When we shore up our very own idol inside us,
which we have put on a pedestal and revere it, not
even God Himself can destroy it. Not because He
is weak but because He doesn’t save man by force.
It is only worth it if we freely choose and desire
God.
As Christian you can’t play with God. Are you
Christian? No one forces you to be. But if you are,
act so. And if up to this present day, you haven’t
been cautious or taken things seriously “behold,
now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of
salvation”. Once you are alive this very moment,
once your eyes are still open, it’s time you took
matters seriously and acted accordingly.
Whoever gets a little serious he will be
concerned and wonder: “How do I live?” And he
changes approach. He takes a different course of
action. He be comes a different man.
