Day 16: Privilege to Believe

We have been to many places

and have seen many faces,

yet one thing has always been the same~

WHO I BELIEVE.

I take HIM wherever I go,

because I wouldn't know what to do with myself

without HIM.

It brings me to tears to just think about it.

What if you weren't allowed to

BELIEVE GOD?

Really think about.

You aren't allowed to

BELIEVE that

"the LORD your GOD is with you wherever you go"

(Joshua 1:9).

You aren't allowed to

BELIEVE that GOD

"knitted you together in your mother's womb"

(Psalm 139).

You aren't allowed to

BELIEVE that

GOD hears your PRAYERS.

You aren't allowed to

BELIEVE that GOD

"forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagles"

(Psalm 103:3-5).

You aren't allowed to

BELIEVE

that

GOD SO LOVES YOU,

that

HE sent HIS SON to save you so that you wouldn't perish.

You just aren't allowed to

BELIEVE GOD exists

and that

JESUS gave HIS LIFE for you,

and

that

there is

AN ETERNAL LIFE

where

"HE will wipe every tear from their eyes.

There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain,

for the old order of things has passed away”

(Revelation 21:4).

Therefore,

you are not allowed to

BELIEVE JESUS when HE tells you what

HE will do

if you did BELIEVE~

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in; believe also in ME. MY FATHER'S house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with ME that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going"

(John 14:1-4).

So what if

you aren't allowed to

BELIEVE GOD & JESUS?

Would

the REAL PEACE that transcends all understanding be possible?

Would there be the unspeakable REAL JOY that overrides despair?

Would you experience

the REAL LOVE that rids your life of rejection?

Would there be

the REAL HOPE that brings light into every dark space?

What if.

Case Closed.

Tick. Tick. Tick.

You LIVE. You DIE.

But you LIVE FOREVER.

Just think about it for one

SECOND~

WHAT IF YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BELIEVE GOD?

Ouch!

It would make you

BELIEVE,

and never ever ever ever

take advantage of the

GIFT of FAITH

that has GRACED everyone

to have the privilege

to

BELIEVE GOD.

TICK. TICK. TICK.

BELIEVE. BELIEVE. BELIEVE.

And never stop

because

you have GOD'S PERMISSION to

"BELIEVE FOR IT"
