Then Jesus said...
                                whoever desires to save his own life will lose it, and whosoever loses his life for My sake, will find it."  
                                                                St. Matthew 16:25

LOST ...SEA OF DESPAIR

FOUND...SAVIOUR WAITING THERE

MUST CHOOSE...TO LIVE... if I dare

~+~

*Father God's perfect will is that none should perish [2Peter3:9]. 

 But when He gave us LIfe, He also gave us CHOICE and a free-will, with which, to exercise it! 

~+~

To LIVE, is to CHOOSE LIFE! 

It's that simple...

However, to achieve TRUE AND EVERLASTING LIFE, one must die first,  to their own selfish human desires, 

Which means, fully surrendering their own free-will, to the will of their Creator!

HE is God!  He is Holy! He created you!  He wants every good and perfect thing for you!

Good AND Evil cannot co-exist.

You will serve one, and despise the other,

if you attempt to co-habitate, with these two forces...

[and even so, you still have to CHOOSE!]

You will become Double-Minded [James1:8]

You will become Double-Tongued, like the Serpent!  Lying, twisting, deceiving.

Hypocritical, and Unstable...in all your  ways.

This is exactly how Satan "Divides and Conquers"! 

This is exactly how his "Belial" personality destroys relationships!

~+~

To become CHRIST-like, we must die to our own ways...then regenerate, in His!

Everyone thinks, 'oh no, I will have to give up all my fun!'

Just as in the Garden, it's another lie -from the one who is destined to spend his eternity in the Bottomless Pit!

Would you give up your"fun",

which is usually short-lived, then leaves you miserable and empty, when it's over...

Would you give it up, say,  for love that never changes?  For a sound mind?  For peace that passes all understanding?

~+~

When LORD Jesus asks you to choose, it isn't that He doesn't already know the cost of choice...

Au contraire!

He hung

on that

Cross...

because

He chose

EVERLASTING

LIFE,

FOR YOU!

~+~

Now, what say you........Yea?  or Nay?

Then know this, you are assigning yourself to the "life"
- or death -
that comes inside... your very own choice.

Please choose wisely...I am always praying for your choices to be wise ones.                ~ love, Rhonda
