To find yourself, think for yourself.
You live only once. Who told you that? Jesus told His disciples right before He was to be crucified these words “ I go to prepare a place for you. ” (John 14:2)
Then He said John 14:3 (KJV) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Live it up while you are here and you may wish you hadn’t. One life will soon be passed. Only what’s done for Christ will last. ~CT Studd~
Luke 18:29 (KJV) And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's sake,
Luke 18:30 (KJV) Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting.
Hebrews 9:27 (KJV) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
This ain’t all, there is more to come. Too many let others control them without even knowing it. I heard this long ago and it made a lot of sense to me. A man buys a house priced at 345,000 which will become his home for the woman he will marry and the children they will raise. The bank loans him the money at 6.75% and he pays a down payment of 12,075 he then begins to pay back the money monthly over the next 30 years at 2,619 per month for the next 30 years. He will pay back almost a million dollars way more than the bank loaned him. Now whose plan was that? Not yours! Now I know we don’t have that kind of money just laying around but if I were your friend and loaned you $100 and asked you to pay back $300 what would you think? We must be careful not to let others do our thinking for us. Bring it down on a lower level, who is telling you what type of clothes to buy, shoes to wear, vacations to take? The person at work tells you there’s no place called heaven or hell. There’s no way the Bible is true let alone the Word of God. Take their word for it and you have just let someone else do your thinking for you. Death is very important for once it has taken place you will be done as far as this world is concerned. If you are going to believe that this life is all we have then do your own thinking. Be sure! There was a man who thought no God, no Heaven. This man was asked to prove it? He was a law student and accepted the challenge. His name was Josh McDowell and he wrote a book about his finding. You can read about what he discovered in his book “A Journey From Skepticism to Faith.” It just might change the way you think.
Galatians 6:4 (KJV) But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
Oh to let someone else think for you is easy but is it profitable for you?
