The people who say life is what you make it have never faced a challenge they could not beat. And believe me, they exist. Life is fleeting… temporary… and should never be taken for granted.
Above all else, life is a gift— divine. To say it something a mere mortal can create is rather arrogant although mankind can snuff it out like a puff of wind. Rather selfish if not weighed and measured extremely carefully.
I am a person who used to utter the words, “life is what you make it,” rather confidently until I was abruptly reminded by my Lord and Savior, Jesus that He is the only One with the power to make ANYTHING from this wretched life I have on this dying planet and dying body.
Only Jesus can create a NEW creature from one destined for DUST. Only He can save a condemned soul from one bound for an eternity to the torture of Hell.
Oh I could “make” my earthly life as nice and successful as I wanted whether monetarily, academically, or fictitiously but I would still end up at the same destination: at the foot of the throne of God. As will we all.
Why do we need to be ready? Confront the status quo? The flow around us and what we are being taught as acceptable in society? Such things as abortion, the decline of the traditional daily and its impact through divorce and family without marriage, legalized drugs, abandonment of morality in our culture, the fallacy that racism is the prevailing norm and acceptable behavior, and white privilege still exists? The privilege that disappeared with the formation of the de-segregation movement and establishment of equal rights for women and minorities as well as the introduction and expansion of scholarships to attend and finish trades, colleges, and universities which continue to this day for both.
Asking tough questions is the only way to know if you have been coerced into believing the lies fed into the educational construct over the last forty years. The Socialism Experimentation as I call it, to seize control over our nation through our children.
If you can’t ask yourself the questions, then maybe you need to ASKED the questions. That is not a bad thing! It is acceptable to be challenged in a society. It is HEALTHY for both the CULTURE AND YOUR MIND. Life is not meant to be lived stagnant and boring without exploration of the people and construct around us. THAT LEADS TO DEATH OF IDEAS, LACK OF GROWTH, and ANIMOSITY.
In other words— conflict instead of civilization— discussion.
God made man with intelligence and as social beings but most of all communicative. Jesus came to liberate us from our earthly nature of hate and destruction and give us a new life of heavenly peace and love.
I can only hope and pray your life is filled with Jesus and when challenges come, His strength and love give you the ability to stand on the precipice with His power. You are in my prayers. God bless.
In Christ,
Renee
