QUOTES ON TOP

“I want something really worthwhile to live for. I want to invest this one life of mine as wisely as possible, in the place that yields the richest profits to the world and me…wherever it is, I want it to be God’s choice for me and not my own… Christ said, “He that would find his life shall lose it” and proved the truth of this divine paradox at Calvary. I want Him to lead me and His Holy Spirit to fill me.” – Betty Stam

WHOM ARE YOU GOING TO CHOOSE?


In our lives, there are many situations at which we come to a point where we are blankly left with options and are finally forced to choose one of the two or more options in front of us. Eventually when we go for the right choice our life takes a turn in the direction where we have joy and if we choose the wrong one we might end up struggling.

            Making the right choice brings a lot of blessings in our lives.  If we consider the life of a mortal man, who is a marvellous work of God, almost all the time he has two choices before him. One is taking the side of Jesus Christ and living a life of purity to give glory due unto God and the other apparently is joining hands with the devil and living a life full of lustful sins. The choice which you are going to make today is going to shape your life tomorrow.

            There was a true man of God and when one day his son received salvation, God showed two ways before him. One was a straight path just like the path of a fish and the other was a crooked path like the one the crab takes. JESUS showed him both the ways and asked which way he will choose - the straight one like the fish or the crooked one like the crab. The son, with the help of the Holy Spirit committed to lead his life on a path like that of a fish and because made that specific choice, God blessed him abundantly. Even today God is using him mightily for His glory by making him responsible over a huge Christian organization.

            Your life also will be abundantly blessed when you decide to lead your life keeping Jesus in front of you.
            Many times we long to live a life with Jesus but at the same time, can’t give up our lustful desires.  A life of two-timing will definitely never bring blessings to our lives.

                Everybody might know and acknowledge you as a Christian. As far as the outside world is concerned, you might have a testimony that you lead a holy life but deep inside you might be living a very sinful life. In short, you might be living a double life. The guilt because of your double life might be driving you crazy. You might have a longing to live a life along with God but however you might not be able to give up your lustful desires.

            My dear young friend, when you decide to live with Jesus, He is more than ready to give you the grace for it. Your work is quite simple.  You just have to choose one option and it should be the right one. You have to understand that a life mixed with holiness and sin is very dangerous. This is the time where you have to choose Jesus Christ completely and leave all the sins. Jesus Christ is ready to accept you as His child. Give your life to Jesus and be blessed.
