to do otherwise.  Even though it is the most sought after emotion, really true, great love seems very hard to find.  Most people that are looking for it usually are looking in the wrong place.  The worst thing about love is that a lot of people can’t tell the difference between Like and Love.  They meet someone that they like and get “blinded by the like”.  See most people don’t look past the like to see what’s beyond it.  Especially someone who has not seen love, nor like in a long time.  They get so excited that they don’t realize that it’s not true love.  How exactly do you define true love?  I think that this is the only word that I know of that really can’t be defined cause love is so different of an emotion to each whom has found it.  I think the biggest question of all is how do you recognize True Love? Once again this is another one that can be answered multiple ways.  To me love is when you just can’t get that person out of your mind, no matter how hard you try.  Every time you think of that person, you just seem a little bit happier.  When they smile, you smile.  When they are sad, so are you.  And when they get close to you your heart starts racing.  And you are willing to do anything for that person.  Yes it’s true that you can be in love with someone and they don’t love you.  They may not even like you.  That is probably one love that most people just don’t want to find.  The bad thing about this love is you spend all of your time and energy loving this person but never get anything back.  It’s about like buying a hamburger with only the bun.  You just as well have ordered bread.  But we can’t control love.  One of the weirdest things about love is that true love is always found in the strangest places.  And most of the time when you least expect it.  There is one thing about love that people forget about.  There will always be someone who loves you, GOD.  He loved you so much that he created you, watched over you, and kept you safe.  He even loved you so much that he sent his one and only son JESUS to earth to die on the cross for your sins.  That is something that not many of us could do.  So next time you go out looking for love, remember.  Look in strange places and don’t be blinded by the like.
