Denying God but Hating Life....
I was at a convience store yesterday and a hispanic young man dressed somewhat gang style asked me how I was doing. I nodded to him and said fine. He asked if I was going to get drunk this weekend. I said no.. I have never taken a drink of beer or liquer in my life. He then told me he gets drunk everyday.
I told him that I had no reason to drink because I had the Lord in my heart. And God gave me the strength to make it thru life with out Drinking. I then told him he needed to give God a chance to help him and he thanked me and walked out of the store. I don't know if that slim oppurtunity to encourage him helped but there was a small seed planted.
I sat in service Sunday morning and begin to think about how people hate life. The majority of folks seem to hate living. They drink to forget and do drugs to feel good. They party until their sick and suffer until the next party.
I begin to think they Hate life but deny God the oppurtunity to change life for them. They deny God but hate life. How Sad it is to see them live with no hope or no joy that springs from the internal. I am so thankful today that regardless of what state I am living whether rich or poor, whether in sickness or health that I am a part of God's great oppurtunity to bless me as his child, to comfort me when I'm down, to bless me in ways I don't expect and to take of my needs as HE is my heavenly Father.
I pray for those who are hating life because they don't have a comfort that passes all understanding. I don't want to deny God the oppurtunity to change me when I need to be changed.. or to bless me when I need to blessed or to correct me when I need to be corrected.
Don't deny God today.... let God be God and do what God does best... and that is work in the Lives of his Children to show us and others WHO HE IS!!!
Just a thought...
