I am a FAILURE

You know, being a Christian is not easy. In fact, it's impossible. Well, impossible without the grace of God. Sometimes I look in the mirror and I think to myself, "Why does God continue to love me?". What is it that he sees in me? I sure don't see it. I think about the bad things I've done, said, seen and heard in the past, and I just think to myself, "Yuck". Even now, that I have become so much closer to Christ and learned more and more about the word of God, I still fail. I fail, and I fail and I fail. But yet, God continues to be there. Never, NOT ONCE has he ever failed me. NOT ONE TIME. And yet, he continues to seek me. That is something that I will truly never grasp. I mean, even a parent's love has a limit at some far point. I'm so glad that our salvation is not how close we are to walking like Christ here on this earth, cause God knows I wouldn't be on that list. We are truly blessed that he has sent his ONLY SON to die for us. If it were not for that, my fate would have been sealed in a whole different envelope.

The God of Sex

That's the title of the book I'm currently reading. Now before you go on close this out, hear me out. Even though I've only read through the first chapter, I know what the book is really about. It talks about how some churches totally avoid the subject of "SEX" and some try to brush it off. That reminds me of what some parents do. This is where we all make the mistake. Let me tell you something, sex is all around us. And it's only getting worse. The youth of today will be exposed to it, no matter how much you don't want it to happen, it will. I was in middle school when I first got exposed to the topic. We learned it in health class and of course you hear the bad things coming from other students. Parents, teachers, ministers, pastors or whoever you are, please talk to your kids about sex. If you don't, someone else will beat you to it, and it may not be the right teachings. Even in the bible it talks about sex and how it is a good thing that GOD created for the proper reasons and to be shared with the proper person. But if we keep avoiding the subject, who's going to teach the youth this? Someone you probably don't want to, that's who. Think about it.
