Wasting my time? I don't think so.

Being on Fire for Christ in a world that tells you you're wasting your time.


            "I'm in this constant pursuit of the one who is risen, while the world is always trying to get me bound up in their prison. When they should be seeking the man who died on the cross, their busy seeking a man who they think will fill the loss that is building up inside  But that's the problem with our world. Love isn't found in the boy that you date, your emptiness isn't filled in those drugs you take. Success isn't gained in the money you make. Good looks aren't achieved by that makeup on your face.But you see all of these things, Love, Fullness, Success, and outward appearance are found in the only person who can offer forgiveness of the sins we commit constantly and daily. We deny Him with our life's but for some reason He still wants to save me. I know it sounds crazy but it is so true. That man who died on the cross years ago did it for me and for you. He wiped away our shame, and took away our sin, He forgave us and loves us even though we can't offer anything to Him. That man who is God's only son bled on that cross so that we can have life in paradise, worshiping a holy and righteous God who sent us His son so we can have life. I don't know about you but this sounds amazing to me, I'm forgiven, I'm washed, my chains are broken and I have been set free. Because of this man, I'm constantly fighting temptation and sin and living my life to honor and follow him. There will be times I fall short but He will be there to pick me up, because God never leaves or forsakes us. I feel so alive, I feel so new, the emptiness I once felt no longer controls what I do. Christ has filled me beyond words can describe, the love that I seek is no longer in guys, the emptiness I need filled can't be found in getting high, the money I have doesn't measure my success, and the makeup I wear can't make me anymore of what I already am. I've found this new life in the savior of my soul, For once in my life I really feel whole. I offer myself as a living sacrifice serving Jesus and living so that others can see Christ. I want people to know how loved they are that Jesus Christ can heal your broken heart. He is the one that is my love, He is the one that is my drug, He is the one that gives me success  and He is the one that brings me beauty and loveliness. I'm so in love, sometimes I don't know what to do. Jesus has captured my heart. Because of Him I am brand new."

This is my only way of explaining  how you're not wasting your time. By seeking Christ you are constantly being filled with wisdom, love, prosperity, and truth. The only way were wasting our time, is if were running form the Gospel, if were running from his love. You're not wasting your time, by being on Fire for Christ you're making the most of it. By being on Fire for Christ you are receiving the most amazing gift that you will ever get! The world will always have an excuse, the world will always try to pull you away and make you question, but by putting your hope in Jesus Christ you will gain life. By putting your hope in the Lord your time becomes precious. Above I explained my most deepest feelings toward Jesus, the way I think about him and how I see him from my perspective. I just wrote it in school today without even thinking and when I went back and read it, I was like "Wow God is so awesome! Look at all he has done for me, look at the gift of love and life he has offered." I knew I had to share this. To me that passage I wrote shows that the time I invest in prayer, and worshiping God is not a waste but a reward.

Trust in God's unfailing love! And rejoice because Jesus has saved you from Death! This is definitely worth my time!
