The most important choice you can make today is Jesus. Jesus is the only answer for the corruption we face each day in this world. Jesus is the only one who can save our world. Trump, nor Clinton, will have any bearing on what the future holds for you or your beautiful children. If at this moment, you do not know Jesus, bow your head and ask God to forgive you for all your sins…then ask Jesus into your heart. He is the only way through this world.
How do I know he is the answer? I have broken most of the Ten Commandments during my lifetime. God has hit me with struggle after struggle through the years. No, I never received His message time and time again. I had always believed God existed, and I knew that I should follow the commandments, but I chose not to year after year. Then, a few years back I made a decision to live my life the way Jesus would have me to live. I started reading God’s word day in and day out. I purchased resource books that helped me become a better me. I prayed more and more with each passing day.
Today, I know the wondrous feeling of receiving God’s favor, and I see His Glory again and again. Walking with the Lord hasn’t removed all the struggles of my world, but it has made it possible for me to overcome them. The struggles of this world have been many, but each one I have overcome has made me stronger and more willing to share the message of our Savior.
I know Jesus as my personal savior, and I hear the small still voice of the Lord. He reminds me daily not to judge others. He helps me arise every day and love the unlovable. He reaches down and asks me to share my story of grace that God bestowed on me with others. He speaks to me through His scripture, music, nature, and by any means he deems necessary so I know that he is there.
Before you make a decision to go on social media and condemn any of the candidates running in the election, let me remind you of a few sinful people in the bible that God touched. God turned around one of the most corrupt men in the bible, Saul. Jesus was a friend of a sinful woman of the bible, the Lady at the Well. God made David, King, a man who lusted after many women. And, God chose to sacrifice his own son so that you and I could know salvation. I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture. Jesus loved sinners and God took the life of His child.
Each and every one of you should go out and vote today. Before you head to the polls make the best possible decision you can for yourself and your family….say I Am with Jesus. Then, pray about your choice and ask yourself what would Jesus do? If you are having a hard time saying “yes” to Jesus, I encourage you to listen to this song by Third Day, Carry My Cross.
Each one of you can change the world every day through your love.
