all we are is dust in the wind...
it's funny how everything keeps going and going. it's good to know that i am not alone. i sometimes get reminiscent of the past, but i must realize that the past has passed, and i have no need to worry or dwell upon it, for tomorrow is a new day. sometimes feeling completely alone down here is comfortable. i know what i am blessed with (and i take so much for granted), but i also know what i need. i have all i could ever need. thank You. but i am truly comforted with the fact that i have some place to go. i know someone loves me. i talk to Jesus every day. i struggle, but He is quick to help me, forgive me for being so weak. temptation is mainly made up of my own making. satan is a relentless destroyer, that old serpent, but me, i am a masochist. i do not wound myself as today's standards would label a masochist, but i let myself go. i kill myself with my sin. i disregard what means everything to me, and i indulge in myself. Lord, Jesus Christ, You are God, the only God, and You are a perfect God. as thomas said in john 20:28 - "and thomas answered and said unto Him, my Lord and my God." Jesus was sinless, and if He was not God and didn't rebuke thomas, He would be sinning by naming Himself God falsely. Jesus did not rebuke thomas though, for Jesus was and is God. it is as simple as that. God, in order to be tempted and resist as much as a man, had to come as a man, with man's infirmities and lack of abilities. Jesus was and is that Man. Jesus remained sinless so that He could do one thing, which was come and die upon the cross, finishing the deal, and winning victory in every battle. He rose again to prove these things unto man more so. still, disbelief. my own heart is so corrupt, but Jesus is fixing me. "w.w.j.d." a common phrase among Christians. "what would Jesus do?" the idea is good, but that leads to imitating Jesus. this will not work because we simply cannot be like Jesus. we are not good enough to make ourselves or try hard enough to become like Jesus. so maybe "w.w.j.d." should mean "what will Jesus do?" what will Jesus do in our hearts and lives to make us more like Him? i cannot strive to be like Him or improve at all without His help, so what will Jesus do? He will do quite a bit. He has created the universe and all things in it. He has stayed true and keeps everything in motion and on track throughout the universe. He came as a man, died on the cross, and rose again. He will so much more in our lives and on this earth. He will take us, He will open the seals, He will come back down, and He will do all things that His Word promises. oh how might He is. i love Him so much. i pray that i keep my eyes focused on Him and His will. i can either be in His will or rebel against it. either way, He will get done what He wants to get done. my mortal hands cannot stop that, thank God.
