Rev 2:7 – …To him who overcomes, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God
Rev 2:11 – …He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.
we have a choice to make, whether to go with our own selfish, cunning, godless instincts, or to chase after the heart of the one who formed us.
in the recent past, i had a certain struggle that i had dealt with for quite some time. sin is sin, and i wasnt no murderer, but then again, my clothes werent as white as snow. i’d dwell in this sin, and worry often, “i’m going straight to hell in a hand basket.” scary thought, right? i’v “repented” asked for forgiveness, and said i’d try to fight this battle, but always, i’d give into my fleshly, earthly desires. then i realized, well this sin is *small*, why not just ignore it? still, condemnation fell on me, and although i believed, still no progress. then i stumbled across those few verses in the bible. Of course, this is right after uncle louie and i had that disgussion about loving God with all your heart, mind and soul. those verses give me hope. we have a choice, to say ‘eh, i am not going to change, and remain stuck in this self-loathing, self-grieving, temporary shell we call a body, or we can make a choice to change and *REPENT*. make that choice and stand up and fight against the enemy. and i pray that this post wasnt too random or cloudy. please, i beg u, for the life of me, send me a message to tell me how im writing and what you think :-p
