You really want me to try that again?

Do we really get second chances?

Or is it that we choose to pick up ourselves and continue on in a way that may produce a different outcome than the one we chose before because we put forth the effort? That luck has nothing to do with it but effort has everything to make it possible?

Can you honestly say that if you could "do it all again" that it would be different? How can it be different if you yourself have not changed? I sit here, knowing it's way past my bedtime, the kids are fast asleep, and 6am is going to come way to fast. However, this plagues my heart. Why is it that Christian's complain about the past, but yet do nothing to change their future outcomes? It's all about the "What if's." Well guess what......I'm tired of hearing "What if."

How do you change your future?

What makes you, drives you?

Why is it we have become such a lazy nation. Letting others do the things we would rather not. That going out of our way for someone else is a bother, telling the truth is harder than just covering it up with a little white lie, and that to give your heart fully is not an option. Why do we believe that our choices are the right ones? How can you become different than the "American Christian," A title that is used like water to everyone. No one is set apart and many are still going to hell under this title. Why? because they know not what they believe and do not follow what God desires.

Psalm 2:10-12

"Therefore, you kings, be wise; 

be warned, you rulers of the earth. 

Serve the Lord with fear 

and celebrate his rule with trembling.

Kiss his son, or he will be angry 

and your way will lead to your destruction,

for his wrath can flare up in a moment.

Blessed are all who take refuge in him."

The Verse that hit me the hardest was

{AND YOUR WAY WILL LEAD TO YOUR DESTRUCTION}

How true is that. No matter how many second chances we get, no matter how much we change, OUR way will lead us to destruction. That when we make God the ruler of our life, that is the only time we will succeed, not needing a "second chance." Because our first won't be ours at all but His.

Take refuge in Christ.

Your Change:

Learn what scripture says, what God desires from and for you.

Be set apart, remember we are not of this world and in that the world will hate us for it.

Find those that love Christ, surround yourself with them, You are who you are with. 

And always remember, Put God First in your life.

P.S Being a christian is NOT easy, if your looking for easy, you will never find it here.
