We talked today, about looking at Christ always, make Jesus your only hope. Never look outside Christ, you are here to glorify Him and enjoy him for ever. If you start looking outside, you will make it easy to walk away from Him; but if you keep your eyes in eternity, you will find it easier to persevere. When you sin, go to Christ. When you have doubts, go to Christ. When you are in need, go to Christ. When you are tempted, go to Christ. Make Him your source of life, hope and pleasure. Remember: "No matter what, we will never stop trusting in God"
There is no way I can put this in a sugar coated phrase... other than: Life will be hard for a Christian. There will be lots of resisting temptations, dying to your desires, fighting, going to church while others do things that may sound a lot more fun for you at the time. You will find other things very attractive and wish many times you could have them or do... and that is the part where it will be hard. And here is when i say to you, your reward will be in heaven. Your reward will be great!, much greater than anything you desired here on earth.
A great thing to remember, is that if you go to Christ, you will know that your many sins are forgiven. Mom and dad, have lived longer than you, we know that we are not be able to please God on our own. That God's standards are very high, so it is impossible to please Him, because He is holy and we are not. That is why, our only hope is Jesus Christ,to be covered with his blood so that God, when He looks at us, He sees Jesus Christ and not our sin. (Remember the blanket, and how we need to be covered). Only Jesus can make you acceptable... go to Him!. Ask Him to help you, to give you hope, to forgive your sins, to cover you with His blood, to change you. Ask Him to give you repentance. And then you'll be really happy, because you are forgiven! you'll be happy, because He is your God, and there is nothing you will desire outside His will.
Mom.
