Psalm 45:11 "...and the King will desire your beauty..."
Genesis 1:27 "So God created man in HIS OWN image, in the IMAGE OF GOD HE CREATED HIM..."
Don't you want more than the life you're living? Don't you want to make an impact? Don't you want to be part of something powerful, different, lasting? I know you do. You long to be different, but instead you're going the way of the world, the way that is just like others. You have so much to offer, and what are you doing instead? Throwing it all away.
And what gets me the most is that you know. You know what you're missing out on. You know what His Word says, you know what He wants from you, You know The Truth. You have no excuse.
Romans 1:18-23 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against ALL ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is PLAIN TO THEM, because God has SHOWN IT TO THEM. For His invisible attributes, namely His eternal power and divine nature, have been CLEARLY PERCEIVED, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are WITHOUT EXCUSE. For although they KNEW GOD, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling MORTAL man and birds and animals and creeping things.
You claim that you know what you're doing. You won't do anything "stupid". But its a slow fade. Of course you didn't wake up one morning and want this. You claim to be wise, but you are being foolish. Don't you see it? Don't see you that you're destroying what little amount of time you have? Don't you see that you may not have tomorrow? You know this. You've seen death. You've seen how those as young as you have passed away. You've experienced someone close to you being taken from this world. So again, you are without excuse.
Isaiah 40:6-8 "...all flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades when the breathe of the Lord blows on it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but The Word of our God will stand forever."
So what are you doing with your life, you foolish girl? You are living a life for yourself; a selfish, mortal, and hopeless self. One day you will fail. One day you will realize what you have been doing this whole time and the people you surround yourself with, who are also selfish, are not going to help you. Because, just like you, they are living for themselves and no one else, therefore, they can't help you.
And you sit there claiming "its my life, I can do whatever I want with it. One day, I'll do what He wants. But for now, it's all about me." But that's not how it works.
Romans 8:7-8 "For the mind that is set on the flesh is HOSTILE to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh CANNOT please God."
You know better. You know how powerful my God is. You know that in any second, He can turn your life around. In the past: David, Job, Noah; and in your present: Rachel, Giovanni, Morgan, their lives ALL tell of His mighty hand, His unending power. In one second, your life could be over as you know it.
But you've got it figured out. You may first go to those "friends" you have, but what will happen sooner or later? They'll give up. Then you'll turn to your family, who you know will help you. And why would you come to us at last? Because you know we will help you and support you and love you no matter what. We are waiting for you to come to us. Don't you see? We've been where you are. We've been caught up in the pleasures of this life and turned our backs on the only One who truly loved us. And He was waiting of for us to run to Him. And He's waiting for you to run to Him.
Don't you see? It's all about Him. To live a satisfied, joyful, obedient life is what He died for. And you are taking it for granted. Every breathe you take is a gift from the Ruler of the Earth.
Why don't you understand that? It breaks my heart. And I pray for you. I pray that God gives you another chance to realize what you've done. I pray that He uses me in your life, that I resemble a life that is pleasing to Him, a life that is known as "Christian". I pray that you know that you can come to me with anything and know that I will always love you. I know you can do better and just hope and pray that you see that. That you give your life to the only One who commands every little thing in this puny life we live. That you realize where your beauty comes from.
