Do you believe everyone is destined for Heaven? “He has mercy on whom he wants, and he hardens whom he wants.” (Romans 9:18) The Bible makes it clear that God, as the Creator, has that option. “Who are you, a mere human being, to talk back to God? Will what is formed say to him who formed it, ‘Why did you make me this way?’ Or the potter has no right to make from a given lump of clay this pot for honorable use and that one for dishonorable?” (Romans 9:20-21)
I’m a crafter–when I have time– so I understand that sometimes one thing must be destroyed in order to make something better. Imagine a wood plank that will become a decorative sign. Each letter is burned into the wood, destroying what the heat touches but turning the remainder into a beautiful message.
What if God “patiently put up with people who deserved punishment and were ripe for destruction? What if he did this in order to make known the riches of his glory to those who are the objects of his mercy, whom he prepared in advance for glory–that is to us, whom he called.” (Romans 9:22-24) Do you wonder if you’ve been called for eternal life? Do you think sometimes that you were created to be one of the dishonorable–not a chosen one? If you have read this far, you probably have some desire to know God. That is all the proof you need that you are chosen and set apart. How can I say that with 100% confidence? “No one can come to me unless the Father–the One who sent me–draws him.” (John 6:44)
You can rest assured of your future beyond this life: “I will raise him up on the Last Day.” (John 6:44) Jesus doesn’t say, “I might,” he says, “I will.” Praise God today–he chose you to be honorable among his creation.
He will do what He chooses.
I love that God gives us a reflection of His creative self. That imago Dei in us is creative.
And I love that He loved us first.
Oh the beauty in being a chosen one!
This is a hard dose to swallow when it’s your child or someone you care deeply about that is of the “hardened ones”.
Yes, it certainly is. I’m thankful that we don’t know the final moments that happen between our loved one and Christ. I choose to believe that reconciliation can happen in the final nanoseconds of life.
I believe everything published was very logical. However,
consider this, what if you wrote a catchier title?
I am not suggesting your information is not good,
but suppose you added a headline that grabbed folk’s attention?
I mean Going Up? – Under The Influence is kinda plain. You ought to look at Yahoo’s home page and see how they
create post titles to grab viewers to click. You might try adding a video
or a pic or two to grab readers interested about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it would
bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
Thank you so much for your suggestions. I am always open to ideas for improvement. Be blessed today.
Would love to always get updated great weblog!
Thank you so much! What is your preferred method of notification?
Peculiar article, exactly what I wanted to find.
Praise God Who always knows what we need and where it is to be found!
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement?
My site has a lot of completely unique content I’ve
either written myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over
the web without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being stolen? I’d certainly appreciate
it.
I do not have any specific means of security about that. On my pics I always put my name on them so they can’t be stolen. My written material has not been stolen to the best of my knowledge but I am sure it could be. I think in that case the only thing to do is to pursue a plagiarism charge. I don’t know how much good it will do though. In my particular case, if they steal my work I just pray that the person God meant it for has a chance to see it. It’s not really my work, it’s God’s through me so it’s His decision where it should go. Sorry, not much help I know. Thanks for reading my post <3

Hello! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with
hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended
up losing many months of hard work due to no
back up. Do you have any methods to prevent hackers?
I have not been hacked by the grace of God! I don’t use anything more than what is offered under WordPress. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
Everything is very open with a really clear
clarification of the issues. It was really informative. Your site is useful.
Thanks for sharing!
