true love

YAY!! if you think i'm happy... i wonder what heaven's like right now!!! probably a huge party up there for our new sister!!! yay!!

the point that chris white made about the presence of a God.. if you believe there's something out there.. some superior being or force that created this earth and the complexities of human beings, then you had better do some searching.. find out who or what this God or whatever is... you can't keep on sitting around waiting because the truth of the matter is, you never know when your life, or this world, will end. personally, i think it'd be really sad to be living for nothing.. there has to be a purpose why i'm on this earth, and the first thing i would want to know, before stressing about my papers and studying, is who or what i'm living for... i don't konw.. at least that's how i feel.

it makes me sad knowing that some of my friends and family don't yet know the truth i hold... and i want so desperately for them to know and believe the living truth, but yet often i find myself too worried about the small things... like how my friend will react, or what they'll think of me..., and so end up either sharing a diluted version of my walk with JC, or not sharing anything at all...

actually, i find it interesting that it's often the christians who are afraid of speaking the direct simple message of JC... instead, we work around speaking the truth with tangential arguments and comments, waiting for that one right moment when you will confront your friend with the truth... (i don't think that made any sense.. whatevers)... but what defines the "right" moment? does that "right" moment ever come?? if we keep on living like that, we're not going to be doign what God's called us to do. we need to be bold... step out of our comfort zones...

i dont' want to wait any longer... i want my friends to know JC on a real level, not just a holiday/Sunday Christian kinda deal... i mean, what if something did happen... what if, God forbid, their life was taken unexpectedly... how horrible would it be to know that i would never ever see them again... i would feel so guilty... i love seeing and being with my friends and family on earth now.. i'm sure it'll be 20 million times better in heaven, where there aren't all these horrible worldly sufferings goign on...

Jesus died for me today... Good Friday.. he died an extremely painful death for me and for you... he was a good, innocent, and pure person, and yet he had his hands and feet nailed to a cross, and left to hang and die there... and he did this for me and you.. he did it so we could be washed free of our sins, and so that we could live forever with Him and God in beautiful heaven... if only we accept him...
now that's love.

you can either accept it, or not.... but then, what are you living for? if you believe there's some greater power out there, then please, find out who or what it is... don't wait until it's too late, and feel free to chat with me about it.. alright.. i'm off to Good Friday service.. laters.
