When God is involved

Now that I am older I can look back on my life and I really start to realize what a difficult person I was. If not for God, I have no idea where I would be. God became my life when I reached the lowest point in my life and had absolutely nowhere else to turn.

It is always amazing when in a person’s life God shows up and gets involved. Things begin to change and life becomes more enjoyable. You start to see things in a totally different light and those you had problems with suddenly begin to become a part of your life. You change and though you don’t understand how or why you start to like the way things are beginning to go. You begin to wonder why you never did this before but the real answer is that you never got this low before. You never got to that point in your life that you had no place to turn, but now God is giving you a way to change and make your life better.

When God is involved things will never be the same again. God is the source of everything in our life but sometimes it takes us a long time to understand that. We don’t realize how important God is to us until almost the last moment. I know this and can tell you that He showed up exactly at the right time. Isaiah 55:8 says, for my ways are not your ways nor are my thoughts your thoughts declares the Lord. He does not operate on our schedule nor does he think the same way we do. His schedule is one of health, happiness and eternal life where we have no idea what we are doing and there is absolutely we can do for ourselves. Matthew 19:26 states, for man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible, apart from that we are totally lost with no way out and on a path heading straight into destruction.

If God is involved in your life you need to constantly give Him the praise and the glory. If He isn’t involved you really need to examine your life and take a long close look at it. Though you may think your life is going along just fine, you will be totally surprised to find out that it is not as great as you thought. We can’t have a real life without Jesus, because inside all of us is that nagging thought of will I go to heaven. You can’t enter into heaven without a relationship with Jesus. You can do all of the good in the world but that will not get you into heaven. You can be the best person there ever was, but without accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior you are just as lost as that person who goes out and commits murder. In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”. You must have a relationship with Jesus or nothing.

The awesome thing about this is it is not too late. If you don’t know Jesus and you are reading this then right now is your opportunity to surrender to Him. No one knows when Jesus is going to return and this very moment may be all we have. The bible says that when the trumpet sounds it is all over (paraphrase). There will never be another chance to receive Jesus. Choose right now to serve Jesus and your life will never be the same. Allow God to get involved and it will be the best thing that ever happened to you.

God Bless You
