Reality Check – hello!

Our days quickly get packed with stuff. Work consumes our minds. Traffic tests our tempers. Friends hurt us. We say the wrong thing. We over-think the mistakes we made. We try to impress people. We get trapped and busy days become over-consumed weeks. Over-consumed weeks become stressful months and stressful months quickly becomes a year of days filled to the threshold with nothing that really mattered in hindsight. Life…gotta love it. No seriously, we’re supposed to love being alive. But how many days do we forget what we did? So busy doing what seems important at the moment but if it was really that important, wouldn’t it matter a month later? a year later? the next day?

It’s seriously time to wake up. HELLO! WAKE UP! Figure out what matters and get rid of the things that don’t. Oh and believe me, I’m speaking to myself. Repent, forgive, forget, move on, let things go, free yourself from the life that the world says you need to live and live the life that you were created for. Stop letting yourself get consumed with the opinions of those who have no influence over your destiny and lose yourself to the One who does. Believe in your life and the days you’re meant to live. Believe that you have a future that matters. You are too important to get lost in the mix of people who are born and die and did nothing that truly mattered.

“Your greatest sin, is not the abortion that you’ve asked forgiveness for, or the adultery, or whatever it is that you did in your life, in a past that you’re ashamed of, that keeps hounding you… your greatest sin is not that, your greatest sin is not believing God’s word when God says you’re forgiven! your greatest sin is unbelief. you want to repent of something, friend? stop repenting of sins you’ve already repented of, and repent of your unbelief.” – “Voices” – House of Heroes
