When we choose good over evil we live truly live a great life in Christ. Who would have thought that to be one of the most important choices we could ever make as women and men of God. But its true. When we choose to follow in greatness, I believe that only greatness can follow, can fill us completely as long as we remain true to God and true to our calling. Sure it is hard work, but this kind of work benefits our souls salvation. It benefits society, it creates a place in this world that symbolizes Gods ways and not our own. We place him in the forefront of our very lives and we experience a miraculous outcome. Why because, I believe his love for us shines through all that he has created, and when we remain in him, we remain on the course of life of greater inner fufillment. Life is --- defintely worth living. How do I know this? In 1990 I had decided to follow a life in Christ. I sensed deep down in my spirit and I trusted my creator knowing since he makes everything beautiful, pristine, and perfect, if I abandoned my desires, and lived only for Him, something really unique and special would happen. Reflecting very deeply upon my life, I saw his hand in my life at birth through my teenage years, up to the point of my reasoning and making mistakes, I had realized one could easily self destruct within their own free will, and there were many close calls of destructive behaviors not just in my life but seen in the lives of others. I was aware and equally alarmed by the forces of free will, and wanted more for my life. So I chose Christ and learned to become more discipline, more obedient, and that decision enriched my well being, that decision took me on a course alone with Christ. Many judged me wrongfully in that decision and of course that hurt needed to be temporarily worked through, but I knew I was about to embark upon a journey alone with my creator, and nothing was going to get in the way of that important decision. It was as if I was being asked to take a piece of chalk, and erase the old blackboard, and rewrite the story of my life. I truly believe that God knew I had wanted much more, than the life I had been living. And I was given the opportunity to prove to myself, the new life I had wanted, that clean slate was available to me, and yes I was about to begin my life anew, and write my own story from this moment on. When you live long enough you realize that God gives us several chances to get things right. We all make mistakes, but mistakes are stepping stones toward growth and maturity and our desire to learn from each experience. We don't have to be locked into our past weaknesses, but we can certainly break free of them and become stronger human beings. When we choose to live in God's will, and within Gods boundaries, we will always be safe guarded from all harm. God knows what is best. God knows us better than we know ourselves. We choose to place all of our trust in him, because we know deep down there in lies, the absolute finest of all outcomes. Honestly, the longer we live and breathe in Him, the more we see this truth and there is no denying his presence, his power, we were all meant to be in his love, twenty four seven. And as we experience his "Magnificent Joy", we get a true glimpse of heavens gate opening wide to us as believers, we certainly are given the opportunity to maximize and prioritize our life in Christ, while still roaming the earth. But what happens to us in eternal life? Will our work continue for souls still living when our earthly doors close and the eternal doors open? Does death on earth become eternal life as we know it, through our prayers shaping the rest of humanity yet to return to God? I somehow think that those given the task of being prayerful warriors will continue their apostolate in Christ.
