Jesus Rocks!

Do you ever think back to a simpler time.  A time when all your thoughts were pure, and your intentions were always true. Back to a time when no one questioned your morals, or doubted your motives.  Yeah… those were great times weren’t they? Of course not.  Those times don’t exist.  Think back to when you were a younger version of who you are now.  Back to the age of 4 when your thoughts may have been pure, however; they were purely about yourself.  True, you had intentions, but they weren’t always the most honest.  Nope, instead you were scamming how to get into the cookie jar without getting caught.  Or even better, you had a plan to leave behind evidence, evidence that would incriminate your sibling, and keep the blame off you.  Don’t you get it?  We were never 100% good.  From the instant we were born, we were evil.  Maybe not serial killer evil, but we still had evil in us.  We can’t help it, it’s not our fault.  It’s a curse that was brought onto us thousands of years ago in the Garden.  There is good news though, we do have a chance to overcome.  It’s not easy, it’s not without consequences.  It is, however; free.

In the meantime, as we live out our  days on this earth, we must  make a choice every day hour minute of our existence.  Will we choose to do good, or will we choose evil.  I daresay there has been only One that can truthfully say He was good 100% of the time.  Even thought that should be our ultimate goal , let’s be realistic.  It’s just not going to happen. Instead, take this moment… and choose to do good.  Then, in the next, again make the choice to do good.  If you , and I will make this choice more often, then others will follow.  Before we know it, the world could be changed… for the good.
