Choosing Jesus

{Choosing Jesus.}

Choosing Jesus over this world is a choice we all face. Everyday. Even after we are saved and have Jesus in our hearts, we face temptation. Temptation is a hard battle to fight. But it's a fight we can win as long as we rely on the Lord for our strength. This post really goes out to the teen age girls who have that choice to make. Do you want the world or do you want Jesus? I chose Jesus when I was 15 years old. And I have to choose him everyday. When Satan whispers in my ear and wants me to fold, to bend to the world and to stoop to his level, the Lord whispers softly "Choose Jesus". There is nothing better then Jesus. This morning when I woke up, I had to choose Jesus..as I went through my day I had to choose him. And tonight when I go to bed ill choose him again. When your saved the devil tries hard to pull you down so that you don't have a good testimony. If you are a Christian then you most likely have unsaved friends, co-workers, and  neighbors They will all look to you for that Christian example in their life, and if you don't choose Jesus they will know it. Is what you are living like enough to draw a lost person from the world and towards Jesus? Is what you are living for worth Christ dying for? He died on Calvary for our sins, he suffered and died so that we could live and if we accept him we will have everlasting life. You say "it's not easy living for God at school", and I wont argue because I know it's not. The truth is it wasn't easy for Christ to die for us either but he did and if he is willing to suffer through that for us then I think we should live for him. There will always be hard days and there will always be temptations but there is ALWAYS God too! He walks with us, every step we take. He will never leave us or forsake us, he is here to guide us and comfort us. He will be our father, our friend, our shelter, our Shepard and our strength. All you have to do is decide that you would rather have Jesus than anything this world has to offer. Take this world and Give me Jesus!
