I think I finally have everything figured out.....

I think I finally have everything figured out.....

No, really I think I know the answers to all questions...

I had a strange night last.  It started with church as usual and then a game of basketball after with the youth group (by the way I a tooooo old and way toooooo fat to play basketball with some teenagers) after the game I had a couple of friends come over so we could kill some zombies on xbox 360 and before we knew it, it was like 2 AM.   you have to remember that I am a single dad of three right now (Michelle is still in Africa) and have to work full time.  So, after my friends left the house I was walking around the house and feeling pretty good about things.  Like how I can stay up late still and how my wife will be home on Friday.  You know, important things like that.  It was in the very moment that all the lights went out that I was standing in total darkness in a totally quite house that the I finally figured it all out...

I finally understand what the bible means when it says

For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light
Ephesians 5:7-9

It was there in that moment I realized that we are living in total darkness, gloom, doubt, hate, fear and so on, but when Jesus comes into our heart he comes with victory and light. When Jesus died on the cross he defeated all those things.  It is with Him and through Him that we have a path into eternal light, heaven. 

As I stood there I flipped on the light switch and as this thought raced through my head i realized this...


ITS ALL ABOUT JESUS!


In HIS name for HIS purpose
