Do you exist? Amazingly preposterous question that has been pondered by those unsure of anything. God willed us into being and it is God’s will that we exist. If He didn’t will us into existence, we wouldn’t be here to wonder about it.
God loves what He willed. He loves us. He loves us enough to give us this earth, this playground, to figure things out. He loves us enough to send His Son down into our castles made of sand here and show us the Way, the Truth, and the Life. By ourselves we could never figure it out because our way, our truth and our lives do NOT show us a cohesive path toward God.
If God willed us into being, why is it possible to engage in carnality and sin here in this “playground”? God didn’t will us into being so that He could pull our strings and make us love Him. He gave us free will. He willed us into being but did not force us to will as He willed. But we are made in the image and likeness of God so our very nature, the very essence of our being is like God. Because our will is free, we can choose what we are going to will. When we will outside of God’s will, however, we misconstrue our being. We try to fit ourselves into a mold that we have carefully made, a mold of pain and suffering because it doesn’t agree with what God willed us to be, children of Himself. He doesn’t force us to will as He wills but, in creating us we became His children, and, as I said, made in His image and likeness. If we are willing ourselves to be different than that, we are engaging in fantasy and usurping God’s will and what He made, us. That’s what hurts. That’s what causes all our pain. It is self-inflicted. We are doing this to ourselves. We must stop it!
We need to allow Jesus to be the pilot and we, the co-pilots. We need to humble ourselves before the Captain. He came to give us life, a life more abundant than we can imagine, a life filled with love, given, shared, a life that far surpasses what we have made here in this playground.
Give your life to God, give it to Jesus and allow His Holy Spirit to enfold you and guide you to your true destiny in Him. No more sad endings, no more carnal commercials touting cures that do not cure, and fun that doesn’t last, and tears that never end. Give your life to God…NOW! Don’t waste another minute.
Oh, the Deep Deep Love of Jesus
