If you plan to do evil, you will be lost; if you plan to do good, you will receive unfailing love and faithfulness. –Proverbs 15:22(NLT)
AVOID BEING LOST
A poem and essay by ILMA
Does your life’s purpose align with God’s will?
Do you allow the enemy to steal or kill?
If you do good, you carry the cross.
If you do evil, you will be lost.
Whenever you obey God’s commands
Life becomes clear despite all its demands
Whenever you follow your selfish nature
You become confused and remain immature.
Have you ever been so confused and lost? I have been in that road of confusion and lawlessness many years of my life. Because I didn’t consult God’s word during those dark years, I became a slave of my own desires and weaknesses. It was also in these years of turmoil that I heard a voice inside me that was inviting me back to come back and restore my relationship with the Lord. I chose to respond to the invitation with open arms. I repented of all my sins and embraced Jesus in my life.
The bible tells us that if you plan to do evil, you will be lost; if you plan to do good, you will receive unfailing love and faithfulness. As soon as I gave up sin and chose Christ, my life became peaceful and full of light. No more confusion.
PRAYER
Lord, free me from my sinful nature.
REFLECTION
Why do we need to feed on God’s word daily?
