Chaos that has Peace

**Before I start my usual long post of a thought, I thought I would give insight to the inspiration to this post. I was listening to "Whatever You're Doing (something Heavenly)" by Sanctus Real and "Break Every Chain" by Will Reagan. I recommend listening to these songs, especially if you've never heard them. **


     Recently there has been alot of peace that has been taken from us and from myself personally and especially from this world. I don't think I need to go in great lengths to say that there is a disruption of peace and an attempt to disrupt what is God's will for our lives. With the news, social media, and terrible attacks on peace throughout the world at our finger tips it is easy to wonder where God may be, it is easy to point the finger at the christians, or the muslims or the jews, or the buddhists, but in reality we need to turn our finger to ourselves and see what we have done. Look into ourselves and focus on what we have done to our personal relationship with God, what have we done to the honor of the Bible and the peace, love and joy that God explains as examples of love.
     I was going to write about my personal walk and my personal struggles I have been facing but I felt a prompting from the Lord instead to speak to each and every person who reads this about something that is far more important than myself and that is your personal walk, your personal life, your personal choices, your most intamet parts of your life, mind, and home. As I type this I am praying that God reaches you through your computer screens, cellphones, tablets, and touches your heart, and tugs on your heart so hard that by the time you reach the bottom of this post you have fallen to your knees and reached out to Him. There is no need for fancy words or setting the scene, no need to get dolled up and go to a church to do this.

Where you are, I am asking you, God is pushing and asking you, the person reading this screen to pray. Not to let out all the woes you are facing but to come to Him with a child's heart and just in your way express your deepest love, your deepest need for Him in your life, not just so you can have the things you want, but so you can change your heart and your mind and your way of life to serve Him and want what He wants.

I used to think that you needed to have eloquent words, or live a "perfect" christian life to come to Him and then I realized if I was perfect, if I did everything right, then I would not need Him, God isn't for the 'perfect' He's for the imperfect. If you've done something wrong, if you have strayed away these past few days, weeks, months or even years I want you to know God doesn't care, all He cares about is loving you and that your there now and your wanting to make things right. The best part: All you have to do is ask and He will take care of the rest.

For my strong willed christians: Stop judging others, stop comparing others to what the Bible says about the standard of living, now don't get this twisted. I am not saying to abandon the Bible and it's instruction for the way of life, what I am saying however is it's not your job to personally take call out each person and their issues that is the Holy Spirit's job and last time I checked you are not even close to being the Holy Spirit. I love your fire and your commitment but what this world needs is not us shaking our fists and throwing stones, but instead drop your stone that you have in your hand and look at yourself in the mirror you surely are not the one with a spotless heart. You yourself have made mistakes in your past some terrible and some very little but either way your not perfect.

For the ones who are on the fence: JUMP OFF THE FENCE!! I am here writing to you to tell you the plunge into your relationship with God will be so well worth it!!! The things your clinging to you and I both know are far less important and they will be hard to let go of but when you empty your full hands of useless things God bestows great and mighty things that far surpass it so let them go and grasp onto God and what He has planned for your life.

For the ones who hate the faith that I love so much: I pray for you, not for any harm, not for you to fall off the face of the Earth but that the hate that someone put in your life for my faith will be demolished and your chains will be set free so that you can experience what true happiness is, I pray that you fall on your face praising the Lord and when you finally look up you see His face and all of His splendor.

For the ones wondering where God is: He is here, He is with you, yes the world is scary and yes there are alot of terrifying things going on in the world but it's important you remember that fear is NOT of the Lord so if the things going on the world is scaring you keep in mind it's not of God, the things that are occurring is not God abandoning us, There is a free will that comes with God, God has a will but each person has to be willing to accept it, and if they choose not to then they are turning to their own devices of evil and they are turning to their own life, and as much as we may want to question it and fight it, that is God's will to allow each person to have the opportunity to CHOOSE Him and for that we must be respectful and know that when it comes down to it God has your back.

Lastly,
I pray that we take the stones and drop them, we open our arms and start embracing our neighbors, we start to pray unceasing not for destruction, not for a war but for a spiritual awakening of the Lord amongst our entire little big world. Please take the time to look inward and see what you have done within your own spiritual relationship with God. Have you tried to take over the Holy Spirit's job judging others and have you taken it upon yourself to decide who is worthy and who is not worthy to the Lord? Have you thought critically and ill of someone? Let it go and Let God handle not just them but you.
