Wanting To Be God

Updated: Jun 29, 2021

The eternal enemy of God wants to be God. It’s why he lost his place in heaven. It’s why he convinced Eve in the garden, she and Adam could be a God also. He has not stopped trying to convince us we can be God.

Why? Three reasons.

One, he wants to disrupt and dispute God’s sovereignty.

Two, he wants us to distrust and disbelieve God really loves and cares for us like we deserve.

Three, he wants to destroy our lives by overwhelming us with the thought we can be God. We can do everything. We can solve all problems. We can make everything happen just the way we want.

Around the globe we will be doing exactly what many of our brothers and sisters in Christ have doing for centuries. Adapting to the changing situations and circumstances in our world. He called us to follow Him. He didn’t say it would be easy. He said He would be with us.

Let Him be God. Let Him love others through you. Let Him solve all of the problems you (we) cannot. Let Him prove His love for you. Let Him guide you through the darkness. Let Him cover you with His grace, gather you in His arms, and overwhelm you with His love.

As always, it’s your choice. Choose wisely.

Peace, roy

Through the Eyes of Jesus

I love to see people who love others like Jesus did. Didn't matter where you came from, how long you've been gone, how much baggage you carried, or how much help you needed. Jesus loved and loves you. He viewed everyone he met as a future, if not already a follower.

I believe Jesus had an affectionate smile, immediately inviting you into a conversation with someone who would really listen. Someone who cared with the kind of rare empathy which transcended normal humanity. People who met Jesus were profoundly impacted.

Jesus had a passion for the forgotten, the folks who no one else wanted. The people who would make most 'religious' people nervous and uncomfortable. His compassion wasn't a social position. it was a deep conviction people mattered. Jesus was going to love you, it is who he was and is.

If you come from a difficult and troubled past, you were welcomed to join him. He didn't spend timne focused on the past, but today and tomorrow. He saw the present in light of the future. He wasn't surprised by people's shattered lives. But He didn't look the other way either.

This is who Jesus was, and is. This is who I want to be.

As always, it's your choice. Choose wisely.
