Who would you choose?
When you have to choose between the person that you love or Jesus, whom would you choose? i used to think that this is a stupid question. it's obvious that we choose Jesus. but i learnt that reality isn't that easy and it's a really tough question. i never doubt myself whom i should choose. but when the time comes for me to make this decision, i still cry. I found out today that i really really can't live without Jesus. So what i have to do now, is find a way to give my answer, that i choose Jesus.
And here's my comment;
It kinda reminds me of some situations we're faced with each and everyday. When you say, choose Jesus or a person you love, it's not so much of a tough question, when you're not in a butterflies-in-your-stomach state, really :P But let's change the question to a somewhat familiar phrase; Jesus or your job? or Jesus or your career? Jesus or your friends/spouse/money and literally everything else that's of the flesh, and could've threatened you somehow, to farther yourself away from God. Now, that's what I call a tough question. If we're being truthful to ourselves, and thus to God, we realize each and everyday, challenges of such nature haunt us, and each time, we have to answer Him. Look at it this way; what if you're on your deathbed now? what if God calls upon you, and wants you out of this life, to be with Him? what if He doesn't take no for an answer? what if He takes away your everything? It occurs to me, we'll always have to submit to His will, whether we like it or not. So, why not give Him the authority to rule your life, and He'll be the loveliest person you can find, in this world and in the world to come. Amen.
