Epitome of Grace

“Every plan is a tiny prayer to father time

I rationed breaths as I said to myself that I had already taken too much today

As every descending peak on the LCD took you a little farther away from me.”

- Death Cab

You know what I love?

Definitely those large, loud and angry pastors that scream at the crowd that the end of the world is coming so they should repent to God.

I mean that like saying I will die, sure it will happen.

But, the world will end, eventually. So shut up, this is my life let me live it.

But, doesn’t it feel like our time on this planet is wearing thin?

In the past week, I have seen several global warming, climate control and environment conservation presentations. And we have been doing a heck of a job ruining our world.

It just scares me that maybe we will wake up tomorrow, and the sky will have fallen down. Then what of these lives we live currently?

The ones of failure, regret, happiness, joy, heartbrokenness and sin. So what of all those decisions we regret? The times we have failed? Are those all in vain?

I know I don’t usually do this, but God really laid this on my heart.

I want you to stand up and wrap your arms around yourself as if to stop anyone else from hugging you. Then open your arms out as far as you can as if you were letting everyone in the world in, and just stand there for a second. That’s how Jesus felt.

But think about it, how great is the man, who opens up his arms and hugs everyone of us, even if our arms are closed refusing him? We are still loved.

I know so many people say, the money revolves on money, or hate is stronger than love,

Maybe that’s how we started destroying this world. We haven’t loved our surroundings or each other so, the environment is striking back and war between ourselves is running rampant.

4/12 blog, dared you to compare yourself to the standard of God, and what you thought it might be. It wasn’t exactly original but it did the job. So are you good enough? Every time you stop and are hurt when you stare at the sun and see that you shadow is cast by its beautiful warmth and light, you see that you can be better you can do better, until that shadow disappears huh?

Remember in Pokemon, how you could just save before every battle? That way you could just simply turn the game off and start over if you messed up. Unlimited undo’s, I wish I had that in life. But frankly we don’t. As sure as hell burns, we aren’t good enough to just waltz into heaven.

So maybe those fat TBN pastors have a point?

“For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God”

“Love is watching someone die”

I hope to God its not you.

“If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord, and you believe in your heart god raised him from the dead, you will be saved”

Chivalry is not dead my friends; it lives in the heart of your God and mine.

I said what I had too, and I hope it struck your heart the same way it always does mine.

To invoke change.

So chew on that, talk about it, with God anyway.

Until the world wont turn

Until the planets burn

Until the sun dies out

Be there

Until the heavens come

Until this life is done
