Walking Dead...YIKES!

Lately, a lot of people (friends) whom I was close with B.C. (before Christ/before I got saved) have been on my mind...


When I first accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I told everyone about my new found love.  Some of my friends thought I was doing too much and others felt like I was judging them "/.  This really bothered me because my intentions were NEVER to try to shove my new relationship with Christ down their throats and/or judge them.  It's just that I found the secret to eternal life and I wanted them ALL to share in that secret.  Well really, it wasn't a secret it has always been here but I was just too blind to see it.  The light had FINALLY come on for me and I wanted my friends (and those I loved) to experience that same feeling.  It's like knowing that a friend is DYING and not doing ANYTHING to save them *sigh*.


I also found out who my real friends were when I accepted Christ.  All the friends that I had smoked, drank, gossiped and clubbed with didn't call as often or come by and I know why.  It's because we no longer had anything in common *sad but true*.


When I was in the world, before Christ, I knew OF Jesus but I didn't know Jesus (big difference).  A lot of people that I was close with, believe in Jesus Christ but are content with where they are in their lives.  They are content with doing things that are contrary to God's Word because they have no real FEAR of God.  The Bible says in Proverbs and I am paraphrasing, "The fear of the Lord is wisdom".  If there is no real fear of the Lord then there is no knowledge of the Lord to acknowledge him.  (I hope that makes sense).  This knowledge brings obedience...obedience to God's Word. If you LOVE someone, you should have no problems obeying or listening to them and the same goes for GOD.  If you love him then obey him...keep his commandments and we can only keep his commandments through Jesus Christ.  


I am NOT perfect by any means but GOD does not use perfect people, he perfects the people he has chosen.


I pray for my old friends often, not often enough, but every time I think about them.  Often I see people who I grew up with, went to school with and worked with and just see DEATH...a zombie.  They may front like they living it up but I know inside they are incomplete...how I know is because I was the Walking Dead too!  Fronting for people but inside I was dying.  A lot of people may not admit this but deep down you know it is true.  I don't care how many pair of Christian Louboutin's you have, Gucci, Louie and Prada bags you have, none of those things will ever fill the void where JESUS is suppose to be.  I know because I been there...all of those things are temporary pleasures, they don't last.  Why do you think so many "rich people" jump off of bridges?


Bottom line is I hope all my friends and unsaved family members come to Christ...I even pray for my enemies to come to Christ.  All I can do is my part by spreading the Gospel message and praying that the seed falls on good ground.  God wished that none would perish but that ALL would have eternal life.
