I am 22 years old.
I believe anything is possible.
I believe in the saving power of God’s grace, forgiveness, and redemption, in the midst of a fallen and sinful world, and I fully believe that He places a divine calling on ALL of our lives.
As we all know, life can be full of both exceptional wonder and exceptional chaos.
The dark forces in this world want to keep you and me down.
No.
By God’s grace and with every ounce of your will, refuse to live a life that sadly most men will live.
A life scarred by the corruption of the flesh. Leading to an existence imprisoned by self doubt, insecurity, shame, regret, and in-action.
A life where Satan reigns as your victor, blowing the winds on your fleshly sail.
An old quote goes, most men live lives of quiet desperation.
Unfortunately, this quote is true. Most men subscribe to this notion in droves, trading in their hope, honor, and dignity, for the sweet comfort of desperation that is only medicated by the things of this world.
No.
Instead, look up!
Look into the heavens.
For we are mere foreigners on this planet always remaining …joyful in hope, patient in affliction, (and) faithful in prayer (Romans 12:12 NIV).
As we look towards the next world, a Heavenly world, let us think about a life free from the bondages of sin. A life with hope for the future. A life with love, peace, and joy.
Think about all of it.
This life can be lived now and can be lived forever by surrendering everything at the foot of the cross.
Have the courage to move in steps of Faith and grace emboldened by the Holy Spirit, protecting all that is good and right, and striving to expand the Kingdom to those who are LOST.
Moving forward from the past, cleansed by the blood of Christ that covers you and I in robes of grace.
What a blessing to be alive and have breath in our lungs!
