Where are you

WHERE ARE YOU?
Many times we think of God as an angry old man. This zues like god with thunder and lightning waiting to zap someone. He is not my kind of God you say He is just mean. God is mad! i have heard people say many times God is mad at me he could never love some one like me. You may see God as one that in your religion teaches that you have to do certain activities to make him happy or keep him happy.If I do this or that then i might have a chance!!! (you say) I myself comes from something so similar.
I know what it is like to wonder if He cares or if He is there at all. To go to sleep and ask if I do not wake up where will I be?. Is God even aware that I exist?
In the first book of the Bible Genesis There is an awesome account of the love of God. That many miss out on. The first two chapters give an account of the creation of the world and the mighty universe that exist around us. You will read that when God created he always called it good, but when it came to you and me he called it very good. You will read that God even planted a special place for them. The first couple where called Adam and Eve. They had it made. They where told to only stay away from a certain tree. They fell for the lie of the devil and fell from that close relationship from God,Instantly
Now in chapter three you will notice That while Adam and Eve hid, God was looking for them. Adam and Eve after they disobeyed God felt shame. They made an effort to hide it by covering their shame with fig leaves. (ouch) Many times we try to cover our shame the same way with human efforts. We join religion. We offer sacrifices to our gods and idols of pleasure, self indulgence,and religious activity. But the shame does not leave. It only gets worst.we blame it on others and ourselves. We do everything in our power but only to feel worthless and helpless. now back to the Bible.
God was looking for Adam and eve not to get at their case (even though he did)but out of love. Hey Adam where are you??? Hey eve are you there by the flowers? Where are you!!!!? Can you hear the urgency in his voice. Like a parent losing a child at the market. Where are you I don't feel you. A wife speaking to her husband. Where are you!? A father speaking to a lost teen. God: where are you my most valuable creation. Can you hear Gods voice cracking in the fact that something is wrong and he is looking for you and not angry at you but at what separates you from him! SIN!!!!
I know that your religion teaches that your god or gods are angry, But the real creator of all things visable and not, is not angry. He crys out to you where are you. My fiance Donna puts it this way God looks over to His son Jesus and says "son I cant live with out them Go and get them Back! take their place and die for them. Cary their shame ,guilt,sickness and all that is evil. You take their place and Die for I cant live without them son."
Where are you? HE is right there where ever you are at turn to him he loves you
(Rom 5:8) But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
You can accept the reality that Jesus died in your place on a roman cross and carried your sin and all that comes with it. Believe he conquered death and remove the power of the sting of death and sin by raising from the dead. You can have what the bible calls salvation.
Where are YOU!!!!!

Swing to kill
Swing to kill it sound offensive to the religious. To a very violent man it sounds tough. The title is not for the refine and sophisticated Christian or even pagan for it sound so inflated with violence and carnage. The name is not intended to invite a pat on the back from my pagan friends or even an ataboy from Christian men. It simply states a fact of war. You swing to kill. From ancient times to modern times if swinging a sword or a bat, what ever you are aiming at you swing to hit and not miss.
God in Jeremiah a book found in the prophets of the bible, is speaking to an army that will be used to bring judgment to Moab for their treatment towards Israel. God simply tells this instrument of judgment swing to kill. How many times we do the work given to us and we do it just to get by. Never giving 100%. We work only when the boss is around. We live just to please others or to fake it as if we are really doing life. We look for the easy way out. Relationships, tasks and dreams go un touch never finished or waiting for the other person to fulfill their part then we will do ours. The bible calls that a cursed life….
Jer 48:10 "Cursed be the one who does the LORD'S work negligently, And cursed be the one who restrains his sword from blood.
God has placed you and me to live at our best to love to play to work and even if we must fight with everything we got.
Ephesians 1:4 reads this way:
Eph 1:4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love
Now I imagine that you may say "well this verse is about predestination and position in Christ!!!" Yes ,but notice that the word chosen is used this word in the Greek means selection. Then he states the purpose; blameless /holy. My point is we are chosen with a purpose. So as chosen people like Peter states"
1Pe 2:9 But you are A CHOSEN RACE, A royal PRIESTHOOD, A HOLY NATION, A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
Neglegeance is not something to embrace but rather reject. We represent a kingdom of excellence. Lets live like it! Swing to kill.
