The Best Thing

 

    God is the best thing for you.  He is the source of all that is good in the world and in your life.  He is jealous for your attention and divine love.  His jealousy is not like our jealousy.  His is holy and pure.  His jealousy reveals how much He wants for you.  He wants the best for you.

    It started with your creation, but after you were put on Earth God wants a real relationship.  A real relationship starts with the covenant of faith.  You have to place your faith in Jesus and listen to the Holy Spirit to have a real relationship with God.  

    It requires wisdom to have a real relationship with God.  You need wisdom to see how much you need him.  He gave you in wonderful gift of free will, but it will be led by emotions if you do not turn to wisdom.  You have the choice to choose life with God or fall into the depth of sin that will crush you in time.  

    One day you will yield to God.  It is better to do yield when it is your choice instead of when you are facing eternal damnation.  No one can hide or escape from their sins.  They are just chasing after their own desires and going no where.  Sin will never be acceptable to God.  It can't be downplayed.  You can't hide behind it to avoid God

    It is okay to accept your sins for what they are and then repent.  Repent is to mourn over your sins and turn away from them toward Jesus.  Salvation takes all that was burying you and removes it.  After that it is maintenance to stay close to God.  Never seeing the peril of your sins only leads to death and destruction.  That is why God is the best thing for you.
