Checking into His Presence... Seeking to find identity in Christ? "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world – the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions is not from the Father but it is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever" (1 John 2:15-17) How shall we be judged when our life is all over in relation to the way we have led our lives? What passion are we nurturing? Such that is filled with division, malice, tale bearing, blasphemy, pride, selfishness and extreme hatred? Have you been using your position to exploit the vulnerable so that your light can shine even brighter? Do you honestly think that the next world will reflect your behaviour; where the wicked are rewarded and the innocence condemned? Can you can justify your actions and or defend your conducts when you are faced with all the mysteries you championed whilst in this world? For those you are likely to leave behind, what will be their song about you? Is there actually life for you after death? What sort of memories are you creating surrounding your faith? Who will be waiting for you on the other side? A callous judge, ruthless jury, a merciless executioner or a reception that guarantees a warm welcome into the Hands of the Almighty God? There is always a road that leads nowhere. It may be attractive, exciting and popular. Please note: it bears the hallmark of confusion, mysteries and regrets. On the other hand, there is Christ Way which leads to salvation. It can be trouble shooting and those who wants to ply the route must come with patience, perseverance, trust, hope, faith, charity, forgiveness and above all love. Within Your grace oh Lord we beseech You to give us the privilege to be able to hide our identity in the power of Your name. Amen Just Checking into His Presence...
