"What I think, is my business"
Hang on - are you really your own?
"What
you think is your business; but it is also mine. I know your every
thought and desire, but I do not impose my will on you.
"I love you and reach out for you; but you are like children that leave
home and do not want to return. You follow your own desires, your own
paths.
"But how many do you hurt on the way? Do you care? I love you, so do not
hurt one another; do not turn from my truth, my path. Do you make an idol
out of money, or sex, or drugs? What drives you so? These things are
self-destructive; in the long run, they destroy you and others around you.
"My love passes the understanding of so many
that find me; and they delight in finding
my love and exploring it. Love is the better way - but I do not impose my will
on yours. You are free to make your own decisions, for good or for ill.
But remember that when the time comes to die, you cannot
come into My kingdom without forgiveness of your sins. And there is no forgiveness
unless you accept that the price was paid by my death on the cross.
"Turn and believe in Me.
"I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life Everlasting."
What to pray
Jesus, teach me to think your way. Help me to get off the
treadmill that I am on. You know the things that I do; the way I behave
towards others; the thoughts in my heart; my sin. I am afraid to lose
control of the way I am, so please lead me gently, lest my fear drives me
away from you.
Give me the sureness that you are there for me, please make yourself real.
Part of me wants to believe, part of me fights against you.
Jesus, please help me.
Amen. |
