a pretty good day...so why don't I feel like it?

^^ Registered for dance.
^^ Chic-fil-a. Danny abandoned his post at the drive-thru window to take my order. xP Nerd.
^^ Youth group. NICOLE'S HOME!
^^ Starbucks with...lots of people. <33
Sometimes I wish that I had been a bit older than three years old when I became a Christian, because then maybe I could remember what life was like without the Holy Spirit. It's so hard for me to understand when people can't believe the Bible because I do and I always have and I don't know how you could not. So then it's hard for me to talk to people because I don't really understand why they refuse to believe that God is real and really loves us and really wants us to spend eternity with Him. I just know that He does. It's the Bible, it's His Word, it's Law. And it rocks! I'm EXCITED to know that I always have someone with me when life is junky (kinda like now) and I don't have to waste my cell minutes on Him, I can talk to Him in my head.
I wish that the entire world could believe that Jesus wants to be with them and go to Heaven, and there shouldn't be a reason why they can't. But there is, and it's name is Satan, and it's up to the people who DO have God in their hearts to show all other people the love of God so that they might trust in Him. Unfortunately, lots and lots of "Christians" are big fat hypocrites. And I say this from experience. Some of the people that I know personally, that I go to church with, I get frustrated with them because they don't show love to others, and that's the whole point of Christianity. That "God so LOVED THE WORLD that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish (AKA: go to Hell) but have everlasting life (AKA: go to Heaven)." (John 3:16, the most known Bible verse in the world)
And y'know, I'm not the model Christian either, although lots of people seem to think that. I don't read my Bible everyday. I don't even pray everyday, though I know that I should. I'm not anywhere near perfect, another thing people seem to think. But I try to be agreeable and respectful. I try to show the love of God everywhere I go. I'm not perfect, so I can't do it alone. Jesus WAS AND IS perfect, that's why I need Him to help me. If you're not good at something, you go to somebody who IS good at it for help, right? That's who Jesus is. The person who can help me. The person who ALWAYS knows where and when I struggle and just how to be of assistance. The person who doesn't say, "I'm busy right now." or "I'll help you next week." or "I don't want to, do it yourself." Instead He says, "Ask and it shall be given to you. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door shall be opened to you." (Matthew 7:7)
My understanding is simple. Life is rough. You can't do it alone. God can, and WANTS, to help you. What possible reason can you have to pass that up?
