I am a sinner. I know there is something wrong with this world. I know that I cannot fix it without Jesus’ atonement for my sins. THERE’S NO OTHER WAY. SERIOUSLY.
It took a lot for God to allow me to see outside of my tunnel. The only way for that to happen was for me to hit rock bottom. Thankfully that rock bottom was my childhood and teen years. I had no path, I had no hope. I rarely went to church in my school-aged years. I thought I was a Christian, but I didn’t realize that I wasn’t until I was outside of the dark tunnel otherwise known as my youth. That’s all I am going to say about that.
After I moved out, I finally had the opportunity to think for myself. I realized (with the aid of a dear friend that took me to church) that the only thing that can be trusted in this world is God. He created me, cares for me, and only wants to know me, and for me to know Him. He loved me so much that he sent His only Son, Jesus to die for me on the cross, so that I could have the ability to choose life instead of death.
There is nothing else in this world that makes more sense. I do not know more than God. If I want to sin, that’s on me. I cannot expect God to condone it and overlook it because I am a sinner. If I love and follow Jesus, I will do as He did and love God and the people around me. Do I fail? Every day. Do I repent and rely on Him to help me the next time? Most of the time, yes. Sometimes, I may just beat myself up about it for a long time until I finally cannot take it anymore and take it to Jesus and repent. This is the process of sanctification. I will not be perfect until Jesus comes back or leave this world, whichever comes first.
I just know my way is not the right way. If what I want to do, does not align with God’s Word, then it is not right. I have to live for the one that loved me so much when I was His enemy, that He died for me. I am being repetitive here, but there is nothing more important in this world than to have a relationship with Jesus and to make Him known to the world. He is the only answer.
I am a NC resident, and I cannot end a post without including a link to help those affected by Helene either through giving directly through my Samaritan’s Purse fundraising page or by purchasing a shirt from the Mountain Waffles collection from my Etsy shop in which all proceeds go to those affected by Helene. Help me raise $1,000 by the end of September 2025.
Thank you and good night. ❤
