"God Quotations"

"I love you. I gave my son for you. I sent my only son who was perfect in every way to come down to your sinful earth and die on a cross. I see your sins and I look past them. If you call on me as savior and live for me, I enter your life and cover you with blessings and provisions. I created you, knowing you would sin and I sent my son to die for your salvation while knowing you would never stop sinning. I don't call you to be perfect, so stop trying to be. Call on me and let me guide your life." -God

Don't Adjust to the Darkness

"The people who walk in great darkness have adjusted their eyes." -The Journey of Desire

When you walk into a dark room or if it's dark outside, at first you can't see very well. After time goes by, you can finally start to see and your eyes adjust to the darkness. After that point of adjustment, the darkness is normal and your vision is that of if it was daytime.

When we do "sins" for the first time, we feel very guilty and regretful. The second time, the guilt and regret lessens, and time after time it deteriorates to basically zero guilt.
Sin is darkness. God is light. The sin becomes normal. You "adjust to the darkness."

You always hear parents say, "Eat your carrots, they will help your vision."
Well I'm going to go out on a limb and compare carrots to reading God's word and prayer.
Drawing closer to God will better our life vision. Our closeness to God will help us keep from sin and give us conviction to do right. The closer to God, the further from sin you should be.

So eat your "carrots", and better your life vision.
Do not adjust to the darkness.

Newtown, Connecticut Shooting

Prayers and Thoughts go out to those involved with the shooting.

To the parents who are left broken,

To the parents who are left hopeless,

To the families who are left with a void,

To parents that are asking "why"?

To the parents who are left with a life time of hurt,

To parents who can't play with their kid any more,

To the parents who cant take their kid to work any more,

To parents who will be empty this Christmas,

To the parents who can't tuck their kid in any more,

To parents who can't hug their son or daughter any more.

Parents, there is no greater time than now to latch on to Christ and receive his love and comfort.

But mostly. Parents, be comforted knowing Christ is holding them all in his arms for you.
