At the Crossroads of Life and Death

Sometimes, when we grow up in a certain setting we feel we do not really have to choose where we end up.

But the line between eternal life and eternal death is actually really thin.

Do not let the Devil have a foothold.

Yet "Trust in the Lord", a phrase so easy to say, so hard to keep.

A phrase that means everything when you stand on the line between two of the oldest enemies in "Time".

And if you ever do, which I hope you never have to, I pray you pray God gives you strength. I pray that you remember, Jesus died for you. Its such a basic, simple statement that we all know, and many were brought up on it, its so simple, but think about that statement. Everything, the purest, most beautiful, righteous, glorious, He became, defiled, slain, cursed, for you.

For you, a broken being. For you, forever struggling. For you, always in pain. For you, always seeking for more. For you, a greedy, selfish creature. For you, self-centered, and self-serving. For you, a human. Why are you throwing it all away? Why are you throwing love away? Why are you throwing life away? Why are you throwing hope away?

You are loved. I promise you. There is hope. There is a reason to keep going on. There is a reason why. Even if you may not see it now, trust. And let Him be in control. He knows where you're going, now and always. And I pray, we make it to the end.



He died for you.
