Only one....

 There has only ever been one perfect person.  Jesus Christ, Son of God is the one and only perfect man free of sin.  Yes he was tempted by Satan himself, however he never waivered in his loyalty to God The Father.  We are all sinners and deserve eternity in Hell.  Jesus made us right with God and saved us from that destiny.  Does this give us the ability to go and do whatever we want??  Well you can make those decisions however with every decision come consequences. Take for example the way you talk with people or about people, including yourself.  When you speak about things you can actually in a way manifest those things around you.  For instance if you speak of being angry and depressed, never having anything good happen in your life, guess what??  Those things tend to happen to you, not because you are magical and have powers but because you draw those things to you.  Bruce Lee stated one time that to be mindful of how you speak about things because  you can cast a spell on yourself.  He believed that was why it was called spelling.  I'm not going to go that far but I will say that there were many times in my life that I hated myself and pretty much everyone and everything.  My life was miserable.  Money was always an issue and no matter what I did nothing seemed to go my way.  I believed that God was punishing me.  I was punishing myself, my perspective on life was grim at best.  I was pushed to a point where I actually had a gun in my mouth.  To this day I can still taste the steel, and remember the feel of it on my teeth and tongue.  This is a constant reminder of how close I was.  I don't know why I didn't pull that trigger, I remember thinking about my daughter, at that time I only had one.  God is the only one who could have stopped me in that moment.  I am not a perfect man, far from it actually.  I have come to realize that God has been working in my life from the beginning.  Even though I have done some pretty crappy things, said some very hurtful words, and walked away from God, He never walked away from me.  I am forever grateful and thankful for that.  No one is perfect yet God loves you and is by your side at all times.  We have all been redeemed in God's eyes because of Jesus and his sacrifice on that Cross.  We all need to Repent of our Sins.  This doesn't mean crying and feeling bad or guilty, it is simply turning to God and changing you heart.  Running to God and not away from him.  Thanking God for everything, things given and provided, and things removed from your life.  Start a conversation by just saying Thank You God and I Love and Need You in My Life.  Try it and see where you may be led, change your life today.  God doesn't care that you aren't perfect, remember there was Only One...

That Cross Around Your Neck...

 When I go out in public places, social events, get online, or watch a show on tv they are everywhere.  What am I talking about?  That Cross...
