“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live.” -Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV)
“But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” -Matthew 9:13 (KJV)
life or death.
it’s kind of an easy choice.
maybe… too easy…
the thing is… what then after the choice?
like… there are all these things that we have to live up to as christians.
ugh.
sometimes, it makes me nauseous.
we get so consumed by it.
we get… religious.
(shudder)
i know i am no better than that thief.
i know i am no better than that liar.
i know i am no better than that murderer.
i am all these things.
and sometimes, no matter what i try…
no matter who i strive to be…
no matter what…
i feel like i fail at being what i know i should be.
thank God for Jesus…
thank God for His blood…
thanks be to God.
