To everyone out there who has a relationship with Christ, LISTEN TO ME.

We are SAINTS who are to live in this world but NOT be OF IT.

That means LIVING as citizens of HEAVEN on Earth.

It definitely is not as EASY as it sounds.

We are, after all, NOT CAPABLE of doing any GOOD.

As DESCENDANTS of ADAM, we inherited a NATURE of SIN.

All we are and ever HOPE to be has been DAMNED.

GRACE, however, was GIVEN through JESUS CHRIST's BLOOD.

Only by HIS POWER can we hope to OVERCOME.

His VICTORY is complete.

So why do we still FALTER?

Because WE CHOOSE TO.

We have only TWO VOICES to LISTEN to:

1) GOD's voice, which speaks TRUTH and commands RIGHTEOUSNESS through OBEDIENCE.

and

2) the OTHER voice, which fill us with LIES that steer us AWAY from the LIGHT.

Every DECISION we make, and every ACTION we do is a CHOICE we've taken.

The lies are STRONG, stronger than US.

But ONLY if we ALLOW it to be, by STRAYING from HIS LOVE.

The MORE the lies?

The CLOSER we should DRAW TO HIM.

Hear me out, FELLOW SAINTS.

Listen to the cautious WARNINGS of him who has gone ASTRAY and is finding his WAY BACK.

It is HARDER to go your OWN way and then REPENT.

Listen, it will be BETTER for you to CONSTANTLY OBEY.

Been there, done that -- Don't follow me.

Yet to those who have been WANDERING OFF.

Follow me, TOGETHER let's go BACK to our FATHER.

With LOVE and BLESSINGS,

TheProdigalSaint
