Early This Time

Ok this is weird cause I usually don't post (if I do at all) till the afternoon, but I have found that if I do that people won't read it till the next day. Plus there is never any one at my work on wed.'s. So here I am.

Last night I was on my computer on iTunes looking at and listening to The Fray CD cause I found out last night that they are a Christian band that loves Jesus very much. I read some interviews that were on the internet that some people have had with the lead singer. It was obvious at the end of it all that they are Christians. Anyways I was sitting there listening and eating ice cream, that I didn't need, when a good friend of mine called. This person was upset, I could tell even though they didn't admit it at first. I some what got it out of them what was wrong and so on. We talked for a while, which the best part is this, I have tried talking to them about getting right with God. And to turn and face him. This made me really happy cause I am almost sure that they listened. Before when I tried to talk they would just tell me that they just didn't want to talk about God and getting right. This person knew that they weren't on the right track. And if you are reading this (You know who you are) I hope that you were listening and I hope what I said had some kind of impact.
Now all that to say this, so many people are afraid to turn and face God, so to speak, because they think that He is standing right behind them wanting so he can bash them for being stupid and make them feel horrible and yell at them and so on. This is not true, He is standing right behind you but not waiting to bash you but so he can embrace you and love on you and tell you that He loves you so much. He doesn't want you to turn from Him cause He know that it only leads to pain and heart ache. There are still consequences for our actions, if not then we would just lead right back into that sin. God hates sin but loves us so much. Why would he ever want or let something that He loves so much be with something that he hates and destroys us. He knows what can happen if we continue walking away. I am asking you that if this is you, stop turning you back on some one who loves you so much and wants to help you change. So many people have the wrong concepctions about God. What is really funny is that J.R.'s message tonight is about just that. How people think if God the wrong way all the time. I want to say what the two he is preaching on but I will prob. do that tom. I really wish people would just forget about all these worldly things and just give everything in learning about God and focusing on Him.
