Okay, so I just looked outside while I was supposed to be completing an English assignment. The rain was coming down hard and the sun was shining bright. Sure, classic. The spring thing, right? But it hit me as I looked up. Like God was saying, “This is your life right now. The tears fall freely because of pain and yet the sun is so bright. You hurt and yet you don’t despair. You cry while you smile. You cry because life hurts and smile because my relationship with you is so precious and beautiful.”
Yesterday was the first day of school and the day pretty much ripped me up and then spit me out. It was brutal. I ended up having to drop a class and revamp a lot of my plans. But don’t get the wrong idea – I am not complaining! Life with Jesus is beautiful. His Word is precious. His fellowship is sweet. My attempt to describe it merely “cheapens” it.
I marvel, how can people live without Him? What do they do with the heaviness and weight of it all? What is life like never knowing freedom as a result of a yielded life? How do they make it when their life is turned upside down? They have no One to cling to; no One to rejoice in.
I cannot fathom such despair. My heart bleeds for those who do not know…

I know what you mean. I just think of all the people that have no idea whatsoever about God. Its really scary knowing that once they die they don't get a second chance. It's the end. They will go to hell. I feel a need to share with the world the good news. We don't have that much time. Nobody knows when Jesus will come back. It could be any time.
Ok, I've put in alot more than I normally do but this has stirred me.
i don't even want to think of where i'd be without my Savior. i look at the sin in my life as a believer...it'd be aweful without salvation. i appreciate your honest humility in this post alzers. love you so much!!
